CAGE: 1TE83

Experience Counts. . . .

Snipers using KMW built rifles have won the Top Team and/or Top Gun awards at the 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008 North American Sniper Championships ( N.A.S.C.).

I have been riflesmithing since 1987 and participating in regional, national and international competitions since 1978.  I still shoot competitively with the thought that getting on the line against the top shooters and teams from other parts of the country will help me continue to refine what does and does not work in the real world. 

We win some and we lose some, but we always learn something new.  I am a Reserve Deputy for the 490 man Rapides Sheriff’s Office and represent them at some of the Tactical rifle shoots around the country.

I can handle agency and team weapons.  All design, machining and fitting is done to provide  world class accuracy in real world conditions.

Agency or Department Purchase Orders and R.F.P.s  are welcome.

Congratulations Geordie!

This Australian rifle driver is one of the best.

shooting a KMW  SENTINEL Combat Stock

The components and techniques that go into my rifles are developed and refined from lessons learned in training and competition.   These lessons are not only learned by myself but numerous other rifle drivers whose experience is critical to the evolution of our equipment.

We are fortunate to have our rifles in use across the country.  The feedback  gained from those rifles as well as our own equipment performance in the real world is invaluable. 

It is just one way that we continue to evolve our rifle work and refine our building techniques to bring you the best weapon possible.
