For supreme performance, there is nothing to match a gun, or pair of guns, designed and made for an individual shooter. Every aspect of the gun's specification can be chosen to match a person's needs: the bore, the barrel length, the type of locks, the trigger mechanism - a truly comprehensive range of choices, which can then be matched with a stock of exquisitely figured walnut, shaped precisely to fit the user. Customers can also specify the style of engraving, review the proposed design and inspect the work in progress. The final result is a supremely accurate and perfectly fitted weapon which is also an enduring masterpiece of the gunmaker's art.
