As an avid competitive shooter and hunter, I expected a lot from custom guns and there were many times I found myself wanting something more—more accuracy, more reliability, more attention to detail. This drive for perfection began my journey to create that "something more", and, in 2007, Apache Machine & Custom, LLC opened for customers.

I spent years learning various gunsmithing and machining techniques from esteemed gunsmiths and master machinists, and took a few years of machine processes and CNC classes at a respected vocational college. I have since formed my own techniques and fabricated most of my tooling and specialized fixtures to fulfill my drive for accurate, reliable, quality, and great-looking rifles and single shot pistols.

The refinement of these techniques has turned into a demanding discipline but produces a top-shelf product. When you handle an Apache product, you'll immediately notice the details; flawless stress-free bedding, correctly-sized silky smooth threads, precisely machined and fitted components, and beautiful metalwork finishes. You'll also notice the downrange performance in the field or on the range—whatever your game.

In 2016, a new shop was designed and constructed exclusively for the purpose of building these rifles and pistols. The facility is 100% climate-controlled and features CCTV and monitored security, a machining and fabrication area, a bedding and assembly area, secure and organized components storage, a professional coating room with an updraft spray booth and commercial-style ovens, and a 100-yard test range right outside the back door. Stop by sometime; I think you’ll be impressed.
