About Us

Buck Mountain Rifle Works makes replacement gunstocks for most makes/models of rifles and shotguns and provides custom rifle services such as barrel and action work, chambering and building complete custom rifles.

Our primary workload is producing replacement semi-finished gunstocks and duplication services.

We build custom rifles on order, but our waiting list is substantial.

Call us and we'll discuss your project.
