Reproduction, restoration and repair of early American muzzle loading rifles and shotguns.

Clouds of black powder smoke have rolled across the American landscape for centuries. Explorers, mountain men, settlers- hunter and all, to be sure- carried a trusted long arm as they carved lives out of a westward-moving frontier.

Today, original arms of the pioneers are scarce; working models come at a premium, while well- worn, "affordable" collectibles have lost much of their character. And many modern rifles that belch the black stuff scarcely resemble their predecessors.

Here in the Old Dominion, however, a noted gunsmith works with his hands- with wood, steel, flint, and fire- to reproduce firearms of distinction. Al Edge tirelessly researches the methods and styles of American gunsmiths of eras past to faithfully recreate muzzle loading arms for use by discerning customers today.
