Black Canyon Customs

Fritz Ahlquist founded Black Canyon Customs after a career working alongside some of Colorado's top gunsmiths. He started at the Colorado School of Trades, then spent years building expertise at a respected local shop before joining Mile High Shooting—where he earned recognition from peers for precision rifle work. Now operating independently in Larkspur, CO, he treats every project as a craft piece.

"Absolutely peerless precision rifle smith. Did an exceptional job with rebarreling and other services. Prices were extremely fair (frankly, a bargain). He will continue to get any/all of my precision rifle work." — Wells LaRivière

Customers consistently mention three things: meticulous workmanship (rifles that "shoot like lasers"), fair pricing that undercuts the market, and actual customer service—Fritz personally follows up on orders and solves problems without excuses.
