"We do not sell, share, or reveal customer names and telephone numbers with anyone."

Track of the Wolf treats customer privacy seriously—no spam, no data sales. Orders placed via encrypted shopping cart are secure. Fax orders are especially reliable since handshakes confirm correct transmission.

They've built their reputation on depth in a specific niche. While they don't do general gunsmithing, their parts inventory for obscure American, Italian, and Spanish muzzle loading guns is hard to find anywhere else. Their staff knows what fits with what and can guide you toward compatible components.
