"Don't see what you're looking for? We are a full service gunsmithing shop and can handle just about anything! just ask!"
Two scenarios describe their approach:
- •New to rifles? Hayes has a conversation with you about requirements—barrel length, caliber, intended use, budget—and gets you "squared away with the absolutely perfect rig."
- •Seasoned pro needing work? If you just need a new bolt knob and a trigger adjustment, they make it hassle-free.
Both get direct access to the owner during shop hours.
- •Serves the greater Kansas City area with walk-in shop appointments
- •Ships nationwide via UPS or Federal Express
- •F.O.B. Weston, Missouri (buyer assumes shipping risk and cost)
- •Custom orders must be placed directly with the shop
