River House Custom

Greg Zydiak turned his quarter-century of tinkering into River House Custom in May 2018. This is a one-man operation that does real gunsmithing—building and repairing parts from scratch, not just swapping components.

• •Rust bluing is his specialty. It's a dying art, but Greg has mastered it because he believes it produces the most beautiful and durable finish available. He focuses on reviving neglected 20th-century firearms with custom work aimed at improving reliability, accuracy, and aesthetics.

• •Detail strip, clean & oil
• •Scope mounting and sight installation
• •Stock repairs and metal refinishing
• •General repair and custom choke tubes
• •Headspace checking and stuck brass removal
• •Firearm appraisals
• •Custom reliability and accuracy work

Greg continues his education—he's trained under master 1911 builder Bob Marvel and stays current with gunsmithing best practices.
