Ti Rico Gunsmith

Tony Tirico grew up on a family ranch in Eastern Oregon with a rifle in hand. His father gave him his first Remington .22 at age six, and by ten, he was already troubleshooting his own firearms—fixing that same rifle after falling out of a jeep during ground squirrel hunting. He learned to reload centerfire ammunition at twelve and spent decades collecting firearms before formally training as a professional gunsmith.

After twenty years working as a Civil Engineer for the City of Bend (handling water, sewer, street, and airport projects), Tirico enrolled in the American Gunsmithing Institute's Master Gunsmithing and Certified Firearms Appraiser courses. He received his Professional Gunsmithing Master Certificate on January 31, 2020, and his Certified Firearms Appraiser Certificate on March 17, 2020.
