"Warren Duncan: 'When someone asks how's business? I like to say going pretty good, don't have to get a real job yet.' This is a family business built on sacrifice and community investment since 2008."

They're licensed for NFA/Class 3 manufacturing and sales, which most shops don't handle. The gunsmithing team includes a DuraCoat specialist (Travis Morey) and a precision machinist (Matt Brian) capable of handcrafting suppressors and doing rigorous custom work. Most importantly, they emphasize making shooting accessible - the range has youth programs, they focus on patient instruction for new shooters, and they've built a staff culture that feels like family rather than retail transaction.

Family-owned and operated since 2008, with roots going back to Warren's father's original FFL in 1968.
