Cale's Gunsmithing

Cale's Gunsmithing is a 1,000 sq. ft. log building dedicated entirely to custom gunsmithing. Owner Steven M. Cale studied at Trinidad State Junior College in Colorado under master gunsmiths, earning an Associates degree in Applied Science of Gunsmithing. He returned to West Virginia in 1982 and established Timberline Outfitters L.L.C., where he's spent the last three decades refining his craft.

"Striving for perfection and always in the pursuit of accuracy"

This is a custom shop, not a production facility. Work is performed one gun at a time:

• •Custom rifle building
• •Firearm restoration and preservation
• •Repair and refinishing
• •Work on rifles, shotguns, and pistols
• •Hard-to-find gunsmith services typically unavailable in production shops

Cale offers services that preserve firearm heritage and keep a dying art alive. His training and experience mean he handles projects that require real skill.

Project timeline depends on scope: - Over-the-counter work: completed daily - Rush work: few days to weeks - Custom builds, restorations, bluing: 90-120 days

Work is handled first come, first serve. Pricing is comparable to other professional service industries. Estimates are provided when your firearm arrives. Deposits required for materials over $100 on larger projects. Accepts cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover.

"The quality will be remembered long after the price has been forgotten"

As the original owner, you can ship directly to a licensed gunsmith without using an FFL dealer. Most customers prefer face-to-face appointments to discuss projects. Drop-offs welcome with appointment. Both UPS and FedEx deliver weekly. The shop can also arrange pre-paid shipping cartons sent to your door—you just pack and hand it to the carrier.

"If you are not satisfied I am not satisfied"

Every firearm is treated as if it were Cale's own. Attention to detail and highest level of craftsmanship is the standard. Work with quality suppliers including Bartlein Barrels, Nightforce and Leupold Scopes, Jewell Triggers, and Krieger Barrels.
