Full description and what we offer
Jake was born and raised in the Midwest with hunting in his blood since childhood. He started his career as a machinist, but his dad gave him solid advice: combine that machining skill with gunsmithing. After graduating from Colorado School of Trades in Gunsmithing in 2003, Jake spent years working on thousands of firearms in Arizona before relocating back to Wisconsin in 2010 to establish his own shop.
Today, Gunsmith Jake operates out of 14 Brown Blvd in Rothschild, WI as a fully certified FFL gunsmith. When he's not at the bench, he's hunting—that passion never left.
