Kinnear Rifle Company

Kinnear Rifle Company has been building accurate custom rifles since Dennis Prendergast opened his first gun shop in 1978. What sets them apart: Prendergast spent 35 years as an aerospace machinist, CNC programmer, and mil-spec inspector before going full-time with the gunsmith business in 2006. That precision-manufacturing background shows in every rifle and part they build.
