For over 40 years I have dedicated myself to gunsmithing, and SMITH GUN offers a wide range of gun specialties. I believe that if the repair work cannot be done at SMITH GUN, it just can’t be done. Accurate rifles, whether hunting or bench rest, is just one of my many passions. Over the years I have built many accurate rifles. I consider an accurate rifle to be a rifle that will group a three shot group at a hundred (100) yards that can be covered with a dime or less, a “mickey mouse group.”

I also build single barrel trap shotguns on a Highwall Martini/Greener action. Several of the shotguns I have built are in use on the ATA circuit. These shotguns are custom built for each individual.

If you would like a custom, accurate 1911, SMITH GUN is where you will get one. Ours are guaranteed to group less than one (1) inch at twenty-five yards in a Ransom Rest.

SMITH GUN also offers a variety of gun finishes. We electroless nickel, cold rust blue, hot blue, parkerize, and color case harden. Our color case harden finish is an actual case hardening process. It is the same finish that Colt uses on their SAAs. We also manufacture our own bluing salts and sell them within the industry. No more “plum” colors with our salts.

SMITH GUN is an actual gun shop and machine shop. We keep parts on hand for most guns, and we make parts for obsolete guns. We install screw-in choke tubes, muzzle brakes, and much, much more. E-mail us for any questions you might have.

In September 2015, I became a certified Licensed to Carry (LTC) Instructor and we now offer individual and group classes.   E-mail us for more information.

I am also an NRA Certified Handgun Instructor as of April 2014.

None of the labor prices include parts unless noted.  Our work is guaranteed for 30 days from the time the gun LEAVES the shop and ONLY the portion we worked on.  If inletting is required to finish a particular job, we will charge extra without notifying the customer.  Jobs NOT listed on enclosed price lists wil be quoted individually.  We incur a labor minimum labor charge on all work; contact us for that amount.  When shipping to us, please pack guns well as we note ALL damage on ALL incoming guns.  We will NOT accept C.O.D. packages.

Things we DON’T do:

• Checkering
• Carving
• Magna or Pro Porting on rifles or pistols (We DO port shotguns)
• Putting rifleing in barrels
• Engraving or Scrimshaw

If shipping, please include detailed instructions and a phone number at which we may contact you during and after business hours if there is a problem or we have a question. We CANNOT remember every instruction we receive by phone as we receive MANY guns weekly that are shipped to us.

We wil NOT do “FIX THIS ONLY” type of repair if other safety problems exist. We WILL repair the safery problem as well without notifying
you and will charge for ALL repairs.

When we receive a gun for bluing that is severely pitted, we use our judgment on how deep to buff. Sometimes it is not practical to go to the bottom of the deep pits, and the remains of the pit(s) will be evident.

When we install sights, we guarantee the installation (labor) ONLY.

When doing high polish blues, the best jobs can be expected ONLY if the gun is in good shape to begin with. To make a beat-up, pitted gun look like new with a high polish blue, an extensive amount of added work will be necessary. If you want special results, you MUST advise us in advance and expect added charges on the bill.

The Smith Ranch is situated in West Texas approximately 36 miles Southwest of San Angelo, Texas, and about 200 miles Northwest of San Antonio, Texas. It contains one (1) square mile of semi-desert country with hills, a spring, and has abundant live oak, mesquite and cedar trees for wildlife cover.

The Smith Ranch has been owned and operated for almost 100 years as a cattle operation and is now offering excellent deer, dove and turkey hunts.

An extensive feed program, including a high protein diet, supports the wildlife. The Smith Ranch maintains this feed program from boundary to boundary but leaves the animals completely FREE RANGING with no high fence and no imported breeding stock. The deer and turkey are truly native to the area.

The hunts for the coming season will be conducted on a portion of the ranch which in the years past was reserved for family members only. Deer are fed through automatic feeders year-round. White tail deer hunts are guided hunts, and meals are included.

Once the site has been reserved, your party has exclusive access and use. In addition, if you choose to bring your own hunting dogs, you may do so.

As prices will reflect, there is no fancy lodge or after hour’s entertainment…just great hunting. The hunt is limited to six (6) persons per party for deer or turkey and ten (10) persons per party for dove hunts.

Electrical hookups are available for an extra $10.00 per day per hookup.
