Grizzly Custom Guns - Custom Bolt Rifles, Custom Leverguns, Custom 1911's, Custom Tactical Shotguns

I wanted to take a moment to let you know that my parcel arrived safely Friday afternoon. The complete package is well balanced, functioning of the rifle is smooth and flawless, and the trigger is a dream ! Sights, crown, extended mag tube, bobbed hammer, etc.etc.., everything is excellent. I even managed to get this beast out to do a little break in on Saturday morning, and was very pleased with the results. Got her grouping well with Hornady 350gr. FNSP and IMR3031, with more load work planned in the coming weeks. I thank you for doing what you do, and doing it so well !! A quality product along with excellent customer service. You made it a pleasure doing business with Grizzly Custom Guns.

I meant to get this sent to you sooner, my apologies I have been traveling. But the 1895G rifle is absolutely fantastic! I could not be happier! An amazing job, not only did you have to fix the errors the other gunsmiths did, but you did the work correctly the first time and ahead of schedule. That is hard if not impossible to get in this world today. Your attention to detail is remarkable! You and your shop are first class, in business and in your work. I appreciate your time and patience in answering my questions before the work was started, and since this is the second rifle you have worked on for me, I can't wait to send you another.

I have had an opportunity to fire 100 rounds through the new .44 Magnum Brush Hawg. It is a great gun, accurate, outstanding workmanship and a terrific looking lever gun. I am proud to have it hanging on the wall along with my favorite lever gun, my 45/70 Brush Hawg. I can't wait for you to customize the Marlin 41. I know it will be flat out beautiful and it is already as accurate as the 45/70. Thanks for your workmanship and innovative ideas.

I got the Krag back yesterday and took it out to the range today for a little exercise. I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the rifle. It is a beautiful piece of work and the quality of the workmanship is outstanding. My compliments to Tim on a job very well done.

Just wanted to let you know the Colt New Agent arrived today. Your workmanship is incredible and I could not be happier (Filled in "Trench Sight" and installed Novak 3-dot Tritium sights).

I received the rifle on Friday when I returned from a business trip. Wow! The work you did on it was absolutely fantastic! I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am with the result. As I have stated before, I am saving my money to send you another rifle. Thanks again for such an awesome job on the rifle.

Picked up my new toy (45/70) from my FFL about 2 PM .Went straight home unpacked and cleaned it. Went out in my yard and started annihilating a gallon milk jug from 50 yards out. I started with a hand load for a BFR 45-70 revolver 15.5 gr. of Trail Boss and a 300 gr. Cast Performance bullet (1200 fps). Mild and no kick. Shot groups 1". Next load 31.2 gr. H4198 ,300 gr. Cast performace, 5 shots in 1 1/2" group 1400 FPS mild recoil . Final group was with 55 gr. Varget ,350 gr. Hornady jacketed round nose, 5 shots in 1", 1800 fps moderate recoil. Super Slick action, handy size, and great workmanship. All groups were shot standing and offhand (no rest or bench). To say I am pleased is a complete understatement. I own 10 terrific lever guns, all reworked by top flight gunsmiths and this is number one by a mile. Can't wait for the 1894 44 mag. to ship.

I just wanted to thank you for the outstanding work you guys performed on my stainless Marlin 1895M XLR. I would have e-mailed you as soon as I received the rifle, but I wanted to shoot it first and trying to get to the range has been a pain the last couple of weeks. Anyway, when I opened the gun case, I was in awe of its bead blast finish. I could not believe my eyes. Stripping the parts of their nickel plating and going to the hard chrome finish was the kicker. That definitely makes the difference. The rear sight dovetail fill was also perfect. Basically, everything I requested was fulfilled with attention to detail: crown on the muzzle, ghost ring sights, enlarged lever loop, bobbed hammer, DRC trigger etc... The action is smooth as butter with a clean trigger break at 2-3 lbs. For a 16-1/4" barrel it printed pretty damn good at 50 and 100 yds. (factory Hornady 350 & 325gr bullets).

When I first started my research on customizing my XLR, I had just received my Marlin 1895 Guide Gun from Wild West Guns (in March), mind you I ordered it at the Shot Show in January of 2008. I will admit the Kevlar stock and nitride finish was the hold up. Anyway they did a good job, but I was looking for another custom shop to fulfill my needs. Enter you guys. When I was perusing your web sight and looked at some of the samples of your work, I said to myself, that's what I want my gun to look like and low and behold, you guys did it. I will say that your work was definitely worth the money, and it was completed in a timely fashion!

In the future I will be sending you guys a few other guns to customize. Keep up the great work. Thanks again.

I am pleased to own 2 rifles, 1 shotgun and 1 1911 built by the guys at Grizzly Custom Guns. Each is an example of the highest quality workmanship! I’ve seen examples from other shops with sights and other modifications that just don’t look quite “right” to me. All of the guns that Lew and Tim have built for me are as aesthetically pleasing as they are reliable. Fit and finish are superb! I have a very short list of shops that I’m willing to recommend. Grizzly Custom is on that list. I’ll not hesitate to have them build more guns for me in the future!
