Change in Procedure
In years past I would accept all projects into the shop once a scope of work and price were established.
Starting January 1, 2026, I will begin discussing new projects with prospective customers. Once we settle on the scope of work and price, I will require a 50 percent deposit, payable via cash, personal check, certified check, wire transfer, etc. I will not accept credit cards for the deposits. I would also ask that the rifle NOT be shipped until I contact you and request it. If I am sent rifles I am not expecting, I will simply refuse them. This will benefit both of us. I will not be required to have insurance coverage on literally hundreds of customer rifles, and you will be able to enjoy your toys in the meantime!
Once I request that the rifle be sent in for work, I will ask for the balance of the agreed upon price to included as well. This will keep me from chasing money once the project is completed. Remember, I am a one man shop. The only thing I have to sell is my time and expertise.
At the completion of the project, if there is a small amount due to Grizzly, or to be refunded to the customer, we can work that out quickly with a credit card if need be.
If you are interested in having this package built on your Marlin, please call the shop or send me a note from the contact form below. Unfortunately, there is no way to simply click & buy, sorry. That is the whole one man shop thing again!
Thank you for your understanding.
Testimonials
Lew,
It took more than a month to get out and shoot my new Brush Hawg. I can only say that my expectations were exceeded and it was worth the wait and expense. I am the envy of all my shooting friends.
Great rifle which shoots as good as it looks. Great job!
Thanks,
RS
