Accuracy
 
    Slide to Frame Fitting
Strayer Voigt frames and slides lend themselves to superior results; however, Springfield Armory, Kimber, and Caspian frames are also good bases for custom guns.  Near zero vertical and horizontal movement is achieved through aerospace grade tolerances.  A .0015 inch tolerance is allowed for hard chrome applied by an aerospace certified plater.  After this application, tolerances are generally at .0005 inch.  This translates to virtually a perfect fit with the end result a smooth, piston-like feel. 
    Barrel Fitting
 
Bushing or Bull barrels, known by many top shooters for accuracy and reliability, are installed with a vault-like tightness,  Head space is set minimum specifications, and  chambers are reamed specific to the bore diameter of the cartridge.   Feed ramps are cut and polished to a near mirror finish to improve reliability.   All barrels are re-crowned to  match grade specifications. 
 
    Other Related Work
 
Quality triggers jobs customized to the specifications of the competitive shooter or self-defense customer; glass rod break or a light roll off.  Quality fitting and finish of  all parts to improve the gun's performance are also factored in..  Additionally, all sharp edges are beveled or radiused to benefit the shooter's comfort.  Checkering and serrations can be added or adjusted to the customer's preferences.  Mag wells are fit and funneled seamlessly to improve fast, reliable reloads during a match, in duty use, or in a self-defense situation  High capacity magazines can be tuned for reliability to feed correctly each and every time (with the proper length ammunition).

    Sights

For Open Guns, the world leader, Aimpoint Comp is the recommended optical sight.  Aimpoint's reliability and lack of parallax make it the leader in electronic red dot sights. 

For Limited  Guns, duty guns and/or self-defense handguns, Bomar, Novak, Heinie rear sights are world renowned for their durability and are recommended by Don  Golembieski.    Dovetailed front sights are generally the norm with plain, ramped, fiber optic and tritium inserts.

    Test Firing

All rifles are test fired with VihtaVuori powders and if applicable Lapua components.
