A Few Words From the Riflesmith I started machining in high school in 1988, and attended college in Torrington, Wyoming, for welding. Then, I headed to Wahpeton, North Dakota, to learn machine tool technology. I started by rebuilding my own shot-out varmit rigs and other people's that I shot with. I wanted a custom look, so I started fluting my barrels. Several people liked them, so I started my own business - and thus began Twisted Barrel. About My Products Why should I be your next riflesmith? What do I do that others don't or don't offer? I build my rifles to bench rest specifications, flute barrels on a CNC mill, Flute Bolts, and build my muzzle breaks on a CNC. I have tried different muzzle breaks and find that my break produces less repercussion, or displacement of air. The type of fluting I do is different than most people do. I believe that fluting does not affect the accuracy of a rifle. I started tefloning rifles because I liked the finish and needed a different way of finishing chrome molly barrels and other gun parts and in addition it makes action work much smoother. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
