A view at our gunmakers bench
Our gunsmith workshop is equipped with first-class tools, utilized by master gunmaker Eberhard Klett and his team of highly skilled gunmakers. With years of experience, or trained in-house, they are adept at handling even the most valuable firearms.
Our workshop handles a variety of tasks, including repairs and the creation of custom-made repeating rifles, double-barreled rifles, as well as both boxlock and sidelock shotguns.
We are also recommended dealer and service stations of:

Restocking
In our workshop, we craft custom-made stocks from your preferred wood type, including Caucasian, French, American, Turkish walnut 'Juglans Regia', bright walnut 'Juglans Hindisii', Californian laurel 'Umbellularia Californica', or maple 'Acer Macrophyllum'. We tailor these to your specific measurements and desired shape. These woods are available in various qualities to accommodate any price range at any time.

Gun Fitting
Utilizing a try gun, we can determine your ideal stock measurements and shape your personal shotgun stock accordingly through an oil bath bending process. Additionally, if your measurements are recorded in your shooting pass from a shooting school, we can apply those to the stock as well.
Barrel repairs
This expansive field encompasses the application of black finishing through bluing, browning of Damascus barrels using traditional family recipes, rebarreling of shotgun or rifle barrels, lengthening the chamber—for example, from 65 mm to 7 mm in old shotguns and three-barreled guns—as well as changing the bullet caliber from 6.5 x 57 to .308 Winchester.
Restoring
We can thoroughly overhaul old firearms to closely match their original condition. Additionally, we offer 'London Style' polishing for your gunstocks.
