Pretty nice guys who run the shop.  They have some impressive bolt guns and long range builds in their small showroom.  I have 2 rifles built off their stripped lowers and they both work fine.  I think they're a little proud of their basic carbines but they seem to be built with quality components.  I'd probably pay 6 or 700 for a used one.

They have a full machine shop and are a REAL gunsmith operation, not just AR assemblers.

Thay are my go to guys in town.  Bob and Jim are damn good smiths. Thay excel at high end sniper bolt guns, 1911, and AR's.
Thay have built several ARs for me as a matter of fact, thay are cerakoting and building a AR for me now
Should be ready sat. Upper, lower, buffer tube, and FF tube in burnt bronze and everything else in FDE I cannot wait.

By with confidence!

I have recently had them build me a AR and it is a real nice rifle, 500 rounds through it so far.  great cerakote camo , trigger etc.  It runs very sweet.  I need to post a pic, just havent got around to it.  I want to eventually try on of there 1911 MARSOC clones and a bolt gun from them also.  I think you will be very happy with it.    JD

Their shop isn't too far from me. They have a full machine shop and build up some really nice long range bolt guns.
As some have already said, they don't just twist together AR's. They have a fully equipped machine shop and can do some really nice work.

Some of their Ceracoat jobs are really nice.

Shot one of their .338 Lapua rifles. Damn fine shooting rig.

Not really.  If they're building you a rifle its going to be pretty high dollar and they or you have to source the parts.  They're not really a LGS.

They will have few rifles , They are a custom made to order shop so they don't have alot of rifles on display.  It would be worth the drive to talk to them.  There website is www.predatorcustomshop.com.

Predator is more of a custom gunsmith shop. Thay will have some complete rifles for sale like AR's, some bad ass bolt guns, and some stuff on consignment.

If you need something built or painted or even a trigger job stop by or give them a call thay will take good care of you thay care what the customer has to say and what thay want.

Good people!

I had them cut and thread the barrel, and Duracoat the bolt on my HK91 and they did a fantastic job, they even pulled the charging handle and Duracoated it black for me FOR FREE without me asking them too, just cause it looked a little rough

Can not say enough good stuff about those guys
