LOOKS GOOD. SO IT WILL MAKE THE SHOP LOOK LIKE A SIDEWAYS T? will the 2 buildings become one..(sorry spice girl song interruption) or will it be 2 seprate shops? Ronald Edit email me so i can get a idea of how much cable we will need to run if were going wire that thing for network. also might be a good idea to do a floor plan and placement of machines and stuff before hard walls. |

Congrats on the success! I may have to buy an upper in the future (seeing as how I want a suppressed AR (I am moving to Indiana) and to put an eotech or something on it, I don't think my SP1 upper will work). I'll wait to get a CMMG lower until you are at serial number 7684 (my birthday) :D |
(year and a half ago) you guys looked like you were busting at the seams. Good to see you guys are doing well.
| Looking good. I honestly thought that you guys had a another location considering the amount of business you guys must do. I guess you guys are past due for the addition. I'm guessing that this addition will be for production work, not for a show room. Congratulations on the growth. |
Got you beat Karl. I knew them when they ran a printing business and had one table at a gunshow with five AR uppers and a "Army of Darkness" toy sitting on it. Its amazing how fast they've grown in the past five years. But IMHO they've earned every bit of it. |

John and Jeff, Boy that didn't take long at all. Got to come out one day this summer and see first hand what everyone is talking (raving) about. Dukem: And one day some of us will remember this P.D. that fell asleep behind the wheel. Got himself a few scratches, but it changed his life and now he is some big wig for a small arms manufactoring joint. There was a time back in the early 1900s when the majority of the small arm plants were on the east coast. Looks like the tide is changing and now it is in the mid-west. I have yet to meet you in person (one day) so I do not know where you are going with your life. But I do hope that your gunsmithing business treats you well. I can see you have a passion for shooting, so I hope you can make a living with your shop. |
+1 flashback to 2001, I just got started in service rifle competition and in need of a number of 20-rounds mags. Met John and his wife, Jeff, and their Dad at Midway gunshow with one table and a few AR uppers. They were just as friendly back then as they are now. Their excellence in customer service was showing long before people know them as a business. I bought all 20-rd AR mags they had at the time. Went home and found out 1 mag did not work ... it could not keep rounds in anymore .... the following day I went back looking to exchange the mag, they had none left, so John just gave my money back saying that they may have more in the future. Then I spent more than half an hour talking to their Dad. As a Marine, he put a high regard on rifle marksmanship skill and we talked about service rifle match etc. Later, I went with Allan, my friend and coach in service rifle, to CMMG printing shop to buy some 20-rd mags. So I agree with Duke, CMMG has earned every bit of it .... |
Thanks guys. I remember Oz all those years ago; I think that was our first gunshow return.  I remember Duke at that 1st show with his Russian NV weaponscope.It is kind of neat to think of the Midwest based firearms related businesses that there are now. Jeff Forgot to add: Oz and Mike, you 2 have come a very long way in that same time too. |
| Oh yeah, now I remember! I had that Gen 1 scope on top of the carry handle of an Oly Arms postban at the time. It had the super-heavy barrel, that big phallic Oly muzzle brake, and a clamp-on Beamshot laser. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, LOL... man there's alot of water under the bridge since then. |
