The Gun Works

This is the shop that I work in part time. "The Gun Works Muzzle Loading Emporium".

I'm not really into to black powder that much, but it keeps me out of trouble. And I do run across the occaisional walk-in with a nice military gun now and then. We do buy and sell some "modern" cartridge guns. Joe calls them "Suppository Loaders".

They are one of 2 or 3 of the largest black powder specialty shops in the country. The majority of the business is on-line and mail order. We ship supplies and muzzle loading guns all over the world.

"Possibles Bags" hand made from Buffalo , Moose and Elk hide.

Some custom built rifles. Price range on these is from $2000 up to $5 or $6000. Sometimes higher on an exceptional piece or an original.

Top row are all original pistols dating from the late 1700s to early 1800s. Middle are used repoductions. Bottom are custom built and originals.

Possibly the world's largest Swiss Army knife. Hand made by Master machinist and gun builder Al Ostermann of Junction City, OR. More custom built rifles, and originals in the back ground.

The far wall has mostly original German Schutzen cartridge rifles, original muzzle loaders, Trapdoors, etc. Original and repro ML shotguns to the left, with a few old Winchesters and double rifles.

I thought that some may find "Joe's Museum" interesting.
