Abilene Gun Works

Just an FYI, we will be closed Thursday and Friday for the Fourth of July and to get some much needed uninterrupted work done. We will reopen on Tuesday.
Thanks, and have a great holiday!

Hey guys, it's been awhile, so I just wanted to touch base.
First off, the card that was used for payment to GoDaddy for our website was compromised and they shut down our website. I'm working on building a new one and hope to have it up possibly this weekend.

Secondly, we are now dealers for Fabarm shotguns, and the first shipment is on the way!
For those unfamiliar with the brand, they're Italian-made guns and the parent company is Ceasar Guerini. These are also the preferred shotguns of world-famous trick shooter, Travis Mears!

In other news, we're also fixing to be dealers for Decibullz hearing protection and several other products. We will be adding a list of all of our vendors when the website is up and running.

We have all of the parts you need to build that new AR you're wanting, along with parts for many shotguns, pistols, and rifles, and as always, we can do any gunsmithing that you need, often within days.

Thanks,
Tim

FBI offers reward for information about deadly southern New Mexico wildfires Federal authorities are offering a reward for information about those responsible for igniting a pair of New Mexico wildfires.

Hey guys, we are closing at 5:00 PM for the Back The Badge clay shoot and will return Tuesday.
Hope ya'll have a great weekend!

Hey guys, just want to let everyone know that we will be closed for Good Friday.
We hope you all have a very blessed, safe holiday, and we will see you all Tuesday.

Well guys, due to several things going on unexpectedly, we're going to have a slight change of plans.
We will be closed all this week while we do inventory and deal with several things including a memorial for a close friend on Friday.
Thanks, and God bless,
Tim

Hey guys, we are going to be closing a little early today and will be closed next Tuesday as well.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Be safe and enjoy!

Hey guys, I want to give a huge shout out to our buddy, Lon Davis for sending us pizzas for lunch yesterday when we were both shorthanded and really slammed!
We honestly have the best customers anywhere.
Lon, thank you, my friend!

We also took in a really nice Para Expert that's been converted with a Clark .460 Rowland barrel.

Hey guys, I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but my website seems to have disappeared.
I'm working on getting it back online, but I'm going to have to talk to godaddy and get it straightened out.
Thanks.
Tim

Just a heads up, we will be closing a little early on Wednesday, and will be closed until next Tuesday.
You guys have a great holiday!

A few more:

Hey guys, I haven't posted in awhile so I thought I'd throw up a few pics of our current inventory. Unfortunately I can't respond with prices due to our workload and being shorthanded, so if you see something you're interested in, come see us at 802 Hickory St!

Hey guys, I hate to say it, but we are not accepting any more work at this time.
We are so backed up that we don't have room to put any more guns in the safe until we clear some out.

Gonna be a long day. Got a shot in my hand for arthritis yesterday and didn't think about it being a steroid until the headache started last night. It went away, but afterwards I was awake all night. Finally went to sleep around 5 AM and woke up wide awake when I heard my grandson getting ready for work at 6 AM.

Got some exciting news, guys!
We're about to enter into dealership status with two very different shotgun manufacturers that will cover a very wide range of needs and price points.
More news will follow as things progress!

I'd like to thank all of the folks involved in putting on the 25th Annual Texas Trails Council Sporting Clays Classic.
We sponsor and shoot several clay shoots every year, and this was by far the funnest, most scenic shoot ever.
We will be back!

Hey guys, just a heads up, we will be closing at 5:00 today.
Thanks,
Tim

Forgot to mention, we've got plenty of ammo in stock and just got more in today!

Hey guys, just a heads up, we've got some really nice shotguns in that came from a friend's personal collection. All are min. 95% or better.
Prices vary, so please call or come by if interested.
FWIW, these are just the ones we have in the shop, there are six others that are just as nice and some come with ammo.

Hey y'all, we're closing at 3pm Friday, September 8th. Have a great weekend!

For those of ya'll that don't know, I'm most likely going to be out the rest of the week due to some sort of virus.

Hey guys, just a heads up. If you're waiting on anything really short, ie: under 14" or so to be threaded or crowned, it's going to be awhile, as I'm waiting on a new four jaw lathe chuck to arrive.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but we want your barrel to be 100% perfect when it leaves our shop.
Thanks,
Tim

Hey guys, we're going to close a little early tonight (5:30) to go shoot the Thursday Fight Night at the Abilene Sporting Clays range.
Sorry for any inconvenience and we hope to see you there!

OK guys, we're going to either be opening late or possibly not at all while we clean up damage from the storm.
Hope you all made it through it without any damage.

Hey guys, just a heads up. Our buddy Alex got a call today that his mother had a stroke. We don't have any info other than that, but I'm sure that any and all prayers are welcome.
That said, we're obviously going to be short handed for a bit, so please bear with us until we get back on track.
God bless,
Tim

Fixing to go round and round with UPS! I really want to beat the stoopid out of someone right now! 😡😡😡

After this pics of that botched threading job that I ended up fixing, I thought I'd post a few pics of how one should look.

Prime example of letting your buddy thread your barrel to save money. Only way to save this one is to cut off the "threaded" section, square it up, re-crown, turn it down, and thread it correctly.
These "threads" will just barely hold a brake and would most likely strip if it was tightened, while a suppressor would be totally out of the question.

Ha!
