New member, Hello from JGS Precision Tool Mfg.

JGSFAB · Apr 30, 2023

Hello, my name is Lance and as of this year I've been promoted to one of the owners of JGS Precision Tool Mfg.
No, I'm not here to "pimp my wares" just an enthusiast look for similar minded folks in the NW seeing as we all deal with the terrible NW overloads.
I've lived my life in the firearms industry. I've dealt with the HIGHs and LOWs, gone to the SHOT Show before I could "own" a gun, performed necessary varmint control in eastern oregon and as I said manage JGS Precision Tool Mfg.
Here lately I've been on a quest to rebuild my inherited rifle horde into more modern furniture and calibers. Thankfully I inherited CNC machines, a kick butt chambering lathe, etc.
I' a pretty decent 3D modeler and designer with decades in CAD/CAM as well. In a previous life I designed many basic CNC machines, plasma tables, tubing cutters, etc. Still have a fab/sheetmetal shop with a 160T 12ft press brake, 20ft powdercoat oven, etc. I will admit I'm a novice gunsmith but I'm enjoying learning more little by little. I enjoy handloading as well, the family component horde is pretty deep.

PS If you need your reamer faster I can't help you but I'm spending my days to get it to you fast

This is awesome!! JGS is regarded as one of the premier reamer makers in the US, among other accolades. I've been told that Bill Wylde said many years ago that JGS has the original version of the Wylde chamber print.

We see them all before we can even talk about them.
