A certified gunsmith with over 30 years of machining experience, Fred Carper got his start in CNC machining.
Using several CNC lathes, machining centers and a water jet, his company manufactured components for industries such as medical and healthcare, electronics, defense contractors, and many others. He gained an in-depth knowledge of manufacturing processes, heat treating, metallurgy, machining, and material finishing.
His machining skills now give him the edge in custom gunsmithing. He graduated from the Pennsylvania Gunsmith School and now specializes in building highly accurate rifles used for hunters, target-shooters, and collectors.

We at The Shooting Academy use Fred to keep our range guns in good shape. We throw just under 2 million targets a year and 85% of our guests will use our range guns. Thanks to Fred we are able to keep up with the demand.

I became aware of Carper Custom Gunsmith from other shooters who provided positive feedback on his gunsmith work. I've since used his services to build 3 custom rifles, repair rifles, and work on triggers, all with great results. The benchrest rifles have proved to be highly accurate and reliable in competition.
