Very few shops across the country know double guns like MGW. We take pride in rebuilding Over/Under and Side-by-Side shotguns. It is a time intensive job that most will not attempt. We re-build both competition and hunting models that have extensive use and round counts. In most cases it is a complete tear down and a process of welding the locking bolt and surface grinding back to the proper dimensions. Refitting the locking bolt and resetting and tightening of the hinge surfaces, timing the ejectors and replacing top lever and mainsprings are all part of the job as well. Typically when finished the firearm will be tight, the top lever in the right hand position and require a break in period too, much like when it was factory new.

MGW fits OEM and aftermarket stocks on almost all models. When fitting a wood stock on a shotgun it is very important to have the recoil only taken up at the center most back of the stock. Inletting the stock so that the contact points around the edges of the receiver are minimal on all shotguns is very important. Even more so with O/U and SXS models. Some stocks can be very expensive and proper fitting can avoid irreversible damage.

MGW is simply the best in the business when it comes to stock and forearm finishing for rifles and shotguns. Known nationwide for some of the best restorations on some of the finest firearms made. With different finish options available MGW can determine what finish best meets the OEM look you want on the stock and forend project you have.

We offer three different styles of finish - A high gloss polyurethane finish, a spray on polyurethane satin finish and a hand rubbed oil finish.

Using proper techniques and tools are key in correct pistol, shotgun, and rifle sight installation. Whether you are installing night sights, suppressor height sights, a new scope, or just replacing OEM sights for a different outline or sight picture. MGW stocks hundreds of firearm sights & scopes and can help with most types of aftermarket and OEM sight installation.

A customized trigger system allows for less creep, a more defined trigger squeeze and a lighter trigger pull. All of which will increase accuracy and ease of use. This is a must have for serious shooters, or for newer shooters looking to up their game. Have us tweak your rifle, pistol, or shotgun with trigger work for an unparalleled addition to performance and operation.

No Matter the reason you are adding or replacing a recoil pad, done properly the new pad will fit clean and flush. The stocks heel and toe will meet the new recoil pad with a tight flush finish where the base of the pad's lines are uninterrupted and the pad will look as an extension of the stock. MGW installs hundreds of recoil pads per year both OEM and aftermarket upgraded recoil pads from manufacturers such as Pachmayr and Kick-Eez.
