While Bob Shaw does all types of gunsmithing for black powder action and cartridge firearms as is reflected in his gunsmithing price list, his real specialty is action jobs for single action firearms.

     Read what some of Bob's cowboy action shooting customers have said about his action jobs:

"We've shot competition from Australia to California and Bob's workmanship has made contests much easier for both of us. The smoothness of the actions makes so much difference."

Mister Skye and Lonesome Dove
 Sydney, Australia

"Being a relatively new cowboy shooter, I appreciate the great skill and care Bob Shaw invested in my '66 Yellowboy and Hartford pistols. Though I am far from a champion, Bob gave my guns action work fit for a champion."
