Michael Merker Riflemakers

"Not many real gunsmiths of the quality and integrity of Michael Merket Riflemarkers still around. I was fortunate to find him in Hendersonville and both work out a deal to sell him some of my WWII rifles and have him tune up a couple of other rifles including a Mauser, Winchester and Alpine. If you want quality I highly recommend them."

"Amazing place, they always have the coolest guns, current and historic. My dad has always gone to him for all his gun needs(Now myself) Micheal and Justin are like family to me and they’ve taught me how to teach people right. Highly recommend them. Great family"

"my name is joel bagwell. michael is one of the finest men that i have ever met, hes a godly christian man and is honest as the day is long. michael is building me a winchester model 70 post 64 375 h&h safari express. hes the most knowledgeable gunsmith that ive ever seen. i talked to many gunsmith before settling on michael. i went up and talked with him before getting started on my gun. i was so impressed with him that i turned the job over to him that day. he does amazing work and you can see the quality in everything he does. he cares about his customers more than he does the money. most gunsmiths cant say that. if you love guns you need to go up and check out his shop. its filled with awsome guns. i could live in his shop. michael has some great prices on his rifles. a trip worth taking and plan on spending some quality time with him. i cant say anything but good about michael merker, a godley man and my brother in christ."

"Overall not too bad with very timely service. I dropped two rifles off for trigger work on Tuesday and they were done that Friday. I did order 3 pound pull but got 3.25 pound pull on each. Cost for both rifles was 266.00 which was significantly higher than what I have paid for in the past so don’t be caught off guard by that like I was. Nice enough guys though."

"Took my pistol there to have them give it a good going over to make sure it was operating ok. The cylinder was rough and sticking in one spot and when I got it back it was still doing the same thing and also I asked them to polish up the stainless steel and I am sure they did not do that. Only thing he done to the pistol was put new grips on it which I asked him also to do. After I got home and used some good polish a shined it up like a new one. He charged me $200 for what he did or lack there of. I will not ever take another thing back to him."
