It has been such a pleasure dealing with you!  When Warren Watson of Warren Watson School of Shotgunning recommended that I use you for my shotgun fitting ( because you are one of the best gun fitters he has used over the years) I didn’t doubt his word!  So I took my new Browning White Lightning to you at Centennial Gun Club.  You spent time with me, explaining exactly what you you would do to my gun.  You were also able to simulate how the new fit would feel, by using temporary materials on the stock so I could mount it.  You gave me a reasonable completion date as well.

I have had many compliments on your work since that first meeting.  I was so please, that I returned a month later with my Browning XT!  You had kept files on my first gun, so you were able to duplicate the stock work on my 12 gauge.

Many, many thanks for your expertise and service.  I am certain that Centennial Gun Club feels fortunate to have you there with them.

I have asked Bart and his team to replace the factory sights on a Springfield Armory XD(m) and two XD40 SCs with Trijicon HD sights. As defense pistols, I had wanted night sights with a wider rear notch and high visibility front post with an orange dot. The team completed the job swiftly and, in my range test today, the sights were spot on for windage and elevation. Now Bart has done a variety of superb gunsmithing jobs for me over the last several years; I am completely satisfied with his latest work.

I have taken a number of different firearms into to Bart and have received excellent advice, recommendations, and always superb workmanship by him and his team. He has replaced sights, glass-bedded three rifle actions for me, inspected service rifles and kept me successfully shooting across a range of disciplines for more than five years. Legacy Gunsmithing is my “Go-To” first stop for any firearms questions and I trust them completely. A hearty thanks and well-done for this recent job…it will certainly not be the last!

Just a quick note to say how pleased I am with Master Gunsmith Bart Miller’s work on my Auto Ordnance m1 carbine.

What was wrong with it? Nothing. Except it looked brand new, right out of the box, which it was. I am a WWII reenactor and I wanted a rifle that looks like it’s “been there”. That’s where Bart came in. I’m not sure how he did it, but now it looks exactly like an original paratrooper carbine that I own. Outstanding! Now I will be using that carbine for parades, living history and static displays.

It’s one thing to be adept at repairing a firearm, which is smack dab in the middle of Bart’s wheelhouse. But it’s quite another thing to have the ability, talent and desire make a gun look authentic, like in my case.

What Bart has the ability to do is artistic, (he probably could make a handsome living in Hollywood), and Centennial Gun Club is extremely fortunate to have Mr. Miller on staff.

To borrow a line from The Terminator, “I’ll be back.”

Have been a customer of Legacy Gunsmithing for a few years and trust them completely with my firearms. Among other things, Bart and his team restored a cherished Browning Hi Power to magnificence.

More recently, I asked Bart to fit a barrel to my Rizzini/Sigarms Aurora shotgun. The gun is several years old and the replacement barrel was different enough to require significant fitting.

Bart did an amazing job. It locks up tight as a bank vault and ejects shells in a parallel arc. His work and attention to detail are both second to none. Fitting shotgun barrels seems to be a declining commodity, but Bart knows his craft.

I completely recommend Bart Miller and Legacy Gunsmithing for all types of repairs and projects, but particularly for those heirloom guns you want to be perfect.

The term “elan” from the French language describes a property of elegant “vigorous spirit”, and the related English term “elance” describes a thrusting or hurling. Such terms well describe the recent 1911 build done by Bart and his staff at Legacy Gunsmithing, straight through the initial process of composition to the final product. Bart and his staff were straightforward in practical suggestions and with a vigorous hands-on build from scratch components, this sharpness of attention to detail resulted in the elegant behavior and fine function of the 1911 firearm.

Tactical components and a Damascus slide were solidified and tuned together over time with the final result represented as a functional tack driver with its own inherent spirit and balanced beauty. It is an exceptional end product from an exceptional staff.

So far my experience with Centennial Gun Club has been superb!! Looking forward to shedding off some rust and improving skills. I want to keep advancing thru your courses.

I took my Browning Citori in to Legacy for some work. The weapon was a present from my Dad when I graduated from college, so has a bit of sentimental value over and above the fact that it shoots really well. Turns out that over the last almost 40 years I wore out some bits on the action. Picked up my Citori this afternoon, and Bart not only took care of that issue, but tightened up other parts of the action/fit as well. It feels as tight and smooth as the day I got it.

Hat’s off to Bart and his staff!
I now know where all of my weapons go if they need work.

I have used four Gunsmith’s over the past 40+ years, in three different locations in the U.S. Bart Miller is the best Gunsmith I have ever relied upon. Specifically, the quality of work, quick turn around time, superb skills and customer service, and reasonable costs, allow me to say Legacy Gun Smith is the best. We are fortunate to have Bart and his team at Centennial Gun Club. Most recently, I took a completely locked up pistol with a round in the chamber to Bart for advise, because I was certain I needed to return this new pistol to the manufacturer. Bart calmly took the pistol, and in about 10 minutes, presented me with a defective bullet, and thus a perfectly functioning pistol…free of charge. I have used Bart and his team for multiple upgrades and am totally satisfied with their level of perfection.

Thank you for taking such good care of me and my Remington 11-87!  It is really nice to find a trustworthy gunsmith who is extremely knowledgeable about my firearms.  You immediately saw the missing O-ring [okay – it may have taken you 10 seconds . . . . ], diagnosed and fixed the problem, test-fired the gun, and returned it to me with a smile and a statement of “no charge”.  The gun has fired flawlessly since.  Thank you.  I will be back!

Thank you for the great service today.  The 1 on 1 with your gunsmith was really valuable and Kyle McIntosh is nothing short of fantastic.  His customer service ethic, patience, skill and genuine caring about my needs really made a huge difference for me.  As a Vietnam veteran with disabilities I have challenges that he helped guide me through and I really appreciated it more then you know.  I am not an easy customer to please, and I am a very satisfied customer.   I will gladly tell any of your members and non-members to take advantage of this great new service. 

I came into the Centennial Gun Club to see what they had for used handguns. This lead me to find a robust selection of used handguns and my purchasing one. I was torn between a standard Springfield XDS 9mm and a Mod 2 XDS 9mm with a Sig RomeoZero micro reflex sight. I decided on the standard XDS and took it home.

After a couple hours I started deciding that I wanted the Mod 2 with the reflex sight and decided I would return the next day and inquire about exchanging. Unsure what the staff would say, I entered and spoke to the Director of Gunsmithing and Used Guns, Bart Miller. He didn’t even think twice. He looked over the returning pistol and said okay, lets do it. WOW. I did not expect it to go that smooth.

He said they pride themselves in customer service and satisfaction and then proved it to me. On top of that, he even found a magazine in the back so I could walk out the door with two mags! Again, above and beyond! Thank you very much Bart. I will absolutely be back for more guns, ammo, range time and of course a membership with your store.

Thanks again for your help. I look forward to seeing you again and possibly working with you.

I wanted to thank you again for the fine work you did on my .375 H&H Magnum rifle. As the target below shows, this is a terrifically accurate and functional rifle. It will be with me in December when I hope to fill my Elk tag, using the same factory Federal Premium with 260 grain AccuBonds with which I sighted the rifle in. The group was shot from the bench at 100 yards.

This rifle began as a factory stock Remington 700 XCR II. I chose to replace the factory stock with a Bell & Carlson Medalist Sporter stock in Weatherby configuration, glass bed the barreled action into the bedding block, replace the X-Pro trigger with a Timney 510 trigger set to 3.5 lbs, and add optics. You did these modifications and suggested that I mount my scope with Leupold QR quick release bases and rings that you installed. I could not be more delighted with your work, advice, turnaround time and price. This is my go-to Elk rifle and will accompany me to Alaska when I go to fish and hunt. This is the third and latest rifle you’ve assembled and tuned for me and each shoots as well as this one…it will not be the last.

Thanks again for your craftsmanship, advice and help. It continues to be a pleasure to work with you.

My employees needed a break from work today. It has been one of those weeks. So i told them we would go shooting. I saw that you had a gunsmith shop onsite and since i had never been to the CGC it helped the decision of where to go. The shooting was great. We have Nothing but positive comments to make.

However my experience with the gunsmiths was impressive. The first gunsmith saw me lingering and came out to ask if he could help with anything He knew exactly the rifle I was talking about without even seeing it. He knew the history and design of the scope mount He told me to bring it on in and they would look. He brought jacy out and I explained the issue with the 1903 my father put together and sporterized when i was quite young. This is the first year my youngest son will have the chance to hunt big game with me so I want him to use this gun that was made to create a strong family bond and a legacy of love for the outdoors. Jacy took it back and went over it quickly and when he came back out with it he had some good info and tips. My gunsmith TJ retired so I have been hesitant about handing over a rifle that is so important to me but your crew seems so professional and knowledgeable that I will have no hesitation.

I’m writing to offer some feedback on a .308 to 6.5 Creedmoor conversion and accurizing Mike had completed for me in March. Unfortunately due to other obligations I was unable to do any load development until the beginning of August. Now that I’ve had the opportunity to explore the capabilities of the new rifle I find it difficult to not to share with you how I feel about Mike’s work.
Yesterday I took the rifle out for its intended purpose, a Bicycle 5 x 5 (2.5” x 3.5” Target / 5 String / 500 yards). The card reflects two 5 strings shot independently 20 mins apart in varied wind conditions approximated from 10 to 20 mph. You can see 7 of 10 hit with 2 groups of 3 and once on target the rifle printed approximately 1” groups both times at 500 yards. This level of precision is proving to be consistent.
Mike’s build is easily the most consistent rifle I’ve owned or shot. There’s a good deal of work that goes into that level of precision beyond the build, however the gunsmith is who makes that level possible to begin with. From an OEM Remington 700 .308 Mike produced what I confidently consider a .25 MOA rifle, but it’s not just the workmanship worth noting. It’s important to point out Mike’s attentiveness, professionalism, and counsel was appreciated and a vital part of the process.
My thanks to Mike, and Legacy. I look forward to the next one.

If you are looking for a gunsmith that you can trust look no further. I have a Savage 30.06 that I have had to other gunsmiths and never got nothing but B.S. and a bill, Until I was told to bring it to Legacy.

They helped me solve a long time misfiring issue that turned out to be a savage Firing spring. These men at Legacy helped me resolve this issue professionally and timely due to my upcoming hunt. They took responsibility for the issue after looking at the gun once and stood by their commitment to service till my gun was fixed and I can assure you it was not an easy fix as it took several times of trying on their part till they figured out the issue and called Savage and got me the replacement parts. Then let me test fire it there to make sure we finally fixed my long time issue.

And wouldn’t you know it less than a week later I was on my on my hunt and had a bull Elk walk out in front of me @ 243 yards and It was a one shot one kill scenario, My First Bull Elk EVER! Thank you Legacy and Thank you Bart for helping me have a reliable and dependable gun for what turned out to be my most unforgettable hunting experience yet. You are a master of your craft and I will never let anyone touch my firearms but you and your Staff.

Your grateful customer,

Your man Jacy got my M17 rear sight fixed in no time! I cannot say enough about what a warm and expert guy he is. So glad to have this level of expertise available to us as members of CGC!
