Aaron LittleThings to come
Hello double gun enthusiast, I first wanted to thank everyone who has followed my work and supported it. The first three years in business have been great for me. I've met and had dealings with many great people from here and other places whom I now consider personal friends. I love what I do and am thankful I am allowed to do so. In this short timeframe I've also made big life steps; from getting married, jumping on an opportunity to buy our property, and of course run a business. There's no way I could have achieved this without the support of you and my family. Looking back I'm in disbelief of everything that has happened in my life during this short time, I consider myself very lucky.
My typical work up to this point has been things like conversions, shotgun sleeving, finishing, regulation, stock making, complex gunsmithing work, etc...My intentions from the beginning have been to be a manufacturer of my own guns, one that is focused on double guns and single shots of absolute quality.
This time came much faster than I had anticipated, alas its here and Ive finally been able to begin the road in that direction. I have a fair amount of projects I need to get out the door while I also begin a few recent from-scratch commissions. It will be a delicate balance to achieve this, and at this point I'm going to have to close my books from taking in new work that isn't inline with that direction. That's not to say this will be indefinite, just at this time its a necessary step.
I am very excited to see what the future brings, and I cant wait to show everyone what I have going on here at A.M. Little Bespoke Gunmakers.
All the Best,
Aaron Little

Colin Masterslet me be the first to say congrats, and good luck. I can't wait to see your actions, and I hope to own one of your bespoke weapons one day. My only concern is that your popularity will outpace my finances.
Keep it up. Us young guns have to keep the English tradition alive.

crsheltonCongratulations Aaron,
Does this mean you will be too busy to go shoot hogs with us?
Wish you the best in this new venture and look forward to your finished product.

Aaron LittleJudging from the recent destruction on my place I'll be able to set up on some hogs from my shop window! I may have to invite AR out for a shoot!

Congratulations Aaron ! !
The 600NE and 700NE Double projects that you built for me will forever attest to your talents. I'm proud to own them.
I guess I shouldn't have waited so long for my next conversion project.
All the Best

218 BeeTo folks that haven't met or had dealings with Aaron Little: you've missed a genuine pleasure and I suggest that you remedy that situation as quickly as possible!
Aaron is a young man, but he's the real deal...talented, honest and hard working. I've got one of his double rifle conversions on the rack (a dainty little .30-30 WCF) and he's got a '70s vintage Brno ZKK-601 that he's stocking into a mini-express rifle for me. I'm afraid he'll have to build me a proper single shot before too awful long!
Go get 'em, lad! I'm looking forward to seeing what your final designs look like!

crsheltonAaron,
How about a double rifle hog hunt at your place?
And maybe we could allow anyone with a gun that you have made or worked on attend too.

buckstixDo you need to borrow a rifle? Or should I come down and take care of the problem for you?

HuviusI applaud your decision to become a full on gunmaker - particularly since part will be the manufacture of single shots!
Any teasers you can let out on that front?

I simply love your work, and like the above comment, I too waited too long for several different reasons that were beyond my power to solve, I waited too long for the regulation of my Winchester O/U 9.3X74R and a conversion of a Pedersoli double chambered for 458 RCBS to be converted with lighter barrels chambered for 450-400 3". TOO BAD, my loss!
However, congratulations on your new business goal to build your own brand! I wish you every success! Your work is certainly bespoke and will be a fine addition to the double rifle world for years to come!
Your friend Mac!

I don't think he will be making that .450 NE you displayed since I happen to own the rifle and I took those photographs.
