custom rifle maker
looking for info on a guy a friend had talked to a few years back. we cannot remember his name, except he makes custom rifles, bolt action and double rifles, and he is from north or south carolina. was hoping someone on here might have a possible lead. thanks!

Is there any chance that you are thinking of Ken

Owen, whose rifles are marked MK Owen, of

Moscow Tenn, which is very near to Nashville?

He's NOT an internet guy at all, NO web site.

901-877-6853 is his contact number. He spec-

ializes in 577NE and 600NE doubles as far as

his rifle making work goes. He has made some 4

bore double rifles too.

Jack,

Just in case you go looking for him Moscow is a lot closer to Memphis than Nashville, just down the road from Grand Junction, serious bird dog country.

Michael is a great gunsmith, I don't believe he is into making DR's but does wonderful work on anything you give him to work on, especially stock work.
