According to industry veteran Ron Petty, who is the new CEO of Montana Rifle Company, the acquisition was completed in July 2018 and new changes were immediately implemented to rejuvenate the facility and increase production capability.
Petty said, “We are extremely excited to acquire this prestigious company and already we are seeing sales and production on the rise.”
According to Petty, new machinery, including several state-of-the-art CNC machines, and several new key personnel have made a very positive impact on production and new products. Montana Rifle Company’s selection of custom rifles includes models in both right- and left-hand actions, and a complete range of calibers in both chromoly blue and stainless barrels, as well as wood and synthetic stocks.
“With the acquisition, machinery and key personnel in place, we have established the Montana Custom Barrel Division and are actively producing barrel blanks for key industry partners,” Petty said.
About Montana Rifle Company

The action combines features of both the M70 Winchester’s three-position safety and fully adjustable trigger with the Mauser controlled feed extractor. The action is a preferred choice of many custom gunsmiths and is available as an “action only” in short, long and PH configuration for calibers .222 through the 505 Gibbs. Barreled actions are also available in more than 70 calibers.
