Specialty Shops Competition Rifles & Gunsmithing Phone: (800)369-4481 Toll Free / (641)342-2011 From the local area Rick McDowell - Owner Rick posts troubleshooting tips on AR15-L and has a wealth of knowledge. Competition Specialties is primarily a custom competition shop. He hand builds IPSC/USPSA handguns, and also some rifles and shotguns, 10/22's, etc., Anything related to competition shooting turns Rick on. He also has a full machine shop here so Rick can build custom parts and firearms. Rick also manufacture a higher grade of hard cast pistol bullets for shooters and competitors. Rick won Winchester's test so his bullets are included in their little reloading booklet. I have a lot of 1911 parts, some basic AR parts, along with some parts for a few others. Rick can turn barrels down to whatever the customer wants, but is not set up for reparkerizing. If Rick does anything well, it is being able to fix crap. ;-) He can take problem rifles that other 'gunsmiths' have given up on, figure out the problem, and get it fixed. Never met one he couldn't fix. Rick has worked on hundreds of AR's also and seen most of the problems with them. Lou is a 22 year Master Gunsmith and a participating member of this site.
