Thread: HGPRECISION. Cnc gunsmithing and services

Hi all.
I've recently quit my job as a full time machinist to start up my own business. Bad time to start up but here it goes.

I think a lot of the products we import for firearms could be made in NZ. We, as a country, produce some cutting edge products and there's no reason it can't be the same in the firearm industry

I currently make the Elude chassis for Howa Minis and rails for Tikka, Howa and Remington. I'm adapting the Elude Chassis for the Kimber 84M action. I make bottom metal for the Howa Mini, which stop the issue of the mag getting dropped because of the factory mag release being proud. I have plans to add other bottom metal including some flush mag designed for the Howa Mini.
I do bolt fluting and handle threading for all bolts, Howa included, Tikka action "sheep ports" and could do most other services

I'm also interested in doing projects for people, firearm and non- firearm related. If you have a part you want made in bulk or something you want to develop hit me up.
My shop is small and overheads are low so I'm reasonably economic.


I am based in Timaru but can ship parts.
I currently make parts for a few local firearm related companies but hope to grow that.
My website is up, but i've just started so it needs lots of tweeking.

Excellent! Besy of luck Rob

Nice one, will remember this if I need any work done.

From what I've seen of your work, it's top notch machining.

Very interested in the kimber chassis when they are ready to go man

Good Luck, hope it works out for you.

Well done Rob. It's great to have a specific market that you're passionate about to focus on, I always enjoyed helping mates doing their homers but never to the stage of making a biz out of it. What machines are you using ?

Hi Rob Best of luck Very Happy with your work on the two Eludes i have Cheers

Don't suppose metal Tikka T1x magazines are on your list of things to start producing?
The world is crying out for reliable magazines for otherwise excellent rifles.

There are a few options available. I hadn't looked at it but entirely possible. Judt have to make sure I don't spread myself out too thin...be good to have a few base products selling to help pay for more R&D. Being a 1 man gig R&D can be a tough gig

For you I guess the key is focusing on popular models (more potential for sales), thinking bits for 10/22s and maybe rails for older 303's spring to mind.

Cheers
