john and don getz have been making rifle barrels full time since 1977. they have been primarily responsible for bringing traditional swamped rifle barrels to the "mainstream". custom barrels have long been their "forte" and their barrels have been showcased on many of the finest contemporary longrifles produced during this thirty year era. you can find their handywork on many lonrifles made by such artisans as John Bivins, Judson Brennan, Monte Mandarino, Mark Silver, Jack Haugh,Frank and Hershel House, Jack Brooks, Allen Martin, Mark Wheland, Dave Dodds,Gary Brumfield, John Laubach, Chuck Edwards, and many others. they are constantly striving to bring the most historically and functionally accurate muzzleloading rifle barrels available. we shall continue the journey for hopefully 30 more years!
