Testimonials
"Lefty Wheeler is an excellent, hard working, exacting kind of gunsmith. I know of his action work on lever action carbines and short rifles is clearly one of the best offered in Cowboy Action Shooting, if not the best. His rifle work allows me to shoot with complete trust."
- Oklahoma Dee
"Lefty has totally rebuilt a '73 rifle for me. Prior to this, I had numerous issues with this particular rifle. Lefty was able to diagnose the issues and present a plan and cost for repair. The rifle works great now. I enjoy working with Lefty because he takes the time to explain exactly what he is doing. He also happily offers tips and tricks on '73 spring adjustments, cleaning, etc. I'm a very happy customer."

"There are obviously a lot of gunsmiths to choose from in this sport. When we got started in the game, we took a lot of advice from a lot of different people and tried a lot of different gunsmiths. We went through a long period of trial and error trying to figure out what would not only suit each of our styles the best, but would also provide us longevity for our money on the work we paid to have done on our guns. The best choice we made in terms of getting our rifles just right was going with our gut instincts and having Lefty work his magic. Since Lefty, our rifles are running great and have really held up to all the wear and tear that this game puts on the guns. What impressed us the most about his work is that he doesn’t try to just do a one size fits all approach with every single gun. Instead he really takes the time to tinker with each gun individually to figure out exactly what fine tuning it needs to run its best. Thanks for all the great work Lefty!"

"Just got my 73' back from Lefty Wheeler of Wheeler Gunworks out of Texas. I'm very impressed. His attention to detail is obvious. Excellent blend of a well tuned action along with reliability. While Lefty suggests the use of Federal or Winchester primers I have found it to be reliable with Fed, Win, S&B and CCI primers! Could not be happier. And no.........I don't get paid by Lefty, I just like giving credit where credit is due and this rifle is no exception."
