Powers Metal Works
Website
Powers Metal Works, LLC, owned and operated full time by John L. Powers. I have over 38 years of experience in refinishing fine firearms and gunsmithing specializes in manufacturing the highest quality ultra-precision long range hunting rifles. My shop is located in Duson Louisiana, right outside of Lafayette.

I am a holder of a Class 7, manufacturing Federal Firearms License. I was a Browning, Remington and Winchester warranted Gunsmith. My experience stems from years of gun repairs, firearm restoration, trigger/action jobs, custom firearm work, barrel chambering, action blueprinting, barrel threading for adapters/muzzle brakes, recoil pad installation, and TIG welding.
Services
For over 38 years I have restored and brought back to life many firearms, including pistols, shotguns, and rifles. Over the past several years, living in a hurricane and flood environment, I have restored many damaged firearms. Most would have been boat anchors without complete restoration. A consistent phrase that never becomes old, is "this looks like it did the day I bought it".
