THE WHO

​

My name is Chris Zuest. After honorably retiring after over 20 years from the United States Air Force I've gained a considerable amount of useful manufacturing and quality production

skills that I wanted to showcase. I'm an FAA Certified Airframe and Power Plant mechanic with Miniature and Micro-miniature electronics repair certifications. I've acquired IPC-7711 and IPC-7721 certifications in rework, modification and repair of all electronic assemblies. Additionally I am an American Welding Society Certified entry-level welder, and hold a degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology.

​

THE WHY

Many years of special operations aircraft maintenance and freelance automotive repair have taken a major toll on me physically. I decided to take on the less-physically demanding hobby of reloading and target practice with co-workers and friends.  Naturally I was hooked and wanted to produce my own ammunition. Realizing the steep cost of some big-name reloading and weapon accessories out there, I decided to start my own 3-D printing and manufacturing business, offering a cheaper and better alternative to what was out there.

​

THE WHAT

​

I now build cost effective products that out-perform the competition. I'll continue to grow my product selection and inventory as time allows. It's my goal travel the USA and sell my products at as many gun shows as I can to meet, greet and listen to praise and criticisms of my equipment in order to evolve, improve and make a difference. 

Welcome to my new found passion
