IGY6 is a military acronym for “I Got Your Back”.  It’s kind of what I wanted this business to be about.

My interest in firearms began as a young boy with my father. It was later fueled by spending 13 years on active duty in the U. S. Marine Corps. When I left the Marines in 1986, I wanted to pursue my interest in firearms, however, I got hired on at BNSF Railroad.  So, for the next 31 years just having a life was difficult. After retiring in 2020 and getting married in 2022 the dream resurfaced. I told my new wife about my dream and her reply was, “Whatever makes you happy Hun”.  I started professional training with American Gunsmithing Institute and after 8 months of studying and 5 exams I became Certified. During this time, I also acquired my Federal Firearms License.

Since this endeavor was not going to be our main source of income, and I don’t have overhead like some brick-and-mortar stores, I’ve made a pledge to provide fair and honest pricing for Gunsmithing Services and Firearm Sales.  View my  Bona Fides.
