Competition Rifles & Gunsmithing
 
Competition Specialties  827 Townline Rd, PO Box 451, Osceola, Iowa 50213 
Phone: (800)369-4481 Toll Free /  (641)342-2011 From the local area  Rick McDowell - Owner
Rick posts troubleshooting tips on AR15-L and has a wealth of knowledge.   Competition Specialties is primarily a custom competition shop. He hand builds IPSC/USPSA handguns, and also some rifles and shotguns, 10/22's, etc.,  Anything related to competition shooting turns Rick on.  He also has a full machine shop here so Rick can build custom parts and firearms.  Rick also manufacture a higher grade of hard cast pistol bullets for shooters and competitors. Rick won Winchester's test so his bullets are included in their little reloading booklet. I have a lot of 1911 parts, some basic AR parts, along with some parts for a few others. Rick can turn barrels down to whatever the customer wants, but is not set up for reparkerizing.  If Rick does anything well, it is being able to fix crap. ;-) He can take problem rifles that other 'gunsmiths' have given up on, figure out the problem, and get it fixed. Never met one he couldn't fix.  Rick has worked on hundreds of AR's also and seen most of the problems with them.

Kurt is a regular poster to AR15.com as KurtsKustom, he also moderates a forum there about his business.  His AR work includes reducing HBAR barrels to M4, A2 or A1 dimensions, barrel fluting, building ARs in unusual or wildcat calibers, .22LR uppers (in any configuration), and other unique modifications and hardware (Check out his post ban muzzle brakes!).  Kurt is not limited to the world of AR-15s (AKs, FALs, bolt actions, and M17 bullpups are all common in his shop), nor is he limited to the firearms industry.  Note when Kurt reprofiles the barrel he also parkerizes the front sight pins, and the barrel w/o the front sight on per mil-spec (something even Bushmaster does not do) to help prevent rust.
