About

My name is Jared Carlson Owner of JC Gunworks. This is journey has been many years in the making to get here. I started in Gunsmithing School in Fall 2006 at Pine Technical College in Pine City MN. I grew up in rural MN north of there so growing up hunting and being outdoors was natural to me. I was always the kid the took stuff apart to figure out how it worked, so when I realized that I could fix stuff that was related to hunting it was a no brainier gunsmithing is my calling. I finished school in May of 2008, and three days after graduating I started my first real gunsmithing job in Montana. I finished up that year but if you remember 2008 that fall was the start of the recession for America, and being the low man on the pole in a small company I found myself let go. It was in 2009 that I moved to Kenosha Wisconsin to work Gander Mountain and was with the company till there end in August of 2017. I stuck around till the new company started but it was not for me I wanted something more. In the summer of 2019 I got rolling to start my own business. And now its 2020 a new decade is here and JC Gunworks is officially open for business.
