The Gun Works Muzzleloading Emporium is owned and operated by Joe and Suzi Williams and is located in the heart of the beautiful Willamette Valley in downtown Springfield, Oregon, with immediate access to the I-5 corridor. The Gun Works opened its doors for business on January 15, 1981 when Joe made the decision to turn his "hobby" into a "living". Suzi joined the operations when she and Joe were married in 1982.

Joe brings more than 40 years of experience in muzzle loading to his customers. He started shooting and trading muzzle loaders in the late 1950's before there were factory produced guns on the market. Joe is a tenured black powder shooter with 18 years of competitive experience on the line. His experience is valuable to the new shooter, as well as the tenured buckskinner.

Suzi adds 15+ years of experience to The Gun Works, taking charge of the paper side of the operations. If you want to know where it is or if you can get it, ask Suzi. Suzi responds to many questions from interested black powder shooters seeking supplies and accessories. Please continue to enclose a self-addressed business-size stamped envelope with all mail inquiries. Suzi is known for her follow-through and fosters a congenial working relationship with vendors and customers alike.

The philosophy of The Gun Works enjoys a solid track record of commitment to customer service and satisfaction. Joe and Suzi work hard to treat people as they would like to be treated. The Gun Works makes an effort to set up for business at major West Coast rendezvous offering a wide selection of accessories. Among the wares are some of the finest rifles being manufactured today. Please feel free to stop in and get acquainted!
