Founded by Paul Shuttleworth in 1986, CPA Rifles offers reproductions of the Stevens 44 1/2 action single shot falling block rifles, as well as customizations of other similar guns. Paul established the business and Gail, the third of four children, joined the family-owned operation in 1997 and has taken a hands-on approach in everything she does at CPA.
Gail is an accomplished and lifelong shooter and is as proficient in the shop as she is on the range.
Gail and I sit down in the shop at CPA to discuss single-shot rifles, the history of Schuetzen, and black powder silhouette. We take a look at what a small gun production facility looks like and how a CPA can thrive on a “quality over quantity” business model.
Join us for this exciting and in-depth look at a family-owned firearms business and so much more on Episode 23 of The Gun Room.
