Here at GCPD Arms we are here to build your long range shooting dreams.

This beginning is critical to ensuring that our clients make a long term investment for their perfectly configured rifle specific to their needs and requirements.

With every rifle individually built our customer know that they are not buying something that is a gun shops left over stock and doesn't necessarily suit their needs.
