Albright's Gunsmiths

Alex Lyle has always had a passion for guns. He grew up hunting with his father, who instilled in him an appreciation for fine shoulder arms at a young age. He thrives on the intricate details that flow gracefully together into a functional piece of art.

Alex studied at the Piedmont Gunsmithing Association in Roxboro, NC. After graduation, he went to work for C. Sharp Armory in Big Timber, Montana. Though a high-end gun manufacturer, the production mindset was not for him. When he heard that Albright's Gun Shop was looking for a new gunsmith, he leapt at the opportunity. He feels priviledged to be working with Steve Engle, master gunsmith, and looks forward to his future at Albright's.

SteveSteve Engle, a formally trained gunsmith, came to Albright's Gun Shop over 15 years ago. Steve is considered a Master Gunsmith. He has over 20 years of experience and grew up working on guns. Some customers see guns as just a tool but to others they are heirlooms with sentimental value. This is one reason Steve enjoys working with wood and metal, using his skills to restore a customer's gun.
