A DYING ART. KEPT ALIVE.
Deep in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
Real gunsmithing is disappearing. Bobby Connor is one of the few left who still does it right — by hand, by trade, in a small town shop in Crandon, WI. Custom builds, Cerakote, laser engraving, and restoration the way it was meant to be done. And with Lenny York's 35 years of firearm sales experience behind the counter, you're in good hands from the first handshake to the last.

About Bobby
Built by a Craftsman. Backed by Passion.
Bobby Connor has spent years mastering the art and science of gunsmithing. What started as a deep personal passion for firearms grew into Northwoods Firearms — a full-service custom shop built on precision, integrity, and Wisconsin grit.
Every firearm that comes through the door gets Bobby's personal attention. Whether it's a family heirloom in need of restoration, a competition pistol needing a custom trigger job, or a rifle destined for a one-of-a-kind Cerakote finish — the standard is always the same: do it right.
On the sales floor, Lenny York brings 35 years of firearm sales experience to every conversation. Whether you're buying, selling, or trading, Lenny knows the market, knows the guns, and knows how to make a deal that's fair for everyone.
Under the Northwoods Customs brand, Bobby also offers bespoke builds and specialty work for clients who want something truly unique. If you can dream it, we can build it.

I have purchased many weapons from Northwoods during my time in the Northwoods. Bob has always been gracious and helpful. His work on any weapon is outstanding. I would recommend this shop to anyone who asks. Great people and great selections. If he doesnt have it he will find it!!

These guys got me setup with all the best gear for predator hunting. Purchased my first silencer and thermal scope with their expert guidance. They also completed 3 Cerakotes for me on 2 ARs and one 1911 pistol, upgraded a 1980s 30.06 with new stock, trigger, & Leupold scope for an Idaho Elk hunt, and is currently working on some re-condition projects for some very old family guns. Highly recommend!
