Carl Pippert was exposed to the extensive collection of the late Joe Kindig. He was able to study in detail the essential
elements of some of the finest existing specimens of Kentucky rifles. He has produced some very fine
interpretations of the late Golden Age guns and is well known among collectors
of original pieces as an exceptional craftsman.
Humbly, Pippert does not even consider himself a gunsmith
and states, “ I do this simply as a hobby.” He does not actively solicit
orders.
