I've never heard of them but I'd be VERY leery of them. Their about/history page seems very similar to John Harvey at HG Firearms. There's no address, but I would bet this company is based in Lake City, Michigan. I'm sorry if I step on any toes, I'm not positive about it, that's just what my gut tells me. Take it for what you will.

I would say based on his prices I would look at established swaging company like rce, Dave corbin, or Larry blackman BSSP
"Consequently we move away from other shooters to remain focused on our passion, as our ideas are quickly dismissed or misunderstood by others. Sharing does not come easily for swagers, not because they are necessarily selfish, but because they have been whittling away in their only little world for so long, that being able to relate to others what they understand is no simple task."

I agree. Sounds like him also. I may be way off base. Actually, I hope I am.

In the "about" section of the JKS website it talks a lot about .234 diameter bullets. Only other time I recall seeing mention of this caliber bullet from a swage die maker was on the old HG Firearms website if I remember correctly.
HG Firearms site and same 23 cal mention......

Take note of previous customer reviews regarding HG Firearms (if these two are one and the same?) and proceed with caution when spending big money on a set of swage dies. Always best to buy from a reputable maker as the ones already mentioned have established credentials.

Thank you for the info'.
much appreciated.
always keeping a look out for new swagging companies.
I was curious and had a bit of money available and a lathe to do my own repairs if necessary. Address on the box I received is the same as the old HG Firearms address and the last name is the same.
