About the Workshop
Popoff Gunmakers is a private workshop led by Alexander Popoff, specializing in the restoration, repair, and custom work of fine rifles.
​
The work is hands-on, patient, and precise. Each rifle is treated as an individual project — whether it is a treasured heirloom, a working hunting rifle, or a custom build requiring careful fitting and traditional bench skills.
​
Here, the standard is simple: no shortcuts, no rushed work, and no factory approach. Just honest craftsmanship, careful judgment, and the kind of work that is meant to last.

"True craftsmanship is not speed. It is judgment, patience, and the discipline to stop before the mistake is made."
