Roedale Precision Team

Pete Lincoln
is a Fully Qualified Master Riflesmith with over 25 years experience in Firearms Design, Modification and Manufacture. Originally from East Yorkshire-England, Pete has been hunting since he was big enough to carry a gun. Interested in all things mechanical from a very young age. he was often to be found in the fitters workshop of his Fathers haulage business, helping out the mechanics and when no one was looking, building variouse mechanical devices, most of which could be loaded and fired.

In 1986, Pete followed the familiy tradition and joined the British Army. After basic training he embarked on a technical apprenticeship as a REME Armourer. Qualifying as a Class 1 Armourer in 1992. Going on to gain the recognized civilian Engineering Qualifications as a Gun Smith, gaining the German Equivalent of a HND in Engineering and Qualifying as a Master Riflesmith.

Pete collected a wealth of experience in firearms repair, modification and manufacture, especially with Precision Sniper Rifles, as well as becoming an accumplished marksman during his 10 years Military service.

After leaving the Army in 1996. Pete went on to work full time as a Field Engineer with a Defence Contractor for the MOD. From 1999 to November 2007 he worked full time in the Space Industry. During 1994 Pete began working part time ( If you can call 40+ hours a week part time) as a Gunsmith for a major German Sporting Firearms Retailer, an activity which continued until the launch of Roedale Precision as a part time business in 2005.

Never satisfied with the reliability or accuracy of mass produced firearms. Pete started building his own custom rifles based on factory actions. Hunting partners, friends and shop customers began to take note of the accuracy and reliability of his rifles and soon began to ask “ Can you build me a rifle too ?”.

Due to increased demand Pete decided to start a dedicated custom rifle business and Roedale Precision Rifles was launced in 2005. Pete left the Space Race at the end of 2007 and Roedale Precision evolved into a full time business from 2008.

Advice on finding a good Riflesmith...you might like to consider the following. A tallented old grey haired Master Gunsmith once said. When it comes to choosing a Gunsmith, you should look for the following 3 qualities:

• Talented
• Cheap
• Quick Service

But you will only ever be able to choose 2 of these qualities !!

Well. we are Talented, our Price to Performance Ratio is excellent, and we are working hard to master the quick service, state departments, suppliers and occasionaly a customer can throw a spanner in the works that cocks up the whole time frame, so all we ask is that you trust us to do your contracted work to the highest of standards, and that you don't get upset with us when time schedules slip, we are in the same boat as our customers when it comes to waiting for delivery and together we will see each and every project through.
