Below are excerpts from unsolicited letters sent to Falcon Machining by customers.

"The two barrels that you made for my Pardini's shoot great! They are the best .22 barrels out in the market that I have found and I have tried 10-15 different kinds. ... accuracy is the name of the game. The last three Master's titles I have won with your barrels and shrouds in the Precision event. It really boosts my confidence when I go to the line with guns that shoot so good. ..." -- Doug Koenig, 5 time Grand Master, 2 time Bianchi Cup, 1990 IPSC World Chamption

"When you first started making barrels I said that after you finally got some on the market and continued to make them with the high quality that has been demonstrated by some of the targets that shooters have sent, things would really take off. It seems everything is pointed in that direction. You might as well put my name down on your list for another barrel ..." -- Bob Shea, retired High Standard master gunsmith and builder of the famous "10X" series.
