JC CUSTOM BARRELS INC. - FULL-TIME RIFLE SERVICE

JC (Jean-Claude) Gautreau has made the big leap to full-time barrel making as of October 23. He is now known by the name JC CUSTOM BARRELS. He has work requested of him from the Maritime Provinces and elsewhere.
JC is an accomplished shooter having shot BR out west and Fullbore in New Brunswick. He is a force to be reckoned with at any match.

JC's barrels are made from the finest stainless barrel steel and samples are performing very well indeed in local, provincial, Inter-Maritime and national matches. He researches what he does, talks to other barrel makers and does a meticulous job on all aspects of this work. I, for one, am very pleased with the barrels he made for me.

Congratulations to JC and we wish him well in this endeavour.

Here are a couple of examples of his work:

F-TR Rifle - BAT "B", RB, LP; JC Custom Barrel in .308, 10.33" twist, 6 groove, 30" long

 HV Bench Rest Rifle - Borden Rimrock BRM, RB, RP;
JC Custom Barrel in 6MM PPC, 13.5" twist, 4 groove, 22" long

2.  A moment of silence was observed to remember deceased comrades of the shooting fraternity.

3     President Mike asked each one of the Board members to introduce themselves and state their position on the RNBRA Board. He thanked those attending on behalf of the Board and stated that the Annual General Meeting is an opportunity to become informed of the news and business of the Association. It is a forum for discussion and input and an opportunity to honour those members who have given so much to the Association. It is also the responsibility of those in attendance to elect the President, two Vice-presidents, and three Directors at Large. Mike spoke of the RNBRA’s reason for existence which is to develop shooting ability in New Brunswick. In 2016 RNBRA will celebrate 150 years of doing that. As the provincially recognized sport governing body for shooting in NB, RNBRA receives funding from the province. As such, the RNBRA is accountable for that money. There is much work to be done and Mike encouraged those in attendance to consider what help they are willing to give. The full text of the President’s opening remarks will be included with the Secretary’s minutes.
