#CustomBuilds

Welcome everyone to the 43rd edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or does it only have Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Melvin Forbes has been building custom rifles since 1985. He’s well known for creating well-balanced, lightweight bolt-action rifles that are also durable. And, of course, they’re reliable. When it comes to custom-built hunting rifles, Melvin has been in a class of his own for three decades and doesn’t look to be stopping anytime soon.
