The Guild strives to promote standards of excellence. Regular Membership by craftspeople is only after submitting work for inspection and acceptance at the annual meeting by current members present. High ethical standards are mandatory and an ethics committee was mandated by the bylaws for the sole purpose of resolving disputes. Offenders are subject to dismissal.

While the American Custom Gunmakers Guild is fortunate to have many of the world's finest craftspeople as Regular Members, the broad diversity of our general membership dictates that we make no endorsement of any member's level of expertise beyond that required for initial acceptance to the Guild.
