The options and personal needs of each hunter vary tremendously. The first step is a phone call to my shop: 662-897-3006. During that conversation, we can discuss your unique needs around optics (or not), gauge, hunting style, even your age and camo preferences.
Once we get those details worked out, I will begin the process of customizing a hunting gun just for you. I will ask for a deposit to get things going and give you an idea of the delivery date. Yes, I have a long list of work in progress but I'm just like you...I want my gun as soon as possible. However, the detailed metal work, fine-tuning, and cosmetic details take time and frankly I don't hurry these guns. I want them right when they leave BRP's shop. I personally shoot and pattern EVERY gun myself. Regardless, I don't dawdle either.
Wait Time? I will clarify that when we talk. See the page for making an "appointment" below. I am not that hard to get up with but like everyone there are better times to talk than others. For your convenience, you might try setting up a time on that form so we can have a long discussion and swap some hunting stories too.
Give me a call and we can get started on the gun of a lifetime!
I began my turkey hunting career at age 10 following my father, Martin Coffman, around the swamps of Southwest Alabama. My love for hunting the wild turkey grew as years passed. Eventually, I became a weapons armorer learning all technical aspects of many different firearms. My love for turkey hunting and firearms lead to the establishment of Black River Precision in 2015, a Class II Licensed Firearms Manufacturer. This combination ultimately lead to the development of the “Pure Poison” Custom Turkey Gun made for the serious turkey hunter.
A true "custom" firearm costs $8,000 and up! What I'm talking about is a custom individualistic purpose-built shotgun designed for your specific needs. This means it is built for a specific game bird and equipped with traits that improve your chance of success while hunting. That's it. So, what does such a shotgun provide?
1. Reliability: Really, that's what it's all about. Triggers, extractors, bolts, even magazine springs all function correctly every time. I can think of few things worse than traveling to a distant area to hunt only to have your “ol' trusty scattergun“ fail miles from a gunsmith.
2. Accuracy: Of course, rifles are tweaked for maximum accuracy but shotguns especially those special ones designed for turkey hunting require optimal accuracy too. This is especially true with the newer tight choke systems and the modern TSS cartridges.
3.Sighting System: From the good ol‘ bead to Ghost Rings to a variety of optical sighting systems, each hunter has preferences and comfort levels. To achieve optimal accuracy, the right sight has to be coupled with the shooter's skills, the load, the choke tube, and even the action type.
4. Gauge: From youngsters to small adults to big ol‘ boys, recoil tolerance varies. The problem arises when one needs all the qualities of a great gun such as a turkey gun but in one of the smaller gauges. Production shotguns usually are not available in the perfect gauge along with the specific requirements for that purpose-built weapon.
5. Testing: Your shotgun will be tested and "proofed" by me. I will test various choke devices, shotshell brands, shot size, and load weights to eventually combine those components maximizing the chance for success AND allowing one to make that challenging shot or even overcoming a slight error in aiming.
6. Pride: Come on. It's part of the deal! Having something unique and "special" built just for you is part of the rationale. It's OK to want this. When you pull it out at your hunting lodge, it says "I'm not new at this and I'm serious."
7. Economy: Yep, that's right. Let's say you contract with an experienced gunsmith who builds purpose built shotguns such as a turkey guns. It costs $2500! Wow! But, it lasts 25 years & you hunt just 15 mornings each spring with the gun. That's about $6.50/ hunt. Gotta be worth that.
My motto is simple. I build each gun one at a time with the hunter in mind. I will deliver a functional, reliable, accurate, and good looking firearm to meet your needs. Ultimately, leading to success and that picture of that big gobbler on your tailgate.
I will not leave you hanging. I will periodically contact you throughout the build process to provide updates and maybe to just talk hunting! I value my personal relationship with each customer and work very closely with them.
Black River Precision “Pure Poison” turkey guns are built on 870 or 1187 platforms.
The "Pure Poison" Model: Built on an 870 platform, this model includes a highly tuned action while wearing a parkerized finish and a BX19 corrosion proof finish in color of choice. The barrel is cut to desired length (minimum 18.5") and the forcing cone is lengthen. The barrel is then polished to a mirror finish. The stock and forearm are camoflauge of choice. The gun is then paired with a choke and personally shot by me. Shotshell and choke are matched up for optimal performance.
The "Pure Poison" Auto model. It is built on an 1187 platform. It includes a highly tuned action while wearing a parkerized finish and a BX19 corrosion proof finish in color of choice. The barrel is cut to desired length(minimum 18.5") and the forcing cone is lengthen. The barrel is then polished to a mirror finish. The stock and forearm are camoflauge of choice. The gun is then paired with a choke and personally shot by me. Shotshell and choke are matched up for optimal performance.
if you have an old 870 or 1187 laying around it is a great way to save some money. A customer supplied gun first has to pass initial inspections. Then the build can begin!
The waterfowl guns are made with some of the same methods as turkey guns. This gun is designed to be hunting flooded timber or a big rice field...it is set up right. From protective coatings to barrel enhancements to sighting options, this gun will be right at home In the duck marsh.
Predator hunting is getting more popular everyday. Interestingly enough shotguns are being used. This gun is set up just for that. Throwing a dense pattern at a longer distance providing success is the name of the game.

Add a description about this item
Precision crowning is critical to any gun.
Precision reaming and tapping for Rem Chokes while maintaining correct wall thickness is crucial.
Lengthening a shotguns forcing cone can help with:
1. Reduced felt recoil
2. More dense patterns at longer distances
3. Less friction inside the barrel
There are many options for mounting optics on a shotgun. This method is good. It has limitations.
Parkerization is an excellent base finish that completely seals the metal inside and out making the firearm nearly corrosion free.
In addition to parkerization, an added coating adds 6mm more of a protective coating. It provides an ultra flat look as well as adding to corrosion protection.
Matching up the ultra flat finish on your gun to an effective camo pattern no only looks great but serves well in the habitat you are hunting.
For the total camo firearm, this is an good option.
An enlarged safety is a nice feature especially when your heart is pounding at the moment of truth!
Replace that MIM extractor with a solid steel one insuring proper extraction on every shot.
Believe it or not, the magazine follow is a critical part for ultimate feeding. A low drag follower will enhance reliable feeding of shells.
its a cold day and you have gloves on. It sure is nice to grab that oversized charging handle and work the action.
A plug that installed incorrectly is the quickest way to have a feeding problem.
Whether a pump or auto, the trigger pull weight can be reduced.
Typically this applies to customer supplied firearms. Worth doing to insure proper cycling.
