Tim
As a software engineer and avid shooter, his passion for building rifles came from putting together his first rifle.
While he was inspired by the simplicity of the process and the enjoyment of calling a rifle his own, he was burdened by the difficulty of sourcing parts for the right price.
Relying on his software engineering background and his passion for high-quality software, Apogee Rifleworks was born.

In his day job, Josh provides prosthetic arms and legs to his patients. Because of his work with amputees, he understands the importance of selecting the right components for each person. The same attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship used in the clinic is utilized when coordinating and building rifles.

What We Believe
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator (our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ) with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Among these unalienable Rights, the 2nd Amendment.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The Founding Fathers wrote it correctly and meant exactly what they wrote.
"A militia...are in fact the people themselves...and are for the most part employed at home in their private concerns."
- Richard Henry Lee
"The militia...are...the people at large."
- Tench Coxe
"The militia is comprised of free citizens."
- Samuel Adams
"Who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people."
- George Mason
The Militia Act of 1792 required nearly every adult male to possess a firearm and necessary equipment.
"That every citizen so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter, How to be armed and accoutred. provide himself with a good musket or firelock, a sufficient bayonet and belt, two spare flints, and a knapsack, a pouch with a box therein to contain not less than twenty-four cartridges, suited to the bore of his musket or firelock, each cartridge to contain a proper quantity of powder and ball: or with a good rifle, knapsack, shot-pouch and powder-horn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder; and shall appear, so armed, accoutred and provided, when called out to exercise, or into service, except, that when called out on company days to exercise only, he may appear without a knapsack."
- Militia Act of 1792
Alexander Hamilton said it well:
"the Supreme Being gave existence to man, together with the means of preserving and beatifying that existence. He endowed him with rational faculties, by the help of which, to discern and pursue such things, as were consistent with his duty and interest, and invested him with an inviolable right to personal liberty, and personal safety."
- The Farmer Refuted
"Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:"
- Psalm 144:1
