Travis Caldwell
I grew up building custom match triggers alongside my father in the shop that would become Iron River Armory. After an eight-year stint as lead armor instructor for the Montana Law Enforcement Academy training program, I returned home to help grow our family business. My focus is bridging the gap between tactical precision and practical reliability for everyday shooters. I still personally gunsmith every custom AR platform that leaves our shop floor.
Areas of focus
- trigger system optimization for competition ARs
- suppressor selection and host weapon compatibility
- concealed carry pistol modifications for high-round counts
- NFA trust paperwork and compliance workflows
- free-float rail systems and precision barrel harmonics
- rust-preventative finishes for hunting shotgun applications
