The history of Montana Custom Guns, LLC began with Bob James over 55 years ago.  On May
1st, 2009, Bob James sold the company with great faith and admiration to Mr. Kelly Clairmont.  
Kelly and his wife, Carla are natives of Polson, Montana.  He had worked side by side with Bob
for 5 years until purchasing the company assets in 2009 and although Bob no longer works with
us, Kelly is very thankful to Bob and continues with the knowledge he received from him.  Kelly is
very artistic and very maticulous about each and every gun stock that he touches.  He has a
natural knack for gun stock building, and enjoys every minute of it.  He enjoys creating with his
hands and allowing his artistic talent to radiate through his finished product.
Kelly is performing all of the services that Montana Custom Guns offers now as the economy has
slowed down but rest assured Kelly will continue to put his time and care into each and every gun
he works on!
Kelly Clairmont
Kelly was born and raised here in the Big Sky country.  He is married and he and his wife have 5
children, and 2 granddaughters.  They are very active in their childrens' activities whether it be in
or out of school.  He and his wife enjoy camping, spending the day on Flathead Lake and spending
time with their children, family and friends.  Kelly is an avid hunter including hunting for Elk,
Moose, and Buffalo.  He has been raised around firearms and is now thrilled with the fact that he
is the owner and operator his own gun shop that produces such beautiful products!  Kelly began
working for Montana Long Guns, Inc in 2004 and has never thought of changing his career path
and so he will continue his dream by owning and managing Montana Custom Guns!  He looks
forward to seeing all of you and visiting with you!
Ownership has been changed for over 2 years now, and although the economy has slowed, the
craftsmanship that is involved in the custom stock making, checkering, finishing, recoil systems,
restorations, precision gunsmithing, and point of impact gunfittings, has not been deterred.
The products of Montana Custom Guns will continue to be the best in the
Nation!
