Crossville, Tennessee • Family-Owned Since 2017
Two certified tool and die makers. Fifty-plus years of combined bench time. One Tennessee shop doing honest machine work for serious American gun owners.
Wager Machine Works is a father and son shop. Phil and Nate Wager. Opened for business in 2017.
The garage went up in the summer of 2014. For the next three years it was nights and weekends, machining parts to make our own work better. People started asking where we got them. We started making them for those people too. That is how the hobby became a trade, and the trade became a shop.
Today we cut optic slots, port slides and barrels, install iron sights, and refinish barrels and slides for Glock, CZ, Sig, and Smith & Wesson. Every job runs through the same Tennessee shop where the first cut was made. We believe your word matters. We try to do business the right way. And we are grateful for every customer who trusts us with their gear.
“We are not just making a high-quality product. We are bringing back pride and awareness to the trades that built this country.”
Co-Founder • Tool & Die Maker
40+ Years in the Trade
Phil is a certified tool and die maker with more than 40 years in machining, manufacturing, and design. Four decades at the bench teach you things no classroom does. He brings that straight into every job that leaves the shop.
Off the clock, you will find him on a trail or on two wheels.
Co-Founder • CAD/CAM & Manufacturing
10+ Years • 3 Degrees
Nate is a certified tool and die maker with 10+ years in the field and degrees in Automotive Technology, Engineering Science, and Advanced Manufacturing Technology. He runs the CAD and CAM side of the shop and is always looking for ways to tighten up the process without giving an inch on quality.
Off the clock, he is building hot rods and firearms.
Every cut is machined to spec. Every piece is inspected before it ships. Precision, fit, and hard-use dependability are not options. They are the standard.
Fair prices. Straight answers. Real turnaround times. If we get something wrong, we own it and make it right. Your word matters here, and so does ours.
Every job is cut in Crossville, Tennessee, by people who own guns, carry guns, and believe in the right to do so. We stand with American gun owners and the trades that built this country.
