Forster Products has long been known for top-tier quality—so good, it was always worth the wait. But if you’ve been a longtime customer, you may have noticed something: our lead times have improved significantly!
About five years ago, Forster underwent a change in ownership, but we kept the same location, the same skilled workforce, and even promoted from within while bringing in new talent. We also invested in cutting-edge machines and tooling. A key part of this transition was Pete Alber and his son, Vince Alber, who had been supplying custom cutting tools to Forster through their company, Proto Cutter, long before stepping into ownership. Their expertise in cutting tools and machining has helped refine and enhance Forster tools—especially our dies—by improving the quality of our reamers and cutting tools. Pete, along with his business partner and accountant Don Benning, formed Iron Door Holding, which now owns Forster Products.
We wanted to share this background with you as a lead-up to some exciting new developments!
- Chamber Reamers & More Gunsmith Tools: With our extensive background and experience in cutting tools, Forster will begin to offer chamber reamers along with a range of new gunsmithing tools that we are really excited about!
Chamber Reamers
- Precision Rifle Series (PRS) Events: We kicked off our first Precision Rifle Series match last year, and now we’re adding several PRS matches this year. We would love for you to come join us!
- A New Destination for Precision Rifle Components: Now that Iron Door holds an 07 FFL, we’re taking things to the next level! With Josh Egyed of JE Precision Shooting and partnerships with top rifle component brands like CRB, MPA, Impact, TriggerTech, and Accu-Tac, we’re proud to offer a selection of top-quality rifle components. We hope you’ll turn to us for your next precision build!
Look for the ‘Precision Rifle’ link at the top of the Forster Products website—it’ll take you straight to Iron Door Guns, your new hub for all things precision rifle. And just like with our reloading tools, you can count on the same top-notch customer service. We share a parking lot, ownership, sewer line….and love for all things precision shooting.
