Historians have traced the Lauck family's involvement in custom
firearms back to the 1700's in America, and to foreign soil prior to
their American work. |

Historical records indicate the Laucks were heavily involved in

The Lauck brothers of the 1700's reportedly marched with Daniel
Morgan's riflemen to join with General Washington during the
revolutionary period in United States history. The Laucks were
reportedly involved in the relief of Boston and the siege of Quebec
as members of Captain Morgan's riflemen. The Laucks later
rejoined Morgan as he organized the 11th and 15th Virginia
Regiments. |

|
From this point in history, the gunsmithing tradition and training was
further passed on to Lauck sons. The Lauck sons continued custom
gunsmithing and barrel making occupations through the 1800's. |

In the 1900's the Laucks continued in custom gun work and
marksmanship. Some continued military service in the Army and
U.S.M.C, while others entered careers in Law Enforcement. |
