TEAM SHORT ACTION CUSTOMS
Short Action Customs entered the competition shooting world not long after the company’s inception. Mark began shooting matches and Alan got his start not long after. The love for this sport has never faded and we continue to help the growth and exposure with our match contributions and sponsorships.

Oran Lewis
Originally from the small town of Murchison, East Texas, I’ve spent the last 19 years serving on active duty Army, including multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan as an infantryman. For the past nine years, I’ve been competing in the Precision Rifle Series, constantly pushing myself to improve while enjoying the friendships and competition that make the sport so rewarding. When I’m not behind the rifle, you’ll find me chasing whitetails in the woods of Texas and Ohio or spending time with my wife and kids. The outdoors has always been a huge part of who I am, and I enjoy sharing that passion with others. If you see me at a match, don’t be a stranger; come say hello. I’m always happy to talk rifles, hunting, or just enjoy good conversation.

Jeffery Barton

Jeffrey has SRT (Special Response Team) experience and has been assigned as a designated sniper since 2017.
“I remember the day I met Mark on a flight to South Texas for a hunting trip. Mark sat next to me and shared his passion for precision rifles the entire flight. Mark built my first custom rifle in 2017 and since then I carry it daily while on patrol. Every match I shoot is approached as a training exercise. Getting comfortable with unconventional positions I may find myself in when called out to a critical incident. It’s an honor to be a part of the Short Action Customs Team.”
Aside from shooting, Jeffrey enjoys spending time with friends and family, competing in CrossFit, flying as a private pilot, and training with his four legged partner, K9 Maggie.
