“Jesse James has a very unique and creative style to his artwork and products whether they’re motorcycles, cutlery or firearms. So when he approached us with an interest in building rifles that rely on our patent and technology, we were very excited to see what custom models he would come up with and we haven’t been disappointed with the rifle that he calls the “Nomad Califas” first introduced at SHOT Show 2017” said Geoffrey Herring, President-CEO. “Jesse’s selection of materials, product styling and attention to detail is second to none in the custom firearms world as expressed by his many beautiful creations such as his “Skulls” Cisco Especial, “Kingdom of Shadows” Cisco 1911 and most recently his “Bishop” Cisco 1911 pistols set in their custom live edge presentation box. It will be exciting to watch the custom series of Nomad Califas rifles evolve from his imagination and into finished pieces of art that you can still take to the outdoors and shoot.”

Aero-Sonic Suppressor

But pistols and rifles are tame. The real shocker is his company’s propitiatory ‘Aero-Sonic Suppressor’. The retro-futuristic design looks like a prop from a 1930’s Buck Rogers serial. It’s shape is “…designed to match the sound wave of a rifle round.”, and the suppressor body is screwed together. Only time will tell how effective it actually is.

Expect a full release of the JJFU line in January 2014.
