TPH 210: Jeff Williams of MTE Machining | From SF Sniper to Barrel Maker

from The Texas Predator Hunting Podcast · host Wade Chandler

A wide-ranging conversation with Jeff Wludyka (known professionally as Jeff Williams) of MTE Machining, a retired Special Forces sniper turned precision rifle builder and barrel manufacturer. The episode covers his path from 20 years in Army Special Forces to launching a gunsmithing business, the philosophy behind cutting AR-15 barrels for real precision work, the upcoming "No Shift" upper designed to solve AR handguard point-of-impact shift, and how AI tools have become a functional extra employee for a small manufacturing business. The conversation closes with a great father-son mule deer hunting story and a rundown of current thermal and clip-on night vision recommendations.
