Jay and Kara Strite
Jay and Kara built Ravens Roost just outside
the historic mining town of Weaverville in
mountains of Northern California.  Jay is
 dedicated to preserving the art of 19th
century quality gunsmithing both by creating
pieces himself and by bringing together
craftspeople and artists who want to produce
the highest quality reproductions and one of
a kind pieces.  Jay specializes in 19th
century metal tecniques while Kara dyes fabric
and paper both for Kirst & Strite and for Raven
Silk art pieces
Walt Kirst of Kirst Company
Walt's passion for 19th century firearms and
especially the development of the revolver,
led to his invention of the Kirst Cartridge
Konverter.  In the mid-1990s he developed
his cartridge conversion system for the
Remington New Army Model Revovler and he
continues to develop new products each year
