Our Gunsmithing Services

Custom AR Builds

We build AR-15s from the ground up or finish a build you started. Bring us your stripped lower and a parts list, or let us source components — BCGs, barrels, handguards, triggers, muzzle devices. We’ll spec it for what you’re actually trying to do. Turnaround on a standard build: 1–2 weeks depending on parts availability.

Trigger Work and Action Jobs

• Glock trigger upgrades — drop-in replacements, polishing, connector swaps
• 1911 trigger jobs — polish, fit, adjust
• AR drop-in trigger installation (Geissele, CMC, Timney, and others)
• Bolt-action trigger adjustment and replacement

Carry Gun Setups

• Optic cuts for slide-mounted red dots (RMR, Holosun, Shield RMS footprints)
• Night sight and suppressor-height sight installation
• Grip work — stippling, grip tape, grip reduction on polymer frames
• Extended controls — mag releases, slide stops, thumb safeties

Cerakote and Duracoat Finishing

We apply Cerakote H-Series and Elite Series — baked on, properly prepped, lasts longer than the steel underneath it. Single-color, multi-tone, and custom stencil work available. Turnaround: 1-2 months

Custom Rifle Builds

Bolt-action and semi-auto builds for hunting, precision shooting, and competition. Barrel threading, stock fitting and bedding, muzzle device installation, and NFA item transfers. Precision builds are quoted after a consultation.

General Repair and Maintenance

No diagnostic fee with repair. Springs, extractors, ejectors, timing issues — if your gun isn’t running right, bring it in. We work on handguns, rifles, and shotguns across a wide range of platforms.

What to Expect

Bring your firearm in unloaded during shop hours. We’ll look at it with you, give you an honest estimate, and put it in writing before we touch anything. We call if we find something unexpected — no surprise invoices. Simple repairs are often same-day or same week. Custom builds and Cerakote: 1–2 month.
