Custom Builds: common questions
Can you finish a build I started?
Often, yes. Bring what you have and we'll inspect the parts, tell you what's needed and quote before doing any work.
Can I bring my own parts?
Yes. We'll check that they're compatible and in good condition before we use them.
Do you do small upgrades, or only full builds?
Both. No job is too simple or too complex, from a spring swap to a complete custom rifle.
What about short-barreled rifles or suppressor-ready builds?
NFA items like SBRs and suppressors require ATF approval. See our Suppressors & NFA page or call us to talk through the process.
