Gunsmithing: common questions
What kinds of firearms do you work on?
Handguns, rifles and shotguns. Our training covers common platforms such as GLOCK, AR-15/M4 and 1911 pistols. Call and tell us what you have and we'll let you know if it's a fit.
Do you quote before starting work?
Yes. We inspect the firearm first and go over what it needs and what it will cost before any work begins. Nothing gets done without your okay.
Can I drop off a firearm without an appointment?
We're appointment only, 8 AM to 4:30 PM, seven days a week. Call to set a time so someone is ready to check your firearm in with you.
Can you install parts I already bought?
Usually, yes. Bring the parts to your appointment and we'll confirm they're compatible and safe to install before we start.
Ready when you are. Just call first.
8:00 AM – 4:30 PM, seven days a week, by appointment only.
