Expert Gunsmithing Services
Gunsmiths are skilled tradespeople who design, build, modify, and repair firearms of all descriptions according to customer demand. They may engage in creative and technical activities, such as woodcarving, engraving by hand, laser engraving, machining, welding, and refinishing.
Gunsmithing is one of the essential services for gun owners in the U.S. because it allows you to have your firearms periodically inspected and repaired if necessary. This protects owners and others from unsafe firearms and ensures your favorite firearm works properly on the range, in the field, or on the street.
The Importance of a Gunsmith
A firearm with mechanical defects may experience misfires, malfunctions, or an unintentional discharge, posing a danger to the user and bystanders. In a competitive match or on a shooting range for practice, a lack of functional reliability can be frustrating. However, in a self-defense situation, an unreliable or unsafe firearm could compromise your ability to protect yourself or your family.
If your firearm isn't performing as expected, this could be due to incorrect assembly, missing parts, or improper alignment. Alternatively, it could be caused by simple wear and tear, a lack of proper maintenance, or cracks and burrs on working surfaces. If you have a broken firearm or need to repair firearm damage, don't settle for amateur or do-it-yourself solutions.
Our Gunsmith Services
Some of the most common services a gunsmith can provide include assembly and disassembly for inspection and general maintenance, such as cleaning and lubrication. During the inspection process, the gunsmith determines the condition of firearm parts and whether they're correctly installed.
Defense Firearms
The ideal firearm for self-defense is capable of flawless operation. Our gunsmiths can polish the feed ramp of your handgun and reshape or polish the chamber to ensure reliable feeding with modern defensive ammunition. In addition, we can fine tune the cycle for added peace of mind.
Competition Handguns
For competitive target shooting, a handgun needs to be more than reliable — it needs to be accurate, consistent, and ergonomic. From replacing the factory barrel and hand-fitting a match grade alternative to upgrading handgun trigger mechanisms, your weapon will be range-ready in no time.
Hunting Firearms
If you've purchased a new hunting rifle, we can help you select and install a suitable rifle scope and bore sight it. We can also perform the sight-in process to ensure your point of aim and point of impact are perfectly aligned for an accurate shooting experience.
Recoil Reduction
Some hunting and competition firearms can produce excessive recoil. Whether you need a recoil pad, muzzle brake, or barrel porting, we can make the necessary modifications to your weapon. This may also require the fitting of a new stock.
Professional Cleaning
Do you have a pistol, revolver, rifle, or shotgun that hasn't seen a bore brush in years? We offer both basic and advanced handgun and long-gun cleaning services to keep your firearm usable and operating flawlessly for years.
Used Firearms Inspection
Bought a used gun and want to verify that it's safe and functional? Inspecting firearms for functionality and diagnosing problems is one of our most popular services. It's also one of the most critical gunsmithing tasks that we provide.
