Gunsmithing
Handguns, rifles, shotguns and everything between — repairs, threading, triggers, optics and fitting on our own bench, quoted before we touch your firearm.
- 01Barrel ThreadingPrecision muzzle threading cut on a lathe and dialed concentric to the bore, with a thread protector installed and the price quoted up front.
- 02Barrel Chop & CrownBarrels cut to a specified length and re-crowned square to the bore — for approved Form 1 SBR builds, 16-inch rifles, 18-inch shotguns and damaged muzzles.
- 03Muzzle Devices & Pin/WeldMuzzle brakes, flash hiders and silencer mounts installed, timed and torqued; pinned and welded for 16-inch compliance; or removed when they're seized on.

- 09Trigger Work & ModificationsTrigger jobs tuned to a target pull weight and measured on a gauge. Safe, reversible, and function-tested before it leaves the bench.
- 101911 & 2011 FittingHand-fitting for 1911s, 2011s and CZ-pattern competition pistols: safeties, mag releases, triggers, grips and barrels fitted, tuned and function-checked.
