Service
Gunsmithing
Traditional craftsmanship applied to modern and classic firearms.
Service Overview
Gunsmithing is a trade built on patience and precision. Whether your firearm needs a trigger job, action tuning, headspacing, or general fitting work, our shop treats every project with the same level of care.
We combine time tested hand fitting techniques with modern measuring tools to deliver work that holds up round after round.
Many customers come to us after an online parts installation did not fit quite right, or after years of use left an action feeling rough. Our gunsmithing service covers the fundamentals that keep a firearm safe, accurate, and pleasant to shoot.

Gunsmithing FAQ
What is the difference between gunsmithing and gun repair?
+
Gun repair addresses a specific malfunction or broken part. Gunsmithing is broader, covering tuning, fitting, and precision work that improves how a firearm performs even when nothing is technically broken.
Can you lighten my trigger pull?
+
In many cases yes. We evaluate the fire control group and recommend a safe, appropriate trigger job for your specific firearm and intended use.
Do you work on both modern and older firearms?
+
Yes. Our gunsmithing services cover current production firearms as well as older and classic platforms.
Will you check headspace after installing a new barrel?
+
Yes, headspace verification is a standard part of our process any time a barrel is installed or replaced.
Can you fit parts I purchased elsewhere?
+
Often yes. Bring in the parts along with your firearm and we will assess fitment and let you know what is involved before starting.
