What's your shop rate for gunsmithing?
Our standard rate is $75 per hour with a $45 minimum bench fee. Most common repairs, sight work, and parts replacement fall into a predictable range — we'll quote it before starting.
Can you build a rifle or pistol from scratch for me?
Yes. We do ground-up custom AR-15, 1911, 2011, and Glock builds — parts sourcing, assembly, Cerakote, and function testing included. See our custom builds page or send us your spec for a full quote.
