Services

Gunsmithing

I offer a full range of professional gunsmith services including gun repairs, firearm restoration, trigger and action jobs, custom firearm work, barrel chambering, action blueprinting, barrel threading for adapters and muzzle brakes, recoil pad installation, TIG welding, and custom engraving.

I also provide specialized metal finishing services to restore or enhance your firearm’s appearance and durability. Finishing options include bluing (rust, hot, charcoal, fire, and Belgian methods), parkerizing (zinc and magnesium), and traditional case hardening using bone and wood charcoal.

Preparation for metal plating is also available, including finishes for silver, nickel, and gold plating.

All services are performed in-house by me, ensuring quality control and consistent craftsmanship throughout the entire process. Nothing is outsourced, so your firearm remains in the hands of the same gunsmith from start to finish.
