After his military service through the help of the GI Bill, he attended one of the most prestigious trade schools for gunsmithing; The Colorado School of Trades. This is where Charlie learned the basics of professional gunsmithing. After completion, he moved on to work under one of the best Master Gunsmiths in the country. For the past 8 years, Charlie has honed his skills as a professional gunsmith, gathering a wide range of skills and technical knowledge on firearms customization and repair, machining, metallurgy, welding, stock working and blacksmithing.

Similar to Charlie, he attended and graduated from The Colorado School of Trades in January of 2016, with an emphasis on gunsmithing. Preston’s main focus has always been diagnostic repair on all types of firearms. He has a specific interest in shotguns, as well as vintage and historical pieces.

How do I schedule an appointment?
Our Gunsmithing Department operates on a first come first serve basis. To get your firearm(s) in the queue, simply bring it/them by any time we are open and one of our firearm consultants will be able to check your firearm(s) in for you.
What is the current wait time?
4 to 6 weeks is our standard wait time.
Depending on the complexity of your project and availability of parts / tools wait time may vary.
We regularly try to purge our queue of basic jobs like sight installations, muzzle brake installations, and cleanings.
How can I speak to a Gunsmith?
One of our gunsmiths is in the store whenever our range is open. Although there are times when we are unavailable to speak with customers, involved in a complex project, already speaking with a customer, in a meeting, at lunch, etc. We do our best to provide excellent customer service but must balance this with our gunsmithing workload. If we are on the phone, computer or sales floor then we aren’t gunsmithing.
You can reach us at 470-222-4853 or gunsmithing@scottsdalegunclub.com
What if I can’t wait in the queue?
We do occasionally accept, at the sole discretion of one of our gunsmiths, expedited work. Costs will be determined based on the deadline and work to be performed.
How much will my project cost?
Our Pricing Sheet will give you a good idea of what certain work will cost. If your job isn’t listed, feel free to reach out for an estimate. While we try to always give accurate quotes, please understand working on firearms is not a cut and dry process. Certain things are beyond our control and a more accurate picture can’t be formed until actually performing the work. We WILL contact you for authorization if your project ends up being more expensive than originally estimated. Reasons for this might be additional labor required, damaged, missing or broken parts, or safety/functional issues.
How do I know if my Firearm is Finished?
As soon as your job is completed, we will call and notify you. If you have multiple projects checked in with us, we will wait until they are all completed unless otherwise specified by you.
