Depending on the complexity of your project and availability of parts / tooling wait time may vary.
Basic cleans, sight install, optic install, muzzle device install (not including pin and welds) will take about 2 to 4 weeks.

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 Guide above 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 always 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 reach out to notify you. If you have multiple projects checked in with us, we will wait until they are all completed unless otherwise specified by you.
