Cleaning
From field-expedient to "down to the pins," have your firearm all ready for the range.
Troubleshooting
Safety, reliability, or accuracy problems? I have the tools, education, and experience needed to do some sleuthing and get you back on target.
Machining
Cutting down, crowning, threading, barrel replacement, or drilling & tapping. No sweat.
Stock Work
Refinishes, inletting, recoil pads, or bedding to get your firearm looking, feeling, and shooting great.
Safety/Function & Test Fire
I can ensure your firearm is safe to operate and all the functions work properly. If you have sights you'd like installed and zeroed, they'll be ready for you to make the final adjustments after I get them "durn near close."
Repairs
Whether you lost a part, broke a small part (or something larger), I can fix it, fit it, and get you back to the field.
Directions:
From Intl Airport Rd & Arctic Blvd facing south: Turn left onto W 59th Ave, turn right on the sidestreet right after the Purple Turtle. Turn left into the parking area on the south side of building 700. The shop faces the Dowling Rd overpass.
