Services
I do not have an hourly rate anymore. From speaking with customers I found that having a set price for a job makes people more comfortable vs. wondering how much a total will be after everything is done and they get a bill. This way, if for some reason a job takes an hour longer than I expected, that cost isn’t passed onto you.
Please note that this list is not exhaustive. These are just some of the things that I can offer and what I thought would be most common. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you want something done that’s not listed here.
Another thing to note is that no gunsmith is an expert in everything. If you ask me to build/do something that I wouldn’t be comfortable doing on my own stuff, I’ll decline. Please don’t take this as an offense. I’d rather point you to someone that is more versed in what you want and loose a job, than take it on and ruin your stuff.
Shipping, handling, and/or any payment method costs are not included in the prices below.
Rifle cases available for $40 if needed for return shipping.
Inspection
Firearm inspection - $20
Pre-fire inspection and evaluation like we did in the armory. Firearm will be checked for function, any possible issues, and headspace verified. If any issues are found, a quote for repair will be sent to the client. There is no obligation to accept the repair work. If repair work is accepted, the $20 inspection fee will be deducted from the invoice.
