  An honest attempt will ALWAYS be made to effect a reliable, reasonably priced repair to your firearm as quickly as I can. I do, however, have a wife, 3 kids, a house and another job. I’m faster than most but God and family comes first. Firearms are fixed in the order they come in, the only exception is a really good excuse and the desire to pay more than double( everybody else thinks their repair is more important too!). Repairs and processes not listed can probably still be done- just ask. We’re here to make sure you’re locked and loaded and ready to shoot! Any firearm repaired here can be test-fired on my range. Thank you for your patronage.
