Cerakote in house
A finish nobody else has.
Cerakote is a tough ceramic coating that protects a gun and lets you make it your own. We do it here: woodland camo on a .338 Lapua, an antique trail-map theme on a .22 ARC inspired by Lonesome Dove, and whatever you have in mind.
Building an AR? Buy the parts here and we'll put it together for you. If you have a build in mind and need some direction, come talk it through at the counter.
