Like Us

We started in 2011 with the goal of providing the best training and services we can to individuals, agencies, and business seeking top level training.  We come from a background of public service and take that same doctrine and philosophy to how we operate our courses, ultimately wanting to give you the best experience possible.  

It was at our classes that we saw several students express an interest in having someone in our area offer gunsmith and armorer services specializing in modern arms such as the AR platform, AK platform, precision rifles, HK Roller Locking platform, defense/carry handguns, and tactical style shotguns.  Other gunsmiths work on shotguns and hunting rifles, only taking an AR job to make money even though they may not know what they are doing.  Sadly, we saw several ARs in particular that were assembled improperly, had incorrect or bad parts, or were just plain messed up by "gunsmiths."  

We already had experience as armorers for LE agencies and working as a factory chief armorer/technical support for a rifle manufacturer.  We decided to offer our services to our students to make sure they get their gear set up like it should be.  Our motto is simple, we are honest and up front and not afraid to turn down a job if it isn't practical for you.
