Gun Shop in Pelham, AL

The Armory isn't a typical gun shop. It's a working gunsmith operation run by veterans who treat firearms like a craft, not a transaction. Located at 2639 Pelham Parkway in Pelham, Alabama, they've built a reputation across Birmingham, Hoover, Bessemer, Cullman, and the surrounding region for precision work and no-nonsense service.

This is a gunsmith-first operation. Their core work includes:

• •Custom gunsmithing – repair, modification, and performance enhancement
• •Cerakote and gun finishing – durable ceramic coatings and traditional bluing
• •Laser engraving – personalized markings and details
• •Suppressor manufacturing – hand-crafted, legally compliant units
• •Custom AK builds – fully customized rifles built to exact specs
• •FFL transfers – $30 transfers with fast processing

They also handle specialized contracts for law enforcement agencies and D.O.S. government/foreign government sales.

"When time is critical, we deliver without cutting corners."

Unlike most gunsmith shops with 4-8 week backlogs, The Armory advertises same-day turnaround on select services. This isn't marketing fluff—multiple reviews confirm they actually deliver fast. One customer needed a front sight installed on a duty pistol and walked out with it done before leaving the parking lot.

Customer reviews highlight specific projects: - Patriotic flag Cerakote on a 9mm fundraiser gun ("increased perceived value by hundreds of dollars") - Gold plating and scrollwork engraving - Slide refinishing with precision - AR and AK builds and repairs - Bore sighting and installation work

They maintain a collection of military weapons and gear that customers mention spending hours browsing—a museum-quality selection of historical firearms.
