Black Dog Gunsmithing

Black Dog Gunsmithing operates out of Anchorage with one core mission: Safety. Reliability. Performance. The shop is school-trained and equipped to handle the gunsmithing work that average gun shops won't touch.

Threading & Barrel Work - Cutting, crowning, and threading barrels - Barrel replacements - Drilling and tapping

Repairs & Diagnostics - Troubleshooting safety, reliability, or accuracy problems - Part repairs and replacements - Test firing and function checks - Sight installation and zeroing

Stock & Finishing - Refinishes and inletting - Recoil pad installation - Bedding work

Cleaning & Maintenance - Field-expedient cleaning through complete disassembly

"Relationships are built on trust and honesty. I am upfront about project costs and communicate effectively."

The owner brings both school training and professional experience working with customers. That's rare in gunsmithing. Transparency on pricing and timelines means no surprises when you pick up your work.

Black Dog also supports competitive shooting: they're proud sponsors of the Alaska Rifle Club and the NSAA Biathlon program.

The shop is currently accepting rush work (with a $150 expedite fee) or standard work on a waitlist. Turnaround depends on the queue—contact them for current timelines.

Location: 700 W 59th Ave, Suite G, Anchorage, AK 99518 (corner unit facing the Dowling Road overpass)
