Ra Dachs Gunsmithing

Radach's Gunsmithing is a family-owned shop built on the principle that Juneau shooters shouldn't have to mail firearms out of state for repairs or customization. Owner Chris is a 10-year Marine Corps veteran and infantry rifleman with six deployments (Iraq and Afghanistan). He's got the certifications to back it up.

General repair is their primary function at $125/hour labor. That covers everything from stuck rounds and bore obstructions to complete disassembly cleaning across pistols, revolvers, and long guns.

• •Field strip cleaning: $65–$175 depending on firearm type
• •Complete disassembly cleaning: $110–$350
• •Scope mounting and sight installation: $65–$120
• •Parts sourcing with 15–30% markup
• •Certified firearm appraisals: $65 per gun (or $125/hr for rare/antique research)

Custom assembly work from customer-supplied kits: AR-15, Glock, and 1911 platforms (1911 assembly coming soon).
