SERVICES - Firearms

Karhu Kustoms LLC operates as a full-service gunsmith shop handling everything from trigger refinement to complete firearm refinishing. Their work is specifically geared toward Alaska hunters and shooters who need finishes that won't fail in harsh brush and salt-spray environments.

They offer three distinct finishing options, each with specific advantages:

Cerakote - A ceramic-based finish available in 104 standard colors plus clear. It resists abrasion, corrosion, chemical damage, and impact. Cerakote blends to any sheen level and is suited for salty environments—think of it as tough as nails for serious hunting use.

DuraCoat - The latest firearm finishing technology with 145 standard colors plus clear. No preheating or baking required. Excels at salt corrosion resistance and works on ferrous metals, alloys, stainless steel, synthetics, and wood. Best for highly stylized, detail-oriented designs.

Powder Coat - An electrostatically applied dry powder finish with 6500 colors available. Works best on small parts—triggers, safeties, bolt handles, iron sights—that need to stand out.
