Their approach goes beyond simple refinishing—every project receives the combined metalworking experience of their entire gunsmith team, with every detail examined and executed to match original specifications across different makes and decades.

• •Color Case Hardening — One of the earliest steel-hardening methods, creating a distinctive hard surface with beautiful colored carbon patterns unique to each firearm.

• •Charcoal Bluing — Produces a blue-black glossy, hard-wearing finish. High-polished parts achieve a mirror-like result.

• •Rust Bluing — A time-intensive process practiced by only a few master gunsmiths. Creates a softer blue-black finish that's extremely durable.

• •Nitre Bluing — Creates vibrant colors, best suited for screws and pins that experience movement and wear.

• •Gun engraving services with a standardized library of designs
• •Custom woodworking on stocks and furniture
• •Conversions and upgrades on classic firearms
• •Metal refinishing on new manufacture—they can age modern firearms to look period-correct
