Black Goat Gunsmithing

Black Goat Gunsmithing is owned and operated by Keith Gautreaux, a disabled Army veteran who brings military discipline to every project. He's FFL licensed, Master Armorer 1911 certified, and a Cerakote specialist—which means he handles the technical work with the same precision that shaped his service.

• •Custom Builds – Rifles, pistols, and AR platforms tailored to your exact specs
• •Master Armorer 1911 Work – Specialized builds, repairs, and customizations for 1911 platforms
• •Cerakote Finishing – High-durability ceramic coatings for protection and custom aesthetics

No guessing games here. You start with a one-on-one consultation to discuss your vision, budget, and preferences. Keith provides a detailed estimate before any work begins—you know exactly what you're paying for. Your firearm goes through precision builds, testing, and quality inspection before delivery or shipping.

"Keith did an outstanding job on my custom AR build. The Cerakote finish is flawless and the attention to detail is incredible." — Mike R.

Custom gunsmithing shops often take forever or disappear mid-project. Keith focuses on quick turnarounds, clear communication, and collaborative design—meaning your build actually reflects what you wanted, not what was convenient for the shop.
