Full description and what we offer
York Tactical started with a simple mission: provide quality gunsmithing and firearm services at prices that don't require a second mortgage. What began as a home-based operation in Tamaqua has grown into a full-service shop handling Cerakote, custom builds, repairs, and transfers—while staying family-owned.
The shop is a fully licensed FFL (Type 07), which means they can order firearms from major online retailers like CDNN, Sportsmans Guide, Classic Firearms, and GunBroker. Transfer cost is a flat $30 per firearm.
Cerakote is their bread and butter. It's a polymer-ceramic coating that bonds to steel, aluminum, plastics, and wood—offering abrasion resistance, corrosion protection, and hardness that beats competing coatings by wide margins. Their in-house testing documentation shows Cerakote protects steel 50 times better than competing coatings in salt spray testing.
They Cerakote firearms, knives, magazines, scope rings, and miscellaneous tactical gear.
