Full description and what we offer
East Coast Custom Firearms operates as a specialized gunsmith shop serving Myrtle Beach and customers nationwide. With 16+ years of hands-on experience, they're the only Cerakote Factory Certified Applicator in the Grand Strand area, combining formal gunsmith training with Glock Armorer and Certified Handgun Specialist certifications.
Cerakote Finishing is their signature service. They handle everything from handguns (starting at $200) to rifles (starting at $300), plus custom multi-color applications and stencil designs. Their Cerakote booth is fully operational with an introductory 5% discount for the first 20 customers.
They also restore firearms that most shops won't touch—like the Dan Wesson 357 Magnum revolver covered in rust and gouges, or the EDC Colt Government 380 that looked brand new after their strip-and-clean service.

Appointment-only service. No walk-ins. They prioritize quality over volume, which means controlled turnaround and attention to detail.
"As a small customer-oriented business, we need to balance meeting with our customers and providing quality craftmanship to the projects they trust us with."
They accept mail-in transfers and FFL transfers from across the U.S., with clear communication and documented specifications (torque specs, headspacing, etc.). Every firearm gets the same level of care regardless of source.
