Celina Gun Shop

Established in 2013, Celina Gun Shop started small and grew into a trusted North Texas gunsmithing destination. They now operate out of a 1600 sq ft retail and shop space at 701 N Preston Rd in Celina (near Frisco, McKinney, and Gunter), equipped with a machine shop and staffed by certified professionals.

This is a gunsmith operation first. They specialize in:

• •Custom firearm builds: 1911s, AR-15s, AK platforms, and tactical shotguns. Whether you want mild or wild modifications, they'll handle it.
• •Precision machining: Barrel threading ($150), pin and welds ($75), RMR slide cuts ($175 including Cerakote), front cocking serrations ($90+), and slide porting ($90+).
• •Certified Cerakote coating: H-Series, C-Series, and Elite Series finishes for handguns, rifles, shotguns, and accessories. Prices range from $220 for a one-color handgun to $725 for a Barrett 50 BMG rifle.
• •NFA work: Digital fingerprinting, Class 3 dealer services, and NFA engraving (including laser engraving on other items).
• •FFL transfers: $65 per firearm ($40 for first responders/LEO with ID, $95 for Class 3 items).
• •Retail sales: Firearms, ammunition, and accessories.

They offer detailed Cerakote pricing for most firearm types:

• •H-Series (most common): Most durable standard option, heat-resistant to 500-600°F, widest color range.

• •C-Series: For high-temp applications up to 1700°F (suppressors, machine gun barrels), also used on optics since it doesn't require heat cure.

• •Elite Series: Maximum performance—9H hardness, 3000+ hour corrosion resistance, impact resistance of 160 in-lbs.

Beyond Cerakote, they handle precision machining:

• •Pistol slide RMR installs: $175 (includes Cerakote of the machined cut)
• •Barrel threading: $150
• •Pin and weld work: $75
• •Front cocking serrations: $90+
• •Slide porting: $90+

They'll also tackle custom 1911 fitting and lapping if needed, and can hand-fit parts after Cerakote if tolerance issues arise.
