Diamond's Waco

Diamond S Waco isn't a newcomer to firearms. The founder spent 25 years as a peace officer before retiring and formalizing his skills as an armorer for Bushmaster, Mossberg, Sig Sauer, and Glock. He also completed the Sonoran Desert Institute's Firearms Technology - Gunsmithing certification course. That background matters when you're handing over a rifle for work.

• •Gunsmithing services - Custom work, repairs, and modifications
• •Cerakote finishing - Factory-certified ceramic coating in custom colors
• •Laser engraving - NFA-compliant and custom commemorative work
• •Class 3 NFA dealer - Licensed to handle suppressors, short-barrel rifles (SBRs), and short-barrel shotguns (SBSs)
• •NFA gun trusts - 50-state ATF 41F-compliant trusts prepared by Jim Willi (Gun Trust Guru)
• •Firearms sales and transfers - Including Class 3 items

Diamond S Waco works directly with NIC Industries (the makers of Cerakote) to source the strongest colors available. They don't just apply the coating—they've developed a proprietary preparation and cure process that makes the finish stronger than Cerakote's standard rating. They choose colors specifically for:

• •Corrosion resistance
• •Chemical resistance
• •Scratch and abrasion resistance
• •Impact resistance
• •Coefficient of friction

If you're a manufacturer already using Cerakote, they offer a challenge: send them the same parts you're currently having coated and compare the results against your best in-house products.

Every Class 3 transfer follows federal and state law. They guide clients through ATF paperwork and the tax stamp process without the confusion—whether you're buying a suppressor, SBR, or SBS.
