Timsmith Gunsmithllc

Tim Smith has been running this gunsmith operation in Georgetown, Texas for almost 10 years. This is a home-based business, which means you schedule an appointment before showing up—no walk-ins.

Professional Cleaning Service As of September 2025, Tim offers only his professional-level cleaning service: complete disassembly to parts level, ultrasonic cleaning, and full reassembly for $90 per firearm. He's moved away from basic cleaning services because his workload is solid enough that he can focus on the work that requires actual gunsmith expertise.

Firearm Repairs Tim handles general gunsmithing repairs. His blog posts show he understands the mechanics—he's written detailed breakdowns of revolver timing issues, malfunction diagnosis (failure to fire, extraction, ejection, and feed problems), and proper troubleshooting procedures.

FFL Transfers He's a licensed FFL dealer and handles firearms transfers. This includes managing the ATF Form 4473 process, background checks, and all the legal documentation. He's knowledgeable about federal law, state-specific transfer requirements, and shipping regulations.

Hours: - Mon-Tue: 10AM–6PM - Thu-Fri: 10AM–6PM - Sat: 12PM–6PM - Wed & Sun: Closed

Tim does NOT sell ammunition, and does NOT maintain inventory of firearms, parts, or accessories for retail sale. This is a service shop, not a retail store.

Tim clearly takes the educational side of gunsmithing seriously. His blog covers practical topics that matter to gun owners: how to properly describe firearm malfunctions to a gunsmith, the importance of revolver timing, firearm gifting laws and ATF requirements, proper gun storage, and manufacturer recalls (Mossberg SA-410, Henry .45-70). He's also PCI DSS compliant for payment processing.

He knows when to refer people to qualified professionals. For example, he specifically warns that revolver timing issues should only be corrected by a qualified gunsmith—not DIY work.

Schedule appointments through his website for: - Drop-off and consultation - Repair pick-up - General gunsmith work

Tim regularly points customers toward industry standards: NSSF resources, ATF information, Texas DPS guidelines, NRA, American Gunsmithing Institute, and reputable parts suppliers like Brownells, Numrich, Jack First Gun Parts, and Midwest Gun Works.
