Full description and what we offer
Down Range Gunworks is a veteran-backed gunsmith operation focused on building custom AR-platform rifles and providing specialized firearms services. Located at 39241 Warrique Road in Ivor, the shop operates strictly by appointment—no public range, no walk-ins, no mass production.
Their core work centers on AR-15 and AR-10 custom builds tailored to the shooter's needs:
Every build is hand-assembled in-house, tested for function, and delivered ready to shoot.
Gunsmithing & Repairs They handle AR-platform work including trigger jobs, gas system tuning, BCG upgrades, muzzle device installation, and general function testing. They also perform limited gunsmithing on non-AR firearms by request.
Cerakote Finishing Applied in-house using professional-grade techniques, their Cerakote work offers corrosion resistance, durability, and custom aesthetics. Common finishes include Flat Dark Earth, OD Green, tactical gray, blackout, camo patterns, and patriotic designs.
Precision Engraving NFA-compliant receiver engraving for SBRs and suppressors, plus custom work including names, unit patches, logos, and monograms. Engraving pairs well with Cerakote for a complete personalized build.
"At Down Range Gunworks, we're more than a firearms shop—we're a dedicated, veteran-supported team of craftsmen focused on precision, safety, and Second Amendment rights."
The appointment-only approach means: - Focused, one-on-one service with no distractions - Privacy and professionalism throughout the process - Time for detailed consultations and custom planning - Professional workspace optimized for gunsmithing, not retail traffic
Down Range Gunworks regularly appears at Virginia gun shows including the Richmond Gun Show, Hampton Roads Gun & Knife Expo, Virginia Beach Sportsman's Show, and Chesapeake Gun Show. At their booth, you can:
