The Gunsmith at Sportsman's Warehouse

The Gunsmith at Sportsman's Warehouse operates through all store locations with direct shipping available nationwide. Their team consists of handpicked professional gunsmiths with over 34 years of combined experience and formal gunsmithing degrees from Trinidad State College and Yavapai College.

Unlike many shops that specialize into narrow niches, they handle all firearm types:

• •Metal Finishing: Bluing, re-bluing, Belgian bluing, case hardening, plating, Parkerizing, engine turning, checkering, and full restoration
• •Cerakote Ceramic Coating: Certified applicators for handguns, long guns, and accessories
• •Barrel & Action Work: Threading, crowning, headspace, re-barreling, trigger jobs, muzzle brakes, bolt handle replacement
• •Sights & Scopes: Bore sighting, range sight-in, drill & tap, night sights, fiber optics, scope mounting
• •Handgun Tuning: Revolver action work, semi-auto modifications, trigger jobs, safety fitting
• •AR & MSR Work: Gas port tuning, gas block installation, barrel extensions, pin & welds, maintenance rebuilds
• •Shotgun Work: Forcing cone lengthening, chamber polishing, choke modifications, barrel straightening
• •Stock Work: Refinishing, glass bedding, recoil pad installation, reshaping

A gunsmith works on guns like a mechanic works on cars. They perform repairs, renovations, refurbishing, and restorations. An armorer mostly replaces worn parts. Gunsmiths have formal education and experience across the full spectrum of firearm work.

Finding a good gunsmith is hard. Many shops won't touch certain firearm types, or have 9-month backlogs with no contact. This shop aims to meet everyone's needs—whether you want a custom build, an ultralight mountain rifle, a carry gun dehorned, or an antique brought back to operational condition.
