Full description and what we offer
TGX LLC is a custom gunsmithing shop in Calhan specializing in high-end Cerakote finishing, laser engraving, and custom builds. Started in October 2024 by two friends—Garrett and Justin—they've built a reputation for turning standard firearms into head-turning, personalized pieces.
Cerakote Finishing is their bread and butter. They apply polymer-ceramic composite coatings that improve abrasion resistance, corrosion protection, and durability while adding custom aesthetics. They handle:
- •Handguns (slides, frames, barrels, small parts)
- •AR-15s and AR pistols (receivers, uppers, lowers, handguards, BCGs)
- •Bolt-action rifles (receivers, barrels, stocks, bolts, scopes)
- •Shotguns (receivers, barrels, stocks, forends)
Custom patterns like multi-cam and Kryptek are available—each additional color beyond the base coat runs $65.
| Component | Price |
|---|---|
| Handgun slide or frame | $90 |
| AR lower receiver | $90 |
| Bolt-action receiver only | $120 |
| Shotgun receiver + barrel | $220 |
| Small parts (each) | $15 |
| Disassembly/reassembly fees | $75–$90 |
Clean your firearm before drop-off. Dirty guns destroy their degreasing acetone—if they have to replace it, that's a $100 charge. They're not trying to be difficult; they just can't swap 10 gallons of acetone per project.
- •Laser engraving including NFA-compliant work
- •Gunsmithing for uncommon weapon systems (hourly rate)
- •In-house range for testing and shooting
- •Custom builds with attention to detail and performance
They describe themselves as "paint-covered, caffeine-fueled," and their mission is clear: make every gun as bold and unique as the person who owns it. Safety and skill come standard at their range—so does a little friendly competition and a good laugh.
