Service · Charlotte, NC

Gunsmithing. Repair.
Cerakote.

Bring it to the shop or ship it in. Our team handles optic and sight work, parts swaps, holster repair, and full Cerakote refinishing at our Charlotte storefront. Quotes are free.

01 / What We Service

Three lanes. One workbench.

Every job goes through the same hands. No outsourcing, no farming out. Work happens at the Harris Oaks shop.

01

Gunsmithing

Bench work on handguns, rifles, and shotguns. The day-to-day jobs that keep a defensive or competition gun running right.

  • Red dot & pistol optic mounting (RMR, Holosun, ACRO, SRO footprints)
  • Iron sight installation and regulation
  • Trigger work — drop-in upgrades and tuning
  • Deep cleaning and function diagnostics
  • Parts swaps — springs, guide rods, mag releases
  • Threaded barrel and suppressor-height sight installs
02

Holster Repair

Kydex is tough, not indestructible. Bring in any holster — ours or another maker's — and we'll get it back in fighting shape.

  • Re-riveting blown or loose hardware
  • Belt clip, loop, and wing replacement
  • Retention tuning — re-set screws, re-form pockets
  • Refit after AIWB / IWB carry wear
  • Re-form bent shells, repair stress cracks
  • Light, wedge, and claw add-ons
03

Cerakote

NIC-certified Cerakote applied in-house. Full firearm refinish, multi-color custom work, or individual parts only — slide, frame, barrel, controls.

  • Single-color firearm finish — 100+ stock colors
  • Multi-color masking, stencils, fades, patterns
  • Slide-only and part-only refinish
  • Full strip, sandblast prep, oven cure
  • Logo, name, and serialized engraving on request

↓ Full coverage typically 1–2 weeks. Partial work returns faster.

02 / Process

How it works.

Same flow for every job, whether it's a 30-minute optic mount or a two-week Cerakote build.

  1. STEP 01 01

    Drop off or ship in

    Walk it into the Charlotte store during business hours, or ship it in with a printed work request enclosed. Both routes get the same handling.

  2. STEP 02 02

    We assess and quote

    The shop inspects what came in, confirms parts on hand, and emails or calls back with a flat quote and an honest turnaround window. No work starts until you approve.

  3. STEP 03 03

    Work performed

    Bench time. Parts installed, holsters repaired, finishes prepped and cured. Everything is function-checked before it's signed off as done.

  4. STEP 04 04

    Pickup or return ship

    Stop by during store hours to collect, or we'll return-ship insured with signature required. Tracking goes out the day it leaves the shop.

03 / Pricing

Quotes are free. Turnaround is transparent.

Service pricing depends on scope — a quick mag release swap and a multi-color Cerakote build aren't the same job. Tell us what you've got and what you want done, and we'll quote it flat before any work begins.

04 / Get It To Us

Drop off or ship in.

Both routes work. Pick whichever fits your schedule.
