Installations/Assembly

We can install any type of accessory on your AR-15 rifle. Rail systems, gas blocks, re-barreling, and even complete upper assembly is no problem for our experienced gunsmiths.

We are extremely careful when handling customer firearms, so trust in us with your pride and joy.

Our prices are very reasonable, but depend on the status of your rifle, and the accessory you would like installed. Contact us today to get a quote for your installation needs today!

AWB Compliance

In certain state locations, civilians are required to abide by a similar set of laws that follow the old national Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) of 1994. These mandate that a post-ban rifle not include a bayonet lug, flash hider, threaded barrel, or collapsible stock. However, you may purchase an upper or a rifle from an out of state vendor, where these modifications may not have been performed.
