GUNSMITHING

We are proud to offer a range of gunsmithing services to our clients in Ramona and throughout San Diego County. Our services are affordable, and we will ensure that you will be informed of your options along the way. For current rates, send us an email, stop by during regular business hours or call (760) 789-4867 and ask for Gabriel. With an experienced gunsmith at the helm, we can assist with most common services including:

  • Basic and Deep Cleaning
  • Restoration
  • Cerakote
  • Diagnosis and Test Fire
  • Minor and Major Repairs
  • Scope Mounting
  • Boresighting
  • Sight Installation
  • and much more!

We now offer Cerakote!
Cerakote is a ceramic coating that can be applied to firearms for cosmetic improvements. Another benefit is that it can provide added protection to older firearms and those with more frequent use, such as concealed carry pistols or hunting rifles. Please visit our shop for information and samples of Cerakote projects our gunsmith has performed!

When bringing in a firearm for repair, please announce yourself at the door and only bring in your firearm if it is unloaded. If you are not comfortable bringing your firearm into the shop, or are unsure if it is loaded or not, we are more than happy to assist - leave your firearm in your vehicle and we will come out to you.
DOJ FIREARM SAFETY CERTIFICATE TEST SITE

Firearm safety certificates (FSC) are required in the state of California to purchase and own a firearm. To obtain an FSC, you will take a multiple-choice test to check your general firearm safety knowledge. Tests are performed in our shop and typically take around 15-20 minutes. Results are given right away, and cards can be issued at that time. (So long as the test is passed). Cards are valid for five years after issuance. Lamination is available on site.

A study guide can be found here. (English and Spanish guides are available.)

The state-regulated rate for the exam is $25. (As of Dec. 2021)
SPECIAL ORDERS
  • Because we work with several distributors, if you’re looking for something particular - whether that be a firearm, ammunition, gear, or other outdoor accessories - chances are we can find that exact item or something equitable!
  • Some manufacturers offer limited runs of special edition firearms to commemorate an individual, organization, location, squadron, etc. Some may also order these as fundraisers for their organizations or for a cause. If you are interested in learning more about this service, please email us.
  • We also offer a wish list program for items that aren’t available for the moment but may turn up in the future. Send us an email - let us know what you’re looking for!
SALES, CONSIGNMENTS & APPRAISALS
Looking to sell, trade in, or consign your firearm? We can help! Here's how it works:

SELL
We will evaluate the condition of your firearm and cross reference it with the Blue Book of Gun Values to determine a fair offer.

The trade off is that if we offer to buy your firearm, you will receive payment same day, and you will not have to wait potentially weeks for an auction to finish.

We sell your firearm in our brick and mortar store and promote it through our weekly newsletter. This options will allow you to ask for a higher price. Once sold, we will take a small percentage and send payment.

TRADE IN
We are more than happy to consider a trade-in offer when shopping for an in-stock item. Your firearm condition will be cross referenced with the Blue Book of Gun Values to determine a fair offer.

APPRAISALS
Your firearm condition will be cross referenced with the Blue Book of Gun Values to determine it's value in the current market. There is a small fee for this service. Written appraisals are available upon request.
ESTATES
It is our goal to make what can be a difficult time for individuals and families stress and worry free. Typically for this service, we come to your location to develop a detailed inventory.
