Stop settling for "basement" finish jobs. Get factory-level quality from a local pro with over 10 years of experience in firearm design, production, and custom builds.

I am a licensed 07 FFL / 02 SOT in Appleton. I spent a decade responsible for the design and production of new firearms and accessories at the manufacturer level. Now, I bring that high-end expertise to my own shop, providing custom gunsmithing and precision Cerakote for the Fox Valley.

Why Choose My Shop?

  • Experience: 10+ years in firearm manufacturing and design.

  • Legitimacy: Fully licensed FFL/SOT—your property is handled legally and professionally.

  • Quality: I do all the work myself. No shortcuts.

  • The "Rescue" Service: Did a previous DIY job go wrong? I specialize in stripping and fixing bad Cerakote or hydro-dipped finishes.
