IMPORTANT SERVICE INFORMATION
(aka “The Fine Print Nobody Reads Until Pickup Day”) 😏BEFORE YOU DROP OFF YOUR FIREARM…
We believe in honest pricing, quality work, and no surprises — except maybe discovering what Bubba did to your rifle before it showed up here. 🎯Translation: if your cousin installed it with a YouTube tutorial and a butter knife, we may need a little extra bench time. 🎯
We like transparency around here, so here’s the deal:
• Parts cost extra unless otherwise stated.
• Bring your own ammo for range sight-in services.
• Some optics and aftermarket installs may require additional labor charges.
• All firearms are inspected before work is approved.
* A $13.79 Shop Service Fee will be added to all gunsmith services.
Also… if your firearm arrives in a grocery sack held together with duct tape and mystery screws, don’t panic — we’ve seen worse. 😏🎯 ASK us about the Kitty Litter Guns!
