RCAD GUNSMITHING & Custom ammo development

   I can do most any repair on Firearms of any kind. I can do bluing of parts and whole firearms. Most restorations I do are firearms that have more  sentimental value than market value and that makes them special to the  owners and worth the cost of the restoration. I have been working on firearms most of my life, professionally since 2015. Just send me an email with your contact information and what services you need and I will get back to you with a price and timeline. Thank you.
