Lead Times (typical business days)

These are working-day estimates from when your parts and final artwork are received.

1. Cerakote Coatings

• Single color: 7–10 days (often faster; rush available)

• Multi-color / patterns: quoted after intake; add time for masking & cure cycles

• Re-coat after laser work: add 1–2 days

1. Laser Engraving / Marking

• If artwork is ready: 3–5 days

• If we design/clean up artwork: add design time (see “Artwork & Files”)

• Deep engraving: quoted after material review

1. Laser Porting (slide/barrel)

• No re-coat needed: 2–3 days

• With re-coat: about 5 days total

1. Stippling / Framework

• Standard patterns: 7–10 days

• Custom outlines/complex sets: quoted; may extend timeline

1. Pin & Weld (14.5" to legal length)

• Most jobs complete in ~2–3 days after inspection; timing depends on parts, alignment, and finish work.

Note: Timelines can shift with part condition, queue volume, curing windows, and approval delays. We’ll confirm your ETA on intake and update you if anything changes.

​

What drives price (all services)

• Surface prep & disassembly: seized hardware, prior finishes, polishing, de-grease time

• Masking complexity: multi-color, micro-details, stencils, fades, camo

• Material & geometry: steels vs. polymers, thin walls, heat sensitivity

• Artwork level: vector cleanup, redesign, test panels, proof cycles

• QC & reassembly: thread chasing, timing, alignment, torque, Loctite spec

• Rush: after-hours curing or line reprioritization

​

Artwork & Files

• Preferred: vector files (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) or high-res PNG (transparent).

• If you don’t have print-ready art, we can convert/clean it. Design time is quoted up front.

• NFA trust/info marks are sized to meet ATF spec (≥ 1/16" tall and ≥ 0.003" depth where applicable).

​

Shipping & Returns

• Local: drop-off/pick-up is fastest.

• Ship-in (non-NFA): UPS, FedEx, or USPS allowed.

• Ship-in (NFA items): UPS/FedEx only. Out-of-state NFA returns typically require a Form 5 transfer; we’ll advise during intake.

• Insurance & signature required on all shipments. Customer pays actual carrier costs; estimates include a 15% buffer for rate changes.

• We do not accept uploads of IDs or Forms on the website. After intake, you’ll email your Form 1/4 and a front image of your valid ID within 24–48 hours for ownership/address verification.

• We comply with all state restrictions; some states are not eligible for certain services or shipments.

(See the Ship-In Guide page for box/packing, labeling, and step-by-step.)

​

Quality & Warranty

• Every job includes QC checks before release.

• Finish wear from normal use is not a defect; we’ll advise best practices for care.

• If we spot an issue during intake (fitment, tolerance, prior damage), we’ll pause and contact you before proceeding.
