How to Mail Your Gun to a Gunsmith
It is federally legal and straightforward to ship your firearm directly to our licensed facility for repair or customization. Here is how the process works:
Contact & Quote
Reach out to us with your project details (Cerakote colors, AR-15 build specs, etc.). We will provide a firm quote and a copy of our FFL.
Ship Securely
Pack your unloaded firearm securely. Per federal law, you can ship it directly to our licensed premises via UPS or FedEx (or USPS for long guns).
Direct Return
Once the Cerakote or custom gunsmithing is complete, we ship the firearm directly back to your home address. No FFL transfer fee required on your end.
Why Ship to Standard Issue Armory?
Local gun shops often outsource their Cerakote or lack the manufacturing capability to handle deep custom AR builds. By shipping directly to our facility, you gain access to manufacturer-direct pricing, high-temp oven-cured coatings, and precision gunsmithing.
- In-house H-Series & Elite Series Cerakote application
- Affordable, transparent pricing compared to expensive local boutiques
