Gunsmithing

Firearms Unknown offers full service gunsmithing services.  Everything from woodwork to machining services.  

John T. is our head gunsmith, having graduated from Colorado School of Trades he also has over ten years' experience.   He stands out with his quality work.  

While John is located at our Yuma location his services are offered via all of our stores.  As a customer all you need to do is drop off your gun at one of our four California locations.   

The drawback is that moving products from San Diego to Yuma keep us from allowing expedited services.  Does this mean we will have your gun for a year?  No, it does not.   What this means is that if you are looking to have a repair done quickly within a 4 week turn around, you are probably better off taking your gun to another gunsmith.  

The turnaround at our Yuma location is typically a few days to a week pending on when the gun was dropped off.  

Our rates are pretty simple.  $80/hr plus the parts.   

For estimates on how much a job will cost the gun will need to be left with us and we can call you with a rough estimate.   From there if you don't like our price, you can pick up your gun.   

Cerakote Services

Firearms Unknown is now a certified Cerakote applicator.   Customers can drop off their items at any one of our five retail locations for work to be performed.   

Pricing is on a case-by-case basis.  If you would like to bring your gun, knife or random for a Cerakote quote, please do!  We can coat just about anything!

Laser Engraving

We offer a wide array of laser engraving and etching services.  We have one 60-watt and two 20-watt fiber optic lasers.    As such, our laser engraving is limited to metal (Steel/Aluminum) products.   

It is common for us to laser firearms, knives, swords, machetes' and much more!
