Four things we do well.

Federal firearms transfers, customization & bench work on what you already own, laser engraving and NFA serialization, and outfitting on request — we don't stock every layer and pack on the wall, but our suppliers do, and we'll get it for you at pass-through pricing.

01

Send it here

FFL Transfer.

Bought a firearm online from another dealer, gun show, or private sale across state lines? It can't ship straight to you — federal law says it goes to a licensed dealer first. That's us. We receive it, log it, run the Virginia State Police background check at our counter, and put it in your hands.

Bring photo ID. Most checks clear in minutes.

How it works

01

Pick our shop at checkout

03

Come pick it up

Bring photo ID. We run the check at the counter. Most clear in minutes.

On your own arm

Customization & bench work.

Drop your firearm off; we'll text when it's ready. Optic mounting and zeroing, sight installation, trigger work, stippling, cerakote, light builds, and bench assembly. We do clean, conservative work — if you want something exotic, ask first.

Marked, logged, legal

Laser engraving & NFA serialization.

In-house fiber laser. Personalization on receivers, slides, knives, and small metal goods — initials, unit insignia, dedications, plate carrier nameplates, ID tags. Clean lines, the right depth for the substrate, no scorch.

We're also set up for NFA serialization — the engraving requirements that come with a Form 1 build (SBR, suppressor, AOW, etc.). Maker, city & state, serial, caliber: at minimum 0.003″ deep and 1/16″ tall, in compliance with 27 CFR §479.102. We'll cut the file with you, confirm placement, and mark it correctly the first time.

$35 per marking / per marked surface · most jobs same-week

What we'll engrave

· Lower receivers (Form 1)
· Suppressor tubes / end caps
· Slides & backstraps
· Knife handles & blades
· Plate carrier nameplates
· Dog tags / med tags
· Magazines (baseplates)
· Tools, flashlights, hard cases
04

On request, not on shelves

Outfitting.

We don't carry every pack, layer, knife, and headlamp on the wall — that's not what we are. What we have is a stack of supplier accounts and a willingness to use them. Tell us what you need; we'll source it and pass through wholesale with a small handling fee.

This is good for: built-out load-outs, hard-to-find sizes, technical kit you want to handle in person before you commit, and anyone who'd rather order through a small shop than feed another marketplace.

Pass-through wholesale + 10% handling · usually beats retail · 1–3 weeks delivery

Categories we source

· Packs & bags
· Layers & insulation
· Boots & footwear
· Headlamps & lights
· Knives & multi-tools
· Sleep systems
· Stoves & cookware
· Hearing & eye pro
· Range bags
· Cleaning kits
· Holsters & belts
· Hard cases

If you've got a brand or specific SKU in mind, send it. We'll tell you in a day if our suppliers carry it and what they want for it.
