Look ma... no pins! Lol

I'm always looking for the best fit in our Way of the Gun - Precision Series r***e receivers because precision means repeatability should be a constant and a bad fit between receivers just adds another variable in the data.

Each upper receiver is paired to the lower receiver before it is ever completely milled and are then test fit throughout the rest of the build process to ensure a perfect fit between the receivers as well as the geometry of the rest of the components to get the maximum in performance and reliability. Built one at a time. Built with dedication to quality, accuracy, and durability. Built specifically for you.

Would've liked to have been able to refinish the wood on this one too, but it wasn't in the customer's plan. However, look at all that rust, dust and corrosion! GONE!!! And it won't be coming back!

Cerakote locks out moisture from the metals surfaces and prevents it from getting back in, as well as protecting the surfaces with superior chemical and abrasion resistance. Not to mention, it looks amazing!

This Wi******er is now refinished in a custom satin gun blue cerakote and restored to reliable working condition just with a little more durable exterior, meant to handle the elements in a way it just couldn't before.

The cell shading on this compact 2011 I recently finished up is giving off those 80's and 90's Saturday morning cartoon vibes!

Steampunk builder set I just finished up for a customer.

He said, "do whatever looks good." Then, after sending pictures, he comes to pick it up and said, "it looks even better in person." I love doing jobs like this one!
