Custom Rifle & Pistol Builds in Wake Forest, NC

A good build starts with purpose. Not just parts. 

Whether you’re building from the ground up or refining something you already own, we take the time to understand how you run it, what you need it to do, and what matters most when it’s in your hands.

Then we match you with the right components — whether it’s a custom AR-15, a precision rifle, or a defensive pistol — assemble and balance the build for your purpose, and finish with a full service check: torque verified, optics leveled, and test-fired.

No shortcuts. No guesswork. Just a build that fits your mission and your standard, from a veteran-owned shop in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
