Firearm Cleaning Services in Wake Forest, NC
Reliability Starts with Maintenance.
Every firearm has a purpose. Maybe it protects your home. Maybe it wins matches. Maybe it was passed down from your grandfather. Whatever the reason, it deserves care.
At City Armory in Wake Forest, North Carolina, cleaning isn’t just maintenance. It’s part of the responsibility that comes with ownership. We break it down, clean it right, check for issues, and return it ready for the range or the safe.
Packages below are based on typical field-stripped firearms in normal condition. Excessive fouling, rust, or prior home “gunsmithing” may require additional shop time and a custom quote.

Add-Ons & Notes
- Heavily fouled or neglected firearms may incur an additional cleaning fee based on extra time required.
- Rust, pitting, or corrosion repair is quoted separately as part of our Armory Services.
- Optic mounting, sight work, and trigger installs fall under Armory Services, not standard cleaning.
- Multiple firearms in one visit may qualify for package pricing.
We reserve the right to decline work on unsafe or heavily modified firearms until they can be evaluated for safety.
How to Schedule a Cleaning
- Reach out. Call, email, or stop by with what you’re bringing in and how you use it (carry, home defense, hunting, competition, etc.).
- Pick the right package. We’ll match your firearm and use case to the handgun, AR/carbine, or bolt gun / shotgun package that makes sense.
- Get a clear estimate. We’ll confirm the work, any add-ons, and turnaround time before anything goes on the bench.
- Drop off your firearm. Bring it unloaded, cased, and we’ll tag it in with your contact info and service notes.
- We clean and inspect. We break it down, clean it right, check for issues, and re-assemble it correctly.
- Pickup and review. When it’s ready, we’ll walk you through what we found, what we did, and anything to keep an eye on.
