Gun Repair and Maintenance

Few things are more comforting—or more useful—than having a true expert at your call. That’s why Second Amendment Sports is proud to boast a professional, on-site gunsmith.

While it’s not unheard of for a gun shop to offer gunsmithing, the vast majority simply box up your firearm and mail it to a third party. Having a gunsmith present at our facility means quicker turnaround times, transparent communication, and more responsive service for you.

Whether you are buying a used gun and want it inspected, or purchasing a new rifle and want it fitted with accessories, you can schedule a consultation right at the counter.

Maintenance and Cleaning

For a high-quality gun to stay a high-quality gun, it requires meticulous care. A poorly maintained firearm not only runs the risk of malfunctioning, but it degrades the smoothness of the action and ruins accuracy. Regular cleaning is crucial to making sure your gun keeps working right and holds its value.

Capable of performing every aspect of routine maintenance—from giving a rifle barrel a thorough scrub down with a bore brush, to applying anti-rust lubricants, to detailing the recoil spring in an autoloading shotgun—our gunsmith gives your firearm the professional care it deserves.

  • Standard Hand Cleaning: A detail-oriented teardown, inspection, and cleaning of your firearm’s action, barrel, and critical components.

  • Ultrasonic Cleaning: For the highest level of care, we utilize an ultrasonic tank. Similar to the process used on fine jewelry, this places the disassembled gun in a special liquid chamber that cleans it using heat and high-frequency vibration, reaching microscopic carbon and debris that a brush simply cannot touch.

Repairs and Modifications

Sometimes a firearm just isn’t performing exactly the way you need it to. Whether an old favorite needs a mechanical repair, a vintage piece needs restoration, or a brand-new gun just needs a few tweaks to fit your hands perfectly, our gunsmith is here to help.

We invite you to make full use of our on-site technical expertise. If a gun is malfunctioning, we can diagnose and repair it to get it operating at peak performance. But you don’t need a broken gun to visit the gunsmith. If you like your firearm but feel something is just a bit “off,” we can perform the custom modifications you desire to make the gun truly yours:

  • Optics & Sight Installation: Have new pistol iron sights pressed in, or let us professionally level, torque, and bore-sight a long-range scope or red dot.

  • Ergonomics & Fit: Swap out grips on your handgun, install a new forend on your shotgun, or fit a precision chassis to your rifle.

  • Performance Upgrades: Drop in a crisp, match-grade trigger, upgrade your recoil springs, or enhance your tactical controls.

Whether it is an old friend you want fixed up or a new acquisition you want customized, our team will ensure it feels and functions like it was designed just for you.
