About Us

Masters of the Craft. Driven by Passion.

Caliber Gunsmithing & Repair was founded on a simple principle: a pure passion for the firearms industry. What started as an ambition to build better rifles has evolved into a premier gunsmithing shop serving nationwide and the surrounding Tri-State area.
Custom Shotgun

  • The Consultation

    It all starts with a conversation. We sit down with you to define the purpose of the firearm—whether it’s for high-stakes competition, long-range hunting, or personal defense. We guide you through selecting the premium actions, barrels, and chassis systems that fit your ergonomics and budget, ensuring the design matches your vision perfectly.

  • The Craftsmanship

    This is where metal meets mastery. We don't just bolt parts together; we use precision machining to true actions, cut match-grade chambers, and hand-fit components up to .0001 of an inch. From the internal mechanics to the custom Cerakote finish.

  • The Result

    Every custom build undergoes rigorous safety checks and function testing before it leaves our bench. When you take delivery, you aren't just getting a gun; you are receiving a tuned precision machine that is ready to perform the moment you pull the trigger.

Custom Barrels

Barrel Services

Accuracy starts at the muzzle. We utilize advanced precision lathes and tooling to ensure your barrel is perfectly concentric, harmonically balanced, and chambered to exact tolerances. Whether you are suppressing a rifle or chasing sub-MOA groups, our barrel work eliminates variables to ensure every shot counts.

  1. Precision Muzzle Threading We cut precise, concentric threads for muzzle devices and suppressors, ensuring perfect alignment to prevent baffle strikes and improve accuracy.
  2. Match-Grade Chambering We utilize high-quality reamers to cut chambers with exacting tolerances, optimizing bullet seating and maximizing the potential of your barrel blank.
  3. Target Crowning We recut or repair the barrel crown to ensure gas escapes evenly around the bullet base upon exit, a critical factor for consistent group sizes.
  4. Pin & Weld Services We permanently attach muzzle devices to bring shorter barrels to the legal 16-inch length, ensuring compliance with NFA regulations without sacrificing performance.
  5. Barrel Fitting & Headspacing We expertly fit new barrels to your action, setting the headspace to precise specifications for safe operation and optimal brass life.

Action Services

The action is the heart of your firearm, and factory tolerances often leave room for improvement. We specialize in blueprinting and tuning actions to ensure flawless cycling and perfect alignment with the bore. By removing inconsistencies and smoothing contact points, we turn standard actions into precision instruments.

  1. Action Blueprinting & Truing We machine the receiver face, threads, and locking lugs to be perfectly square with the bore centerline, eliminating factory misalignments that degrade accuracy.
  2. Glass Bedding We create a stress-free, perfect mold between your action and stock using industrial-grade epoxy, preventing movement and improving shot-to-shot consistency.
  3. Bolt Knob Conversions We machine your factory bolt handle to accept tactical or oversized knobs, providing better leverage for faster and smoother cycling.
  4. Trigger Tuning & Installation We polish contact surfaces or install aftermarket drop-in kits to eliminate creep and gritty travel, resulting in a crisp, clean break.
  5. Optic Mounting & Lapping We align and lap scope rings to ensure maximum contact with the optic tube, preventing scope slippage and damage under heavy recoil.

Cerakoting Services

Protect your investment with the industry’s leading ceramic coating. As certified applicators, we provide finishes that offer superior resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemicals compared to traditional bluing. From restoring a rusted shotgun to applying a custom camouflage pattern, we ensure your firearm looks as good as it shoots.

  1. Single-Color Refinishing We apply a monolithic layer of Cerakote in your choice of color to provide superior protection against abrasion, corrosion, and chemical damage.
  2. Custom Camouflage Patterns Our applicators create complex multi-color designs—such as Multicam, Woodland, or digital patterns—to blend your firearm perfectly into its environment.
  3. High-Temperature Coatings We use specialized C-Series formulations for suppressors and machine gun barrels, designed to withstand extreme heat cycles without discoloring or flaking.
  4. Micro-Slick Internal Coating We coat bolts, carriers, and internal friction points with dry-lubricant ceramic to reduce friction, improve cycling, and minimize the need for oil.
  5. Distressed & Battleworn Finishes We artistically layer and sand colors to create a "lived-in" aesthetic that gives your firearm a rugged, vintage look while maintaining modern protection.

Laser Engravings

Combine artistry with compliance using our state-of-the-art fiber laser technology. We deliver permanent, microscopic precision for everything from mandatory NFA Trust markings to custom stippling and intricate logos. Our engraving services ensure your firearm is legally compliant and uniquely yours.

  1. NFA Trust Compliance We engrave your name (or Trust name), city, and state to the specific depth and height requirements mandated by the ATF for SBRs and suppressors.
  2. Custom Logo Marking We can etch intricate unit crests, business logos, or custom artwork onto receivers, slides, and magazines for a truly personalized touch.
  3. Polymer Frame Stippling Using laser precision, we create aggressive texture patterns on polymer pistol frames to significantly improve grip traction in wet or sweaty conditions.
  4. Deep-Depth Serialization We provide permanent serialization for homemade firearms (PMFs) or custom builds, ensuring clear, legible, and legal identification markings.
  5. Personalized Text & Gifts We engrave inscriptions on knives, slides, tumblers, and plaques, making them ideal for commemorative gifts or special presentations.
