A Look at Our Shop & Process
Our workshop is a controlled, professional environment designed to focus solely on gunsmithing and custom firearm creation. With no public range and no walk-ins, distractions are minimized, and safety is maximized.
Every project starts with a conversation. We’ll listen to your needs, walk through your options, and recommend a plan that fits both your goals and your budget. From there, we get to work—building, modifying, coating, or engraving your firearm to exact specs.
The Story Behind the Shop
Our roots run deep in firearm culture and craftsmanship. What started as a small operation focused on AR-style rifle builds has grown into a trusted name in custom Cerakote, engraving, and gunsmithing. With years of hands-on experience and an eye for detail, our founder has turned passion into precision.
We saw a gap in the market—between mass-produced guns and the kind of custom pieces that tell a story. That’s where Down Range Gunworks stepped in.

We stand firmly behind our work. From timely communication to legal compliance, trust is a non-negotiable part of how we do business.
