Custom Firearm Orders Built to Your Exact Specs
At Down Range Gunworks, our gunsmithing services combine traditional craftsmanship with modern performance standards. Located in Ivor, Virginia, we serve firearm owners who expect precision, reliability, and a private, focused experience. From functional repairs to complete performance upgrades, we handle every firearm with care, expertise, and legal compliance.
Our Approach to Gunsmithing
As an appointment-only shop, our gunsmithing services are not rushed or mass-produced. Each firearm is evaluated and worked on individually, allowing us to focus on:
- Detailed diagnostics and part inspections
- Expert mechanical work on AR-platform rifles
- High-performance upgrades for improved reliability and accuracy
- Safe and compliant modifications tailored to your goals
Whether you’re preparing for a hunt, upgrading a home defense rifle, or maintaining a collector piece, we’ll treat your firearm as if it were our own.
The team at Down Range go above and beyond to make sure you find what’s right for you!! What a great experience and customer service!!! Thank you John and Bill
