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.
