These two AR rifles were done in the shop’s custom Paper Mountain camo. Tom explained that these are two very different designs the shop creates, both giving a custom marble effect. The grey, white and brown tones blend and layer into each other, looking more like stone or crumpled paper than a traditional woodland pattern….
“Now this HM Defense custom built rifle is what little girls’ dreams are made of,” Tom wrote. It started as a stock HM Defense rifle before the shop remade it. Tom changed out a few parts for custom AR items, then stripped it down and coated it in Sig Pink and Graphite Black inside and…
A full custom Glock with a Star Wars stormtrooper design. Tom cut ports in one side of the slide and a slight futuristic design on the other side. The pistol is done in white with red accents, and an RMR was added. Tom joked that it makes this one of Darth Vader’s favorites. Asymmetrical machining,…
A beautiful Springfield XDS with a Tiffany Blue slide and a Graphite Black frame. This combo flips the usual layout, putting the bright color on top. The blue slide catches the eye, while the black frame keeps the pistol grounded. The XDS is slim and easy to carry, and this two-tone gives it personality. Putting…
Tom cut the RMR for this Smith & Wesson M&P slide, then cut ports in the front. After that, a fresh coat of Cerakote cleaned everything up and made it flow together nicely. Cutting an RMR pocket lets the owner mount a red dot directly on the slide, which keeps the optic low and close…
Tom and the shop did several custom Stihl chainsaw designs on Mossberg “chainsaw” 12-gauge shotguns, and he said they turned out beautiful. The shotguns wear Stihl’s signature orange and white, the same colors you’d see on a chainsaw at the hardware store. The Mossberg models they’re built on feature a chainsaw-style top handle, which makes…
This Para 1911 compact was in horrible condition when the customer’s father removed it from the safe after years of storage. It needed to be completely gone through and refinished. Tom stripped it down, cleaned up the worn and damaged finish and refinished it in black, and the before-and-after photos show a dramatic change: from…
“These twins came out just beautiful,” Tom wrote. An AR-15 and a pistol finished to match in Burnt Bronze and black. Burnt Bronze brings a warm, metallic tone, while black adds contrast and keeps things tactical. Using the same color scheme across both guns makes them look like a true matched set. Matching a rifle…
Tom called this “one of the coolest outcomes I have experienced.” The revolver was in terrible shape when it came into the shop. It was basically a complete strip-down and refinish job. Every part came off, the old damaged finish was removed, and the revolver was refinished in Graphite Black. The result looks clean, even…
A custom Glock in the iconic Harley theme: orange, black and white with the bar-and-shield logo. Any rider would spot this one from across the room, long before reading the logo. The Harley theme comes from the motorcycle world, and riders love seeing it on their gear. Orange, black and white were applied in separate…
