What we do

Five things, done well

Each one has its own page with detail and pricing. If you're not sure what you need, call and we'll tell you straight — even if the answer is that you don't need us.

Gunsmithing & Repair

Diagnostics, repair, cleaning, optics, and trigger work — with machine work done in-house rather than sent out. Prices posted up front.

FFL Transfers

Bought online? Have it shipped here. $30 a firearm, we send our license to your seller, and you're called the day it lands.

Learn more →

Stock Work & Wood

Wood blanks, duplication of an original, custom stocks built from scratch, plus repair, refinishing and checkering. The part of the trade most shops dropped.

Learn more →

Selling & Consignment

We photograph it, write it up honestly, list it to a national buyer pool, and manage the sale. 17% commission, nothing up front.

Appraisals & Buying

Documented valuations for insurance or probate, whole-estate collections, and outright purchase if you'd rather be finished in one transaction.

Who you're dealing with

A trade passed down, not picked up.

Cross Arms opened in August of 2016, but the work behind it goes back a lot further than that. My grandfather started at sixteen and spent a lifetime at it. I grew up in this — it was the family trade long before it was my business, and I'm the one holding the license and standing at the bench today.

That matters for a simple reason: when you call, you're talking to the person who will actually be handling your firearm. Not a counter employee, not a call center. You get straight answers on what something's worth, how long a repair will take, and whether a transfer even makes sense before you commit to anything.

Every transaction is conducted in full compliance with federal, state, and local law. Required background checks and documentation are handled here, correctly, every time.
