Armorer Services
Craftsmanship and Detail
Republic Outdoor is proud to offer Armorer Services for our customers. We work with JB Custom – Custom Manufactured Firearms, which is owned and operated by the talented Jim Breedlove. After working with JB for many years and seeing his work, both professionally and personally, we’re excited to provide this level of craftsmanship and detail that is nearly impossible to find elsewhere. JB’s experience spans more than twenty years, including being the Lead Instructor for the Marine Corps’ National Match, Special Operations, and Inter-Service Match Weapons, and being an Armorer for National Level Military and Intelligence Organizations requiring only the highest levels of workmanship. We’re proud to now offer that level of expertise and craftsmanship, whether it’s a minor change or a complete, specialized build.
All fees are “in-house”, and do not include shipping charges. Please contact us via our contact page or by phone, 1-844-763-2666, before shipping any weapon to us. Per ATF regulations, individuals residing outside the state of Virginia and desiring to ship their weapon to us for work, must ship their weapon via a licensed FFL dealer in their state. Once the work is complete, we are authorized to ship the weapon directly back to you. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions.
OUR PROCESS
We take pride and care of each weapon we receive in order to insure the highest customer satisfaction.
I couldn’t believe the craftsmanship! I’m constantly getting compliments on my rifle now. Plus, the whole process took less time than I thought.
~ Evan Young, Proud Custom Gun Owner
