Below you will find our lead times. THESE ARE ESTIMATES, SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL FOR UPDATES, JUST SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE OR EMAIL. We are not a retail store, all hands are on deck working, it wastes our time answering phone calls for updates when it can be answered through text/email. We always respond.

Please do not constantly contact us for an update if the lead time has not been reached. For example, if we tell you it is going to take 2-3 weeks, please do not contact us in 1 week asking for an update. Lastly, do not ask us for progress pictures. If we sent progress pictures to everyone that asked, we would be spending all day taking pictures.

– Optic cut with no coating/bluing is roughly 1-2 weeks depending on the type of firearm being sent. Single color Cerakote can add 1-2 weeks on top of this depending on the color chosen. Graphite black Cerakote gets ran the most from all the Cerakote options.

-Slide cuts/porting w/ single color Cerakote 2-3 weeks. Slide cuts on non Glock firearms (For example CZ) may take a little longer due to the complexity of cutting them.

  • Camo Cerakote or complex Cerakote jobs adds 2-4 weeks to the lead time.
  • Cerakote on barrels adds to the lead time as well. We polish the feed ramp after we Cerakote barrels. We don’t typically recommend Cerakote on barrels, the PVD options are better.

– PVD/DLC coating adds 2-4+ weeks to the lead time, AFTER WE ARE DONE WITH MACHINING YOUR PART. The bronze/rosegold color takes the longest since that is the least color that gets ran, so the facility has to build up the batch in order for it to be coated. We sometimes have to reject the parts if it does not meet our standards, so that means it has to get re-coated! Anyone that owns a business in this industry will agree on this, it is out of our hands since it gets sent off. You as the end consumer have not dealt with DLC/PVD the amount we do. Just because in the past you have sent it off and it got done quick, does not mean anything. We deal with many DLC/PVD vendors. If you are not willing to wait, do not choose DLC/PVD. Sometimes it could be done fast, sometimes it doesn’t. Again, every custom shop like us, sends their DLC/PVD off, no one does that in house.

-Long gun Cerakote jobs take 3-4+ weeks.

-Stippling jobs 2-3+ weeks.
