2023 Price Guide

Below are our current prices of services for 2023. As not all jobs are the same, there may be some variance in price once we have inspected your firearm and discussed the proposed works to be done with you. 

​

Dealer Services:

  • Firearms Transfers and Registration - $25/firearm

  • Firearms Storage - $5/week or $20/month per firearm

​

Metal Refinishing:

  • High Polish Hot Salt Bluing and Express Rust Bluing for a complete firearm– starting at $500.

A high polish finish requires more labour time in metal preparation with hand polishing and creates a brighter blued finish. This looks nicer on classic firearms and gives the metal a nicer shine than paint finishes or the Practical/Basic finish

​

  • Express Rust Practical/Basic Refinish for a complete firearm – starting at $250 for bead blasting and bluing

​

This creates an appearance like Parkerizing with the bluing coming out a darker shade of grey rather than a black/blued finish. This finish looks quite nice and fitting on military rifle restorations where you don’t want a high polished finish.

​

  • Individual parts such as barrel bands, scope rings, magazines etc from $40, discounts applied to multiple parts

​

All parts are hand polished before the bluing process is commenced so prices may vary depending on the size of the firearm, number of parts and the condition of parts. A final quote can be provided after we inspect the firearm and discuss with you what we can do to restore your firearm.

We purchase rifle barrel from Swan Barrels in QLD and have had excellent results with their chrome molly and stainless-steel barrels for hunting and competition shooting. We are happy to help you place an order for a pre chambered and contoured barrel and we will do the final fit and finish in our workshop. This saves you the cost of shipping your firearm interstate and back, and we can refinish the metalwork on the firearm in a blued finish or with Cerakote or Duracoat. Discounts apply to refinishing metalwork on rebarrelled firearms.

​

For other gunsmithing tasks not listed the shop rate is a minimum $50 or $75/hr and will be quoted on inspection of the firearm and proposed works.
