Guardian Gun Works is a full-service firearms workshop, training center, and retail hub built on precision, safety, and real-world experience. As a licensed FFL and the only certified Cerakote applicator in Rockland County, NY, we blend old-school gunsmith craftsmanship with modern machining, optics work, and customer-forward services. Whether you’re a collector, a competitor, a first-time firearm owner, or a dealer needing reliable transfer and listing support, we do the work right — clean, compliant, and done to last.

Our mission

We exist to keep firearms safe, functional, and beautiful while helping owners understand their guns and their legal responsibilities. Excellent gunsmithing and honest service lower the risk of accidents, improve performance and longevity, and increase confidence for responsible owners. We teach, we restore, we customize, and we make complicated legal and logistical processes simple for our customers.

Everything we do — full services list (detailed)

Below is a thorough, customer-facing description of every core service we offer so visitors to our website or shop know exactly what to expect.

Gunsmithing & Precision Work

Full diagnostic repairs for pistols, rifles, and shotguns: we isolate failures, propose cost-effective fixes, and carry out precision repairs to factory or better standards.

Trigger jobs & action tuning: consistent pull weight, reset tuning, and safety-system checks to improve performance and reliability.

Barrel work: crowning, chambering, threading, barrel swaps for caliber or tactical needs, and accuracy/cushion tuning for match use.

Slide work & optic cuts: MOS, RMSc, RMR, and other micro-optic footprints; slide milling, lightening cuts, serration work, and dovetail/sight fitting.

Stippling & grip mods: custom stippling patterns, checkering, and ergonomic reshaping for carry, competition, or comfort — done cleanly and with an eye toward resale value.

Machining & fabrication: in-house milling and lathe work for custom parts, barrel extensions, compensated devices, or one-off fixtures.

Restoration & sympathetic repairs: wood refinishing, metalwork, bluing where appropriate, and careful cosmetic restoration for collector pieces.

Reliability testing & break-in: bench checks and, when applicable, controlled live-fire testing to validate repairs and upgrades.

Certified Cerakote Finishes & Surface Work

Professional Cerakote application: full prep (media blasting, masking), multi-stage Cerakote application, and proper curing for durable, corrosion-resistant finishes. (We are Rockland County’s certified Cerakote applicator.)

From concept to completion: we source parts, assemble custom builds, and perform final tuning and QA.

Optics & sighting solutions: optic cuts, mounting, co-witnessing, suppressor-height sights, and sight selection advice.

Performance upgrades: match barrels, threaded barrels, comps, triggers, and durable carry upgrades.

Suppressor and muzzle device work: threading, alignment, and permanent sight adjustments.

Stippling, Cerakote & Finish Combo Packages

Turn-key packages that combine stippling, Cerakote, and slide cuts so you leave with a fully upgraded, ready-to-shoot firearm.
