Payment types:
I accept Cashier’s check, money order, Visa or MC. At this time I do not accept PayPal. If you are in the NW Nevada area and can pick up your firearm in person, I also accept cash. 

Turn Around Time:  ! Update June 2020!
We try to get most jobs finished and returned within two weeks, however due to disruptions getting parts and materials caused by complications from the Covid-19 pandemic, turn around time for routine service and repair jobs is averaging 3-4 weeks. We are experiencing much higher than normal work volume, in part due to the general state of affairs in the country right now. In addition, depending on the a nature of the job, it may take a little or a lot longer. We do greatly appreciate your patience. Thank you.

Northern Nevada / California customers:
Due to higher ammo costs and variable availability, a repair may cost more or take longer. If you can provide the ammo for test firing, sighting-in, etc. you will save both money and time as I won't have to bill current retail prices and / or wait for odd caliber ammo. 
This, of course, only applies to customers who can drop their firearm off at one of my pick up locations as there are too many restrictions on shipping ammo.
