AO Sword has almost 60 combined years of experience in gunsmithing everything from 1911’s to match-grade bolt action rifles, antique Smith & Wesson revolvers, and high-performance AR-15’s. Many dealers have one or more armorers, who can competently assemble AR-15’s and perform minor repairs on other firearms, but few offer full Gunsmithing services – and those that do generally contract out their gunsmithing to a part-time third party. AO Sword is owned by gunsmith David Chong, and our services are performed in-house.
We specialize in high quality, in-house Cerakote, an ultra-durable ceramic-based firearms coating. Cerakote is availale in dozens of colors, and oven-cures to a thickness of just 1-2 mils so that fitment is not affected. Unlike many quick-turnaround options from other vendors, our Cerakote process involves a complete teardown of the firearm, and hand prep of each individual component for maximum service life and finish quality. While this does take more time, our clients appreciate the aesthetics of full coverage, and the durability of properly prepped surfaces.
In order to serve our customers with quality gunsmithing services, we have our own precision mill, lathe, and other shop equipment. We routinely perform sight work, trigger work, stock bedding, chambering, cleaning, repairs, tapping, threading, and many other services.
