Gunsmithing with Pride

Clothey & Sons Gunsmithing is a family owned and operated business, devoted to increasing our customers’ enjoyment of their firearms. In much the same way that many people have a family doctor, we strive to be your family gunsmith. We hope to grow along with our customers as their understanding and appreciation of guns expand over the years.

We are different than most gunsmiths and our customers realize that as soon as they meet us. Our staff is friendly, courteous and always happy to help. Our workmanship and attention to detail is unparalleled, yet we are able to turn around work much faster than most other shops. This is because we have multiple professional gunsmiths on staff at all times, each of whom have honed their craft on a wide range of firearms.

“At Clothey & Sons, We Do it Right and We Do it Right Quick.” – “Doc”
