Who You Are:
- Experienced with 2011/1911 platforms
- Mechanically inclined—you probably love working on guns, bikes, cars, or engines
- Can read parts, feel tolerances, and make adjustments without a manual
- Detail-oriented with a passion for clean builds and smooth function
- Comfortable using hand tools, vises, jigs, and precision measuring equipment
- Self-motivated and proud of your craft
- Someone who thrives in a fast pace and every changing environment
Requirements:
- Prior experience as a gunsmith, armorer, or high-level firearm builder
- Must be 18+ with legal ability to work on firearms
