West Coast Gun Works

Natalie and her team worked very hard to make my pistol exactly the way I wanted it. She was very open with communication when lead time was going to be extended, and I am extremely pleased with their products!

Natalie and Mike are good to go! Had them do work on a LWRC and ACR, Mike did a great job.
It’s a small shop so lead times can take a few weeks for custom work.

I have had 2 AK-47’s brought here for repairs & upgrades. My GF has been nice enough to drop off/​pick up & coordinate the repairs and upgrade work. She is a new shooter & felt a little intimidated with her new responsibility of finding a new gunsmith on her own. The owner & his wife were super helpful & really nice on her 1^st visit to their shop & every visit after. There are lots of really cool people in the firearm community & West Coast Gun Works further proof of that.
Pro’s– Excellent Work (craftsmanship), Fast Turn Around Time (while she waited last time), Customer Service is Genuine, Helpful to offer options & their expert advice
Neg’s– Sounds Lame, but I can’t think of any?
The owner & his employees have to be firearm enthusiast themselves. I am stoked to find these guys. Give them a shot! (Pun was intended)

I needed my sights swapped out on one of my handguns & didn’t have the tools to do it. I also didn’t want to screw anything up, so I took to Unilocal to find a gunsmith to do it for me. I found one close by in LA that wanted me to make an appointment, drop it off and then have to come back later for $ 40. I found West Coast Gun Works in which I called and was told they could drop in and have it done in about 20 minutes. They would only charge $ 30. Needless to say, I stopped in and was helped right away. I took a quick call outside and came back in and my sights were installed and ready to go. Overall, a great experience and would highly recommend them

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Great service. This will be the first gunsmith I think of when my guns need work. Thanks again West Coast Gun Works!

Great place! Took my AR-​15 in for a barrel job, and also to check headspace and timing. Lady at the front desk told me it would be done before the end of the day, and quoted a fair price. I went ahead and left my rifle. Fast forward 3 hours, to my surprise I get a call, and my rifle is ready for pick up on the same day. I was actually expecting to pick it up the next day because I overheard that the gunsmiths were busy fixing replica rifles. Definitely will be back, and also recommend others to this gunsmith.

Great work, comparable prices and friendly service. I would recommend this place to anybody. Thanks for the same day repair!

Great work. Great people. I love Odin the shop pup!
My husband surprised me by having Mike customize my Glock. The stippling is beautiful and clean. Can’t wait to fire my baby!

Took my G23 in because it was misfiring, quick fix by Mike. Decided to get trigger work and 9 mm conversion barrel while I was in. Trigger work, excellent. As soon as conversion barrel came in they scheduled me in and fitted it. Mike and Natalie were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend West Coast Gun Works.

Helped install the dovetail mount for a Burris FastFire on a Beretta Vertec. Also by the look of the shop, they can do a lot more.
Will be coming back for sure.
Fast and professional.
Thanks again!

First Impressions are everything. Natalie greeted us as we entered and was very nice& helpful. The folks in the back work area seemed to enjoy what there were doing.
We brought in a Colt 1911 9 mm that needed some TLC (rust removal and clean up). She explained the process of cleaning her up. The cost was less expensive than I had expected.
We had decided to get it coated as well. Natalie helped us by explaining how it worked and showed us an example. When I mentioned I’d eventually like to «trick her out» she stopped us and got Mike. Mike explained that we could coat it, but when we did upgrade it, we would probably have to coat it again; better to do the work first then coat once.
He showed me his 1911 and we discussed all the upgrades and he took our email to send me a list of that things I’d said I’d like to do.
I told him time was not an issue. He said it would be one to two weeks for the cleanup since there was no rush.
I’ll update when we get the 1911 back with results.
Update 1: Just got an email with pics of the cleaned up 1911 and an invoice.
Under $ 100 to remove all the rust and replace a parts that were beyond saving. That is significantly cheaper than some other local gunsmiths who are not open on weekends.
Mike also sent me an invoice for upgrade parts I am thinking of adding to make her more fun.

Please stop lying to me, I can take the truth and either way I’ll still think you’re incompetent.
Took my converted Saiga in on 6÷27÷15 to get the lower cerakoted in black. Been working on this project for 6 months because the Timbersmith furniture in Red was out of stock everywhere. But all that patience paid off. I was ” «this close to finishing the project.
I ask Mike how long it’s going to take to get this AK cerakoted and i say 7 days? He says no it won’t take more than 4 – 5. I went on a trip the following weekend and on 7÷8÷15 (11 days Later) I call them to make sure it was ready to pick.
The lady answers the call and tell me that they were not happy with how the finish came out and wanted to re-​shoot it. She said it was going to take another 5 days. (if it only took 5 days, why reshoot it on the day i call to check on the status) (LIE #1). I tell her ok, no problem. She tells me it’ll be ready first thing Tuesday morning the 14^th (LIE #2). So i show up about an hour or two after they open and it’s not ready. Mike tells me to come back, and i tell him that it’s an hour drive and I won’t be able to come back for another 2 weeks. He says ok, wait here and let me see if i can get a guy to pick it up. I wait an hour and it finally gets there.
The Cerakote job is SUB-​PAR, the finish has lumps, and is not quite even. Doesn’t seem like they prepped the AK properly before shooting it. Mike asks me if everything is ok and I point to the barrel and tell him «YOU DIDN’T PIN THE BARREL before cerakoting the AK?» I have Cerakote on the feed ramp and inside the barrel (POOR FORM). He says that the guy that did it should have known better and offered to polish it, but by now, i’m irritated and decided to take the gun as is.
As soon as i get home i noticed that the sights were not on the gun. I immediately call Mike and ask him if he could just put it in the mail for me, since i live over an hour away. He says «sure no problem.» On 7÷23÷2015, 13 days after he was supposed to send me the sights, i called WestCoast and the lady picks up. I ask her about the AK sights that were supposed to be shipped to me and she says «oh it’s right here, can i get your address again, it seems like it was returned.» (LIE #3). I give her my address and she says «Mike just missed the last digit, so it came back.» I told her that it was fine and she told me it would go out that day.
1 Week later on 7÷31÷2015 i call them and ask about my missing sights. Mike tells me that it was shipped and it should be getting there any day now. (LIE #4)
Over a week later on 8÷11÷15, i call Mike and he tells me that he’ll ask the person who shipped it for the tracking number and get back to me. I don’t get a call so i call back on 8÷12÷15.
This time he tells me that he needs to look for it and that i should call back for the tracking number. Another week passes 8÷18÷2015, i call Mike and he tells me that he has 3 customers in front of him and that he’ll call me back. I leave my number and he doesn’t call back.
And finally on 8÷19÷2015, I call Mike, he tells me that he just got through the door at 6:30PM!(LIE #5) and that he’ll look for the tracking, he puts me on hold for 35 MINUTES!!! and never calls me back.
Tonight, im on the phone with my credit card company to get money back for these sights.
I say this is way too much trouble for a sub-​par, grainy and unprofessional cerakote job. Stay away from this company. Don’t let their fake smiles and lies fool you, this is a truly incompetent and unreliable company.
Unilocalers, read the hidden reviews and you’ll see the true nature of this company.
Mike, don’t bother calling me, you had your chance, it’s been close to 2 months. You’ll be getting a letter from my bank.

Excellent customer service. Mike and Natalie are cordial, honest, and reliable. I was referred to West Coast Gun Works by Bob Daly. I had some work done on a firearm that would misfeed and stovepipe ammo on my new pistol. On top of that, Mike adjusted the sights on the firearm out of courtesy as I was picking up my firearm. The repair price was reasonable and came out to less than I thought it would. I would definitely refer them to anyone looking for gunsmithing.

I came in today to start my Dros, from a FFL transfer from Aero Precision. Spoke with Mike for a min. or two in regards to a questionable LPK. Natalie is an absolute Rockstar. This was not my 1^st visit here. Thanks Mike and Natalie for your excellent customer service. My son loves his stickers!

I didn’t know this place existed until yesterday when I was on my way to another gun store in Stanton and I searched for gun stores in Apple maps and this place showed up and was closest to my work. I was looking for a shotgun with very specific features. Mike showed me his shotgun (absolutely no pun intended) and I decided to go a similar direction, plus a couple mods. On top of being a gun and accessories dealer, WCGW also does a lot of gunsmith work and also cerakotes gun components. So I decided to further customize my new gun. When I finally receive this gun, after the 10-​day cool down period, or the time in which my supposed kindled anger against my neighbor will subside (even though I already own four other guns so if I wanted to commit a crime, I could), it will be the perfect shotgun for me. I am very happy I happened upon this place.

Finally a gunsmith that doesn’t care to sell you garbage! Mike is straight up and deserves to be recognized for the class act business they operate. I bought 2 Apex triggers for my M&P’s and they installed them at no charge! If you purchase the triggers from them they will install them at 0… Plus they did other things to smooth out my action & make my M&P run flawlessly! At no charge! You can’t get that on Amazon or eBay… Keep rocking guys!

ABSOLUTELY the BEST Armorer around! Mike & Natalie are Honesty the Best people !!! (was referred to them by FT3 staff)
Personable, Knowledgeable, Honest, Friendly — Customer Service & Execution of Customization/​Repairs for the customer @ a Fantastic Price !
Have had work done on my Glock 19 — Custom Trigger which is So Sweet (had someone else install a well known «triangle «brand that dangerously went full — auto) Mike removed it while I waited so I could return it, took time for custom trigger kit to arrive, but very much WORTH the Wait… had some additional items added as well,
Then I had my G21sf tricked out as an early Bday present to myself, cerakote w/​ghost flames in custom purple, trigger bar, pin, springs, zev tech extd mag release, stainless pins, Ameriglo sights, extd slide release. .WOW, a 1 of a kind personalized weapon (see picture here & on instagram)… THANKS AGAIN Mike & Natalie 》》》》 next up the Mossberg 500 Persuader

These guys are GREAT! After over 30+ years of shooting pleasure one of my most prized treasures, a Colt Python. 357 6″ Blue, had a problem. The hand assembly had worn down enough that the tip broke. Finally found a non-​Colt replacement at Numrich. Only problem was that Colts have such tight tolerances it had to be tooled down to work.
Queue the hero music! Mike to the rescue… he took it in and smithed the part down to work beautifully in my Python. Does excellent work, answered all my questions (even ones about other things), and just an all around pleasant guy to do business with.
And the best part… had the chance to finally shoot my baby after almost a year!
His prices are more then fair too. Spoke to that other place in Westminister who quoted a crazy price «just to look at it»!
Will definitely be a repeat customer of West Coast Gun Works for any other firearm issues I have.
THANKS AGAIN MIKE!

Recently got some work done here and everything looks amazing, super fast turn around time. Everyone here is very knowledgeable and very helpful

Mike is the best! I needed some work done on my AK and even though he was closed for the day, he opened his door and worked on my weapon. He was done in about 30 minutes and I was out the door.
He and his staff are true professionals and I will definitely come back for any other work on any of my other weapons.
