AR Custom Work

Wilson Combat has been performing World Class Custom Gunsmithing on AR pattern rifles since 1999. We have a variety of customization options available to upgrade your rifle.

As Wilson Combat is a true custom shop, some options may be available that are not listed in our Custom Gunsmithing rates. Please contact us for more information.

Buy or Build

If you looking to buy or custom build a new gun, and not customize an existing one, please visit our Custom Firearm Ordering page to get all the information you need.


Customize Your Existing AR Pattern Rifle

Our AR customization options allows for a variety of upgrades, parts, and finishes that can be applied to most AR models. Please contact us via our contact page for more information.

When you are ready to send in your gun for customization, please complete the form below. Make a copy for yourself and send a copy enclosed with your firearm when you ship it.

We can also perform some limited work on bolt action rifles, such as converting certain Ruger American rifles to 300 HAM'R, or refinishing your rifle with Armor-Tuff.


Custom Armor-Tuff Finish Options

ARMOR-TUFF™ Protective Firearms Finish was developed specifically for firearms use to provide a non-reflective tactical surface finish with optimum corrosion protection, abrasion resistance and enhanced lubricity. The low curing temperature prevents parts from damage such as warping during the finishing process.

A firearm finished with ARMOR-TUFF™ has the most durable, chemical and heat resistant, thermally cured firearm finish available.

Rifles can be finished in the Armor-Tuff™ finishes, or Combat-Tuff finishes. Combat-Tuff is a two-stage Armor-Tuff™ finishing process that achieves the distressed, cutting-edge look of a well-used tactical firearm. It requires multiple coats of our legendary spray-on coating and a special hand finishing process.

NOTE: Due to the nature of true custom hand crafted finishes, variations in color and pattern are natural and to be expected. Any visual representations are examples, not identical replications of all finished product.
