Normal Hours This Week

For some reason, I think I previously stated that the shop could be closed while I was out of town for training. As I will not be out of town, the shop will be on its normal schedule this week.

We will be open Monday through Friday 4:30 PM to 7 PM for walk-ins. Appointments are available at all other times (usually 9 AM to 9 PM) unless I am doing something that I cannot stop in the middle of (bluing, welding, etc.).

We hope to see you soon.

UPDATE: Cerakote Factory Certified Applicator Training

Classic American Gunsmith’s Gunsmith was originally scheduled to attend Cerakote Factory Certified Applicator Training 30 Apr -1 May 2018. Unfortunately, due to a family health issue, this had to be postponed until 15-16 Nov 2018.

In the meantime, Classic American Gunsmith is working with the fine folks at CoatingsUSA to offer Cerakote Factory Certified Application services to our clients. CoatingsUSA is a five-star customer choice applicator for Cerakote. They have a long-standing successful business producing high-quality work with a great track record for customer satisfaction. We can not think of a better company to partner with to provide Cerakote services to our clients.

Moving the jobs between our location in Charlottesville, VA and CoatingsUSA’s state of the art facility in Front Royal, VA requires some logistics and we are currently planning on a 3-4 week turn around time for Cerakote work.

CoatingsUSA can be found on the Cerakote website ⇒. Cerakote is still listing us on their website ⇒ as a ‘coming soon’ shop. We are looking forward to training later this year!

Stop by the shop to discuss your Crakote project!

UPDATE: This posting has been updated to reflect the most current information regarding our Cerakote Factory Certified Applicator Training.

Power Outage: 2 Mar 2018

UPDATE: As of ~11p we have been without power for a full twenty four hours now. The wind is still loudly swirling around outside so doubt there will be a quick resolution. We noticed earlier that every meter on the Red Hill Substation is currently with out power. Watch here for updates.

—————————

EARLIER: As of 3:30p we still have no power.  There will be no walk in shop hours today (4:30p-7p). We will coordinate something for transfer pick ups over the weekend (once the power is back). Watch here for updates.

—————————

EARLIER: We have been without power since ~11:00p yesterday. CVEC Outage map now has over 5,600 outages. The Red Hill Substation is usually (or at least seems to be) last to be addressed because we are the smallest (least number of customers). Thus we may not have power back for awhile.

We will not be holding appointments or shop hours during the outage. We will update the website as we know more.

We will still be here to meet the shipping companies that are bringing incoming transfers.

Snow/Ice

There is snow/ice on the ground. In an effort to not damage the new driveway I am not going to remove the snow/ice.

I am in the shop working today. I am not going to make any appointments until the snow/ice is gone. If you would like to come to the shop I will be here.  I recommend that you wait until the snow/ice has gone.

Please do not tear up the driveway trying to get up it.
