About the Estimate
The pistol decides what is possible.
The online configuration is the starting point. Existing dimensions, prior modifications, materials, condition, and compatibility can affect what work can be performed and what it will cost.
When the firearm reaches the factory, we evaluate it against your selections. If something needs to change, we explain the revision and obtain your approval before proceeding.
