Gunsmithing

Farewell to Our Beloved Gunsmith, Chris "Kiwi" Burton

After 12 incredible years with us, our esteemed gunsmith Chris "Kiwi" Burton has made the heartfelt decision to return home to New Zealand. Since nearly the beginning, Chris has been an integral part of the West Coast Armory family — a true craftsman, colleague, and friend. His dedication, skill, and good humor will be deeply missed by staff and customers alike.

As we begin the search for a new gunsmith, we want to let you know that we have not yet found a replacement. In the meantime, while we’re without a gunsmith, we are fairly limited in our capabilities but can do some AR-15 work (no builds) and mounting optics that were purchased through West Coast Armory.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding during this transition.
