Our cleaning services are ideal for:

General Cleaning

Starting at $100

Pricing begins at $100 for general AK cleaning and may vary depending on the condition of the firearm and the amount of cleaning required.

For firearms that need a deeper clean, we utilize an ultrasonic cleaning system to help remove fouling, carbon, old lubricant, grease, and debris from difficult-to-reach areas.

Ultrasonic cleaning is especially useful for small components and areas that can be difficult to thoroughly clean using traditional methods alone.

After cleaning, appropriate components are dried, inspected, and lubricated before reassembly.

We also offer cosmoline removal services for AK-pattern rifles and other applicable surplus firearms.

Cosmoline and similar storage preservatives were commonly used to protect military firearms during long-term storage. While excellent for preventing corrosion, old cosmoline can work its way into small components, crevices, and other difficult-to-clean areas.

Our cosmoline removal service is designed to remove accumulated preservative while preparing the firearm for normal cleaning, inspection, and lubrication.

Because the amount and condition of cosmoline can vary significantly from firearm to firearm, cosmoline removal pricing is based on the condition of the firearm and the amount of work required.
