Armco's revised drop-in/visiting hours are working well! Wednesday from 1:00 to 5:30, plus Saturday 9:00-12:00 and 1:00-4:00 gives us those times to visit, talk, tinker maybe, have a coffee, without the stress of trying to get a job finished and still keep about three conversations going :) It has turned out to be a highlight of my week, and I'd like to thank all of you for your support and understanding. As before if you're traveling through we can make other arrangements :) We still take a break from answering the phone on Tuesdays and Thursdays and that has really upped productivity, too! Thanks, guys!! (and ladies... :)
ABOUT ARMCOArmco Machine & Plating is a one-man (and one-woman), handgun specialized Gun Shop located in western Canada, the central part of British Columbia. We deal with shooters from across Canada, catering to their needs in guns, gear, accessories, reloading supplies, and sometimes, just a friendly ear. I’ve been a full-time pistolsmith since 1994, and part-time for 5 years prior to that. My background is in the precision machining involved in building racing motorcycle engines, and, of course, gun tinkering, going back 40 years. The transition to strictly working on handguns was a natural one.Jean and I are both very active competitors at matches across Canada. I’m past Section Co-ordinator of IPSC B.C. , for many years Vice-Region Director of IPSC Canada, a certified NROI Range Master, IPSC Training Course Instructor and Range Officer Instructor. Jean is also a certified IPSC Range Officer. We both love to shoot and although we're slower than we were, we really enjoy getting to the matches. Some new stuff :) There has been, over the last year especially, a transition to gun sales, both handguns and long guns, and I have seen this really grow. We have a great (and fast-changing) array of new and used guns available to our many customers across Canada and along with unbeatable pricing, we offer service second to none. Keep an eye on the site, and if you see something you like, act fast! Email is the best way, and offers to buy are taken in chronological order. Fax works as well, or a PM on CanadianGunNutz - phoning me is the least likely to get a fast response :( We have had to turn down a lot of gun repairs lately, due to the sheer volume of sales. There are only so many hours in the day :) We have our apprentice taking some load off, though, so I am now able to take on a bit more tuning, trigger jobs, sight work... As for custom gun work, this is now pretty well reduced to a couple I am wrapping up - and my own personal projects - cool stuff I have been meaning to build and some projects that have been sitting in the vault for years. Watch for some really nice guns, some of which I will of course want to keep :) Great News!! We are now able to offer an expert refinishing service for long guns. I have had a retired gun bluing expert, Jim Ford, doing some lovely pistol refinishing for me lately, including fine old Lugers, etc., and I have been extremely impressed with his work. I had him redo (metal and wood) my prized but very beat up Husqvarna Crown Grade .270 and was floored! The gun has never looked this good! I only wish I'd thought to take a few "before" pics :( You will see a new section appear on the gun refinishing page with excellent pricing. Turnaround no more than two weeks! Jim also does phenomenal wood refurbishing!!
