Finding a qualified gunsmith in CT isn't easy. We're one of the few working gunsmith shops in the Southington / Hartford County area, and we've built a reputation for getting the details right. Whether it's a simple trigger job or a full custom build, the same gunsmith works on your firearm from start to finish.

Custom AR-15 & Rifle Builds

Custom firearm builds are one of our specialties at Bravo Defense. We build AR-15s, AR-10s, and other rifle platforms from the ground up, tailored to your exact specifications and intended use. Whether you need a lightweight competition rifle, a durable duty weapon, or a precision long-range platform, your gunsmith will help you select the right components and assemble a firearm that exceeds your expectations.

You Choose Every Part

Upper and lower receivers, barrel profile and length, handguard style, trigger group, muzzle device, stock, grip, optics, and every component in between. We'll guide you through the options based on your budget and goals.

Built & Test-Fired

Every custom build is assembled with proper torque specifications, headspaced, function-tested, and inspected before delivery. We stand behind every build we produce.

Gunsmithing Services

Our gunsmithing shop handles everything from basic maintenance to advanced modifications. We work on all major firearm platforms including AR-15, AR-10, AK, bolt-action rifles, shotguns, revolvers, and semi-automatic pistols.

CT Compliance Specialists

Connecticut has some of the most complex firearm regulations in the country. Bravo Defense stays current on all CT-specific requirements and can advise on legal configurations, perform necessary modifications, and ensure your firearms are fully compliant with state law. We handle other-style builds, pre-ban configuration verification, and all required compliance work.
