General Gunsmithing
General Gunsmithing
Lever action work is what we're known for, but Mad Pig is a full-service shop with in-house machining, Cerakote, and gunsmiths on staff. We take general gunsmithing projects on most firearm platforms at our discretion — from a single threaded barrel to full custom builds and OEM prototype work.
Every general gunsmithing project is quoted individually. The prices below are typical starting points; the final quote depends on the platform, condition, and scope of work. Email info@madpigcustoms.com with photos and a description to start.
