My Story

For over a decade, JT Arms has been built on one simple principle — treat every customer like family and treat every firearm like it's my own.

It started in my garage in 2015. Three years of building skills, reputation, and trust before opening a retail location in November 2018. Since then JT Arms has grown into the Quad Cities' go-to shop for gunsmithing, Cerakote finishing, custom builds, laser engraving, and hands-on classes — all under one roof.

I hold an advanced gunsmithing certificate earned through a three-year program, and an FFL/SOT license. But more than credentials, what drives this shop is genuine passion for the craft and an honest approach to every job that comes through the door.

The Story Behind The Style

Design has always been more than decor—it’s how we shape the way we live and feel. [Designer Name] founded [Brand Name] with a simple belief: that every space should tell a story, not just look beautiful.

What began as a passion for creating calm, curated homes grew into a full-service design studio known for its timeless elegance and personalized approach. Our signature style blends soft neutrals, natural textures, and refined details—creating interiors that feel warm, balanced, and effortlessly luxurious.

From day one, our mission has been to design with intention. We don’t follow trends—we follow people. And we’re here to make your space feel like home.

What We Do

Full-service gunsmithing, Cerakote finishing, custom fabrication, laser engraving, AR build classes, and NFA/Class III transfers — all performed in-house by a certified gunsmith.

Who We Are

A one-person shop built on reputation, not volume. Every firearm gets hands-on attention from the same certified gunsmith — no handoffs, no shortcuts.

Our Mission

To be the most trusted gunsmith in Northern Arizona by doing honest work, at fair prices, with the skill and care every firearm deserves.
