Rebluing and Metal Refinishing | Velocity Works, Guns, Firearms, Ammo, Gunsmith, FFL Transfers, Westerville, Ohio


Metal Refinishing — Including Hot Bluing, Parkerizing, Cerakote, Hot Rust bluing, & More!
Full disassembly, cleaning, and inspection of the firearm (we will let you know if there are any issues that need addressed) Removal of rust and dirt from entire gun Draw filing of outer metal to white, removing as much pitting and scratches as possible	Polishing of outer metal to the proper grit (sand blast finish also available) All metal that will be chemically finished is submerged in a carefully controlled hot solution Spray coatings will be meticulously prepped, sprayed, and oven-cured Firearm is reassembled and function checked (can be test fired at small additional charge)
While Hot bluing is our most requested metal finish, we also offer popular options like Parkerizing, Cerakote and Hot Rust Bluing. Parkerizing is a slightly different chemical process that produces a durable, darker gray finish. Cerakote is a highly durable, oven-cured external finish that resists scratching and rusting better than bluing or parkerizing. It is available in a number of colors and sheens. It can applied to all exterior surfaces including wood and plastic, and is a very popular option if you’re looking to really customize your firearm!

Before	After

This does not include any refinishing of the stock, or any additional modifications to the gun itself. If there are any repairs, modifications or improvements you would like, please let us know beforehand so they can be completed before polishing and bluing. All repairs, modifications, improvements and installation of aftermarket parts is separate from the cost of rebluing or refinishing the metal.
NOTE: The price to reblue or refinish a firearm can vary greatly depending on the type of firearm and condition of the steel. Like most jobs, the amount of prep work (filing and polishing) will determine the outcome of the job. Not all firearms are suitable for rebluing.

Joe was a great instructor for our CCW class. We came in eager to learn and Joe was a wonderful teacher. We had a great time at the range and learned a-lot of new tricks that increased our accuracy. Thanks again Joe!

Joe was very informative, professional and friendly. As a first time buyer, I appreciated that he walked me through features, mechanics, process, and safety. He was the only one working and managed the busy customer flow well.

Small shop with limited inventory. Got a transfer done here and their transfer fee was very good compared to other local shops. Owner and their gunsmith very very polite, professional and knowledgable. I hope to see them grow. Good folks.

The gunsmith (I think you said your name was Nate? Sorry, I'm bad with names) is fantastic! I had an incredibly stubborn barrel nut that I had been brutalizing all day without any success. My man had that thing off before I could even finish... browsing the guns in the store! My Fortis rail went on like a breeze after that. Big props to this shop!read more

I have been dealing with Velocity Works for a few years now and have specifically dealt with all of Velocity's staff namely Joe, Larry and Nate. They are all a joy to deal with and have treated me as a valued customer since the day I first stepped... in to their place of business. I think their pricing is fair and the quality and workmanship is second to none. I recently just had an Apex trigger installed in my M&P Shield 1.0 and the transformation from stock to upgrade has been tremendous. Thank you Velocity for your professionalism and for the ease of doing business with your establishment.read more

Ok first off very nice people five stars on hospitality. I would defiantly recommend if you are buying a gun. The bad I cannot and would not in good faith recommend for gunsmith work. I had a rifle that I wanted glass and pillar bed and needed... mounting screws. I got it back first thing I noticed was it was missing 1 of three screws. They did order and mail the screw to me. Secondly I noticed the glass bedding could have been cleaned up in spots some l light sanding would have went a long way, but whatever I can fix that. I got home and realized the rear screw in the action was not even threaded in the pillar was not drilled straight the hole did not line up and the gun would not even fire. I took it back and the gunsmith admitted it was off and was going to put a bigger pillar in to offset the hole so it would line up. The owner said he would make it right and compensate me somehow. I was afraid and even told my girlfriend they would try to wallow the hole out so I was happy it was going to be fixed right.Thirdly A week or so later I go to pick it up and he said all he had to do was wallow the hole out some. I have well over $1200 in parts in this gun wallowing a hole out is not good gunsmithing. The owner was biz when I picked it up the second time so no compensation was given so I guess thats on me for not waiting around I was frustrated by the entire deal. After getting it home the second time I noticed a part was missing. I called and ask the gunsmith he said with the bolt I wanted the part would not work and he forgot to send it with the gun. they did mail the part back. Like I said nice guys and would recommend for sales, but not gunsmith work.read more

I've had Velocity Works service various firearms on a number of occasions, and they do a great job and charge a fair price. For example, I usually install sights myself, but sometimes I don't have the right sight pusher and/or my standard... gunsmithing tools & limited gunsmithing ability fail to get the job done, so I turn to them to fix problems I often create by not having taken a gun to them in the first place. ;) Typically these are replacing factory sights that were pressed too tightly. Specifically, they installed the following sights as pictured: a pair of XS Big Dots Night Sights on a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380, XS Standard Dot Night Sights on my SIG P229 Enhanced Elite, and a pair of Ameriglo iDot Night Sights on my Performance Center Smith & Wesson M&P Shield M2.0. They all came out great and were wonderful upgrades to the factory sights. As such, I highly recommend Velocity Works.read more

Gunsmith is ok when it comes to Ar15 work. I had him pin and weld a muzzle brake on my 14.5 upper. While functionally the work was fine. cosmetically a tig welder should have been used so he didn't have to grind on my very expensive barrel. They... also charged more than 2 times what everyone else charges for the same work. The price would be fine if they did a perfect job. One good thing is if someone ever wants to check to make sure my muzzle brake is welded on, they will have no problem seeing that it is.read more

I had a problem with my Covert Carrier Grip for my Walther PPKS. The gentleman at the counter said he could fix the grip and get it to attach correctly. He said he would charge me 1/2 hour of labor. He working the gun for about 30 minutes and... successfully attached the new grip. I pulled out my wallet to pay. He said no charge , just give us a good write-up on Google. I have purchased a handgun from this shop and they have solved several problems I have had in the past as well as today. Give them a try for a new gun purchase or gunsmithing services. They are great to work with. I would strongly recommend them. Chuck Pfeiffer Westerville, Ohioread more

Joe assessed my issue and gave me a very fair quote. Was told it would probably take a week to get resolved. I had it back in three days. I’ll definitely do business with them again.

I am very happy with the professional and friendly service at Velocity Works. They evaluated and appraised a large batch of firearms for me. I have also sold consignment through them and had FFL shipping through them. Highly recommended.

I had a transfer shipped to Velocity Works with little expectation other than the required transaction. Joe noticed that I was eligible for a promotion from the manufacturer and went to the effort to not only obtain the required paperwork, but fill... it out for me and address and stamp the envelope. Above and beyond in my book and much appreciated.read more

I went in to have a barrel nut removed as I did not have a vice block. I expected to pay at least what a block would cost if I ordered it. These guys had it off in one minute and didn’t charge me. Nice people. Ill be back to return the favor with... a sale. They have a nice collection of collectible firearms! If I could give 6 stars I would, these guys get it.read more

Great experience for both buying andthe class! I purchased a handgun through the store and Joe was great at assisting me with figuring out exactly what I wanted. There's a small inventory in the store but they have access to ordering in a lot more.I... ended up taking their Conceal Carry class as well which was great. It was super informative for someone with limited experience using guns and Joe is super patient with newer gun owners and learners. I plan on taking their advanced class at some point awell. Highly recommended!!read more

Awesome. Simply put these guys (Joe especially) are great to deal with. I've been doing transfers mostly with them for the last two years since moving to Ohio. Every time I need their FFL sent they usually send it within hours and 24 hours max. ... They promptly call when guns arrive and every time I go in there I find myself talking with Joe for a bit. Just all around nice people offering great service. They do not carry a lot of inventory but what they do have is priced right. They are always able to get guns for you and operate more on a special order basis.read more

My girlfriend and I attended the concealed hand gun license (CHL) class at Velocity Works. My friend and I entered the class a little apprehensive as we both had limited exposure to hand guns. The instructor was great! He provided a lot of... information in a way that everyone of all levels could understand. The class was very informative and by the time we went to the range we both felt comfortable with handling a hand gun. I would highly recommend this class.read more
