I recently found Stripper Clip Gunsmithing via their facebook page and knew the two smiths who run the shop from their previous work when they were employed at a custom shop in Manassas and a retail store in Stafford. As I understand it they left to start up their own shop and opened up in King George about 6 months ago. I had an M&P Shield that I wanted to install new sights and an APEX trigger kit in and they did marvelous work as always, with a quick turn-around time (just a couple days) and now the gun shoots beautifully. When I stopped by to pick it up I noticed a couple other things they were working on and was most impressed by Louie's skill with duracoat. He was refinishing another customer's handgun in an impressively detailed camo pattern using about 4 different colors. The shop is located in a large garage in a residential neighborhood as opposed to a storefront in a strip mall (they have no retail space at the moment BUT can order almost any firearm you are looking for and they do transfers as well). In just the relatively short span of a couple months they have also set up accounts with the major firearm retailers in their area (where you can drop off whatever you need worked on at the store and pick it up there when it is done) and are looking to expand their services from King George to the DC metro area (Manassas, Centreville, Woodbridge, etc) so will be able to drop off your firearm at your local store and pick it up from the same store as opposed to driving to their shop if you chose. I know these guys by reputation as they have worked on several of my guns before and each and every time they exceeded my expectations. I HIGHLY recommend them for any work you need done. read more
