Got Questions?
FAQ About Custom Guns in Brooklyn, NY.
-
What types of custom guns can Orange build?
Orange works on custom rifles, pistols, and shotguns built around the way you actually plan to use them. That can include a defensive carbine, a refined range pistol, a hunting rifle with the right optic setup, or a shotgun adjusted for better fit, balance, and recoil control.
-
Can you help me plan a custom gun build from scratch?
Yes. If you have an idea but are not sure how to put the build together, Orange can walk you through the process. That includes discussing intended use, platform choice, parts selection, fitment, reliability concerns, and the overall performance goals for the finished firearm.
-
Do you only build custom guns, or do you also upgrade existing firearms?
Orange does both. Some customers want a full custom build, while others want to improve a firearm they already own. Common upgrades include trigger work, sight installation, optics mounting, rail and furniture installation, action tuning, and other practical changes that improve function and handling.
-
How do you make sure a custom gun is reliable and not just cosmetic?
The work starts at the bench with inspection, measurement, and honest evaluation. Orange focuses on mechanical function first, looking at details like fitment, cycling, lockup, extractor tension, gas system behavior, and overall balance. The goal is to build something that performs correctly, not just something that looks impressive.
-
Can you customize a firearm for hunting, home defense, or range use?
Yes. Orange tailors custom guns to real-world use. A hunting setup may need a specific caliber and optic pairing, while a home-defense firearm may call for practical controls, dependable feeding, and a manageable layout. A range-focused build may prioritize trigger feel, sight picture, and shooting comfort.
-
Do you install optics, barrels, triggers, and other custom parts?
Yes. Orange installs and fits a wide range of components, including barrels, optics, rails, triggers, furniture, and related accessories. Each part is selected and installed with attention to compatibility, reliability, and how the firearm will handle once it is back in use.
-
Can you apply Cerakote to a custom gun build?
Yes. Cerakote is available as part of the customization process for customers who want added durability and a more personalized finish. Orange approaches it as a protective, hard-use coating rather than just decoration, whether you want a clean single-color finish or a more detailed pattern.
-
Do you work on older firearms or family guns that need careful custom attention?
Yes. Orange regularly handles firearms that need more thoughtful bench work, including older rifles, revolvers, and shotguns. If a firearm has sentimental value or requires restoration, fitting, repair, or a respectful upgrade path, the work is approached with care and precision rather than guesswork.
-
Can I test or train with my custom gun after the work is done?
Yes. Orange understands that a custom firearm should be proven in use, not just picked up and put away. Range time can help confirm that a repair, optic install, trigger upgrade, or full custom setup is performing as expected, and training is also available for customers who want to build confidence with the finished firearm.
-
What are your business hours if I want to discuss a custom gun project?
Orange is open Monday through Thursday from 12:00 AM to 3:00 AM. Friday through Sunday, the shop is closed.
