Gun Transfer
Purchasing a firearm from an online retailer or auction site requires ownership transfer from a Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealer. At GunWorx Texas, we are an official FFL capable of performing this service. Follow the process below:
Complete purchase from online seller.
Notify us with the seller’s contact information (e-mail & phone#)
We will contact the seller to send them copy of our FFL (if they don’t already have it).
Once the seller receives funds for the firearm from you, they will ship the firearm to us. *(They should provide tracking info to you).
When we receive the firearm, we will contact you (text is quickest) that the firearm arrived and then you can make an appointment to pick it up at our place of business. When picking up the firearm from us you must bring your current Texas Driver License (TDL) and if you have one, your License To Carry Handgun (LTC) (from State of Texas only).
Every buyer must personally complete an ATF Form 4473. This background check must be approved for transfer of the firearm. If you have a Texas LTC, the process is more efficient, but the Form 4473 must still be completed.
Fees:
Texas CHL/LTC Holder - $20
Non Texas CHL/LTC Holder - $25
*Please let us know tracking info for efficient delivery and customer pick-up.

Refinishing
Firearm refinishing on gun metal is all about the metal preparation - probably 80% of the job. Without that often pains-taking process, the firearm won’t be satisfactorily and professionally complete. However, newer (95% - 100%) firearms may not need substantial metal-prep. Estimates must be made only after sufficient inspection by myself, so you will need to bring the firearm to my shop for me to give a good estimate for the work it needs or that you may want.
Rust-Blue
Rust-bluing is almost a lost art, because of the time and patience it takes to complete a professional job. The completed finish is actually better than normal hot-caustic bluing prevalent today. It’s also a beautiful finish that looks more like gun-metal creating a true gun-like appearance. Many firearms from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s were originally finished using this process.
Pricing does not include disassembly/reassembly of firearm or metal preparation required for completed professional finish. (Metal prep may include using blast-media to remove old finish, such as paint, bluing, etc.).
See pictures & videos in Gallery for examples of rust-blued firearms.
Long guns - $399 (plus metal prep, disassembly & reassembly)
Handguns - $299 (plus metal prep, disassembly & reassembly)
Parkerizing
I use a manganese-phosphate based process, which is the darker gray (referred to as “black”). Metal must be cleaned and degreased after disassembly before bead-blasting is done to prep the metal for proper coating of parkerizing solution. Examples can be seen on the Project Gallery Page. Pricing below does not include disassembly & reassembly or the metal preparation that may be required. Metal prep includes removing imperfections in the metal (if wanted/needed) and bead-blasting.
Handguns - $175 (plus metal prep, disassembly & reassembly - minimal approx. $100)
Long guns - $250 (plus metal prep, disassembly & reassembly - minimal approx. $100)
Other Steel Items (for refinishing)
The Parkerizing or Rust-bluing process can also be used on other items besides firearms. These other items must be made of steel and not softer metals like aluminum, alloy, brass, or copper. An example: Tactical Handcuffs that are made of steel and don’t include any softer metals. Tactical Handcuffs are usually blued or painted black, rather than the ones mostly seen in films, which are usually stainless steel. The stainless style cannot be parkerized or rust-blued. We have parkerized several sets of handcuffs for police personnel in the state. Of course, this is just an example. Other steel items needing to be refinished can be done, as well. (See Project Gallery Page for pictures)
