Please Note: All rifle builds that have chamber work, action truing, and either the bedding performed or inspected with approval by Sinister Arms will receive our seal engraved on the barrel. If a customer wishes it not to be done, then it must be specified during the beginning of the build.

 

Furthermore, all factory components removed and replaced during the build will be maintained by Sinister Arms unless the customer specifies otherwise.

 

A Change Order is possible. This is when a modification to the original agreed work is requested after work has begun. If we are able to make the Change Order with no problem, we'll do so. However, if we've already moved past the item or work you want to change, we will return and revise it, but work already completed will be billed along with any additional fees to make the alteration. This can, and often will, extend the anticipated completion date. 

 

Sinister Arms wants to complete the project to your satisfaction. If you change your mind through a project, and elect to take your project elsewhere, we will respect your choice and your property and return it to you with no hard feelings. However, if we've already started on your project, you will be billed for the work completed and payment is due prior to returning your parts.
