For gun owners

Searching, browsing and booking are free, and they stay free.

Nothing. The app is free to download, searching is free, and sending a booking request is free. There is nothing to buy inside it. The shops pay to be found — you never do.

No. Gun owners use the app as customers — no license required. FFL verification applies only to the shops that list their services. You just need to be a legal gun owner in your state.

Yes. GunsmithApp™ is a directory and booking platform — no firearms are sold or transferred. Every listed Gunsmith holds a valid ATF-issued FFL. Using a licensed gunsmith is legal in all 50 states.

Yes — search the job, not the word gunsmith. Coatings incl. Cerakote, Engraving and NFA Compliance Marking, Bluing and Refinishing, Grip Stippling, Slide Milling and Optics work each have their own category, and the Coating Shops and Engravers doing that work are listed and searchable by distance from you.

Yelp and Google list businesses. They don’t verify FFL status, don’t sort by proximity to you, and aren’t built around the specific services a shop provides. GunsmithApp™ is purpose-built for this industry from the ground up.

No. Nothing is bought, sold or transferred through GunsmithApp™. It finds you a licensed shop and lets you send that shop a booking request — the work, the paperwork and the payment stay between you and the shop.

Your email address is used only for your account and signup confirmation. It is never sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy.

Download the app and look — new shops join as they claim their listings, and coverage grows every week. Share the app with your range crew and your local shop.

It is live on both stores. Get the app and it will send you to the right one for your phone.

For Gunsmiths, Coating Shops, Engravers & FFL Dealers

Your shop is probably already listed. Taking it costs nothing.

Claim your shop with your FFL license number — it takes a few minutes and verification is reviewed the same day. No card required: being listed is free, and paid plans are optional.

Over 8,000 FFLs are verified and listed already, and an unclaimed listing shows no way to reach you. Claiming puts the shop under your control: your services, your contact details, and booking requests that come to you. You keep the customer, the schedule and the phone number.

Free, with no card. A free listing is found in local search, carries the license-verified badge on a verified shop, takes star reviews and three booking requests a month, and lets a customer tap to call or email you.

Reach and room to work: placement above free listings, being found from farther out, a photo portfolio and certificate wall, and booking requests with no monthly cap. Premier adds the job tracker your customer watches. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.

Never. The license-verified badge is free on every verified shop, on every plan. It is not for sale at any price.

The claim flow is built on the FFL license number, so it is the route for licensed shops. If you do this work without a license of your own, write to us and tell us what you do — we would rather hear from you than lose you.

Yes. Training and instructor listings sit alongside the shops. They are community-reviewed and are not subject to FFL verification, and a paid plan lets you post classes with seat limits, named rosters and waitlists.
