Regular cleaning is an essential part of responsible firearm maintenance, and Backwater Guns & Outfitters provides the thorough, professional care your firearm deserves. Our process includes complete disassembly, ultrasonic and hand cleaning, proper lubrication, and careful reassembly to ensure optimal performance.
We fully disassemble your firearm (according to manufacturer specifications) to access all major components and hard-to-reach areas. During the process, we carefully inspect for wear, cracks, damage, or potential reliability issues.
All components are cleaned, brushed, and treated using proper solvents, tools, and ultrasonic equipment when needed. We remove carbon buildup, fouling, and residue from internal and external surfaces, including barrels, slides, bolts, magazines, and trigger groups.
Once cleaned, we correctly lubricate and reassemble your firearm using manufacturer-recommended methods. This ensures proper function, smooth cycling, and long-term protection of internal parts.
After reassembly, we perform a complete function and safety check to confirm everything is working as intended. Your firearm is returned to you clean, protected, and ready for use.
Antique and collectible firearms require a more delicate approach, and our team takes every precaution to preserve their condition and historical value. Instead of ultrasonic cleaning, which can be too aggressive for older materials, we hand clean antique firearms to protect sensitive wood furniture, aged finishes, and fragile components. Because removing original wood stocks or hardware can risk cracks or stripped screws, we avoid unnecessary disassembly and treat each piece with the respect and craftsmanship it deserves. If you have an heirloom or collectible firearm, you can trust Backwater Guns & Outfitters to care for it safely and professionally.
Whether you’re purchasing your first suppressor or building a collection, trust the team that shooters across North Carolina rely on.
