Gunsmith Near Pittsburg, Kansas — 30 Miles, Worth the Drive
If you're in Pittsburg or Crawford County looking for a gunsmith who actually does the work himself, Locked and Loaded Armory in Fort Scott is about 30 miles up US-69 — and we hear from Pittsburg customers regularly. Here's what we handle:
Gunsmith services for Crawford County shooters
- Trigger jobs from $75 — lighter, crisper pull on bolt guns, semi-autos, and revolvers. Most come back between 2.5–3.5lb depending on your preference.
- Scope mounting from $65 — torqued rings, leveled scope, bore-sighted and ready to zero. Takes the guesswork out of a new glass install.
- AR-15 assembly $175 labor — headspaced, staked, timed, function-tested. Not just assembled — built.
- FFL transfers $25 flat — bought a gun on GunBroker or Palmetto? Ship it here. Background check, paperwork, and out the door fast.
- Firearm restoration — heirloom rifles, older shotguns, fire or flood damage. We've brought back pieces that other shops said weren't worth it.
