Manufacturing & Capabilities

Type 07 FFL  |  SOT Class 2 Manufacturer  |  Richmond, Virginia

In-House Manufacturing / NFA / Serialization / Destruction / Testing
Ironcrest Arms is a working manufacturing facility, not a storefront that resells inventory. As a Type 07 FFL and SOT Class 2 manufacturer, we produce firearms, NFA items, and serialized components in-house using our own equipment. Every item we manufacture is engraved, recorded, and transferred in full compliance with federal and Virginia state law. The capabilities below represent our production and service infrastructure.

Manufacturing Equipment

CNC & Precision Machining

Equipment Capability
CNC Mills Lower receiver manufacturing, NFA engraving, Glock optic cuts, HB 40 serialization, custom component work
CNC Routers Precision cutting and shaping of components and fixtures
Laser Cutters / Engravers High-volume engraving, custom markings, non-NFA cosmetic work
Drill Presses Component drilling, fixture work, receiver preparation
Associated Machine Shops Extended metalworking capacity through established local partnerships for work beyond in-house scope

All ATF-required markings are engraved to minimum .003” depth and 1/16” character height per 27 CFR 478.92 and 479.102.

Cleaning & Maintenance Lab

Multi-Weapon Cleaning Capacity

Our cleaning lab supports simultaneous deep-soak cleaning of multiple firearms at a time. This is designed for law enforcement agency visits where an entire fleet of duty weapons needs to be serviced in a single appointment — not a one-gun-at-a-time retail cleaning station.

Capabilities include field-strip cleaning, full disassembly, solvent soaking, ultrasonic cleaning where applicable, lubrication, and function checks. Written condition notes provided for each weapon on request.

Testing & Validation

Outdoor Range Access

Every manufactured firearm and every serviced weapon we return to a law enforcement agency is function-tested prior to delivery. We utilize outdoor range access for live-fire function verification, zero confirmation, and post-build validation.

This is not an optional step. No rifle or NFA item leaves our facility without a confirmed function check.

Firearm Destruction

Documented Destruction Capability

We maintain torch cutting equipment for firearm destruction — the ATF-accepted method for rendering firearms permanently inoperable. Torch cuts are applied to the receiver, barrel, and other critical components sufficient to meet the ATF’s definition of destruction.

Every destruction is video-recorded, logged in our A&D bound book, and issued a Certificate of Destruction. Chain-of-custody documentation is provided from intake through final disposition.

We serve law enforcement agencies for evidence room cleanouts and seized firearm disposal, as well as municipal localities running buyback and give-back programs under Virginia Code § 15.2-915.5.
