Optic mounting and zeroing support is available by project review. We will confirm firearm and optic compatibility, ammunition needs, access, and scheduling before accepting the work.
What does preparedness consultation cover?
Consultation can help identify gaps, establish priorities, organize equipment, and create a practical training or readiness roadmap. It is tailored to the customer and does not replace legal, medical, or emergency advice.
Can I send photos and video of my project?
Yes. Start by emailing a description. We can then confirm the most useful photos or short videos to provide. Do not send sensitive personal information by ordinary email.
