Built From Scratch
in Andrews, TX

RMCS Arms holds a Type 07 Manufacturer FFL with SOT — the only one of its kind in the immediate Permian Basin. That means we don't just assemble parts. We manufacture. We serialize. We build suppressors in-house. Most shops can't touch half of what we do legally.

What a Type 07 + SOT Lets Us Do

Most FFLs are Type 01 dealers — they can transfer and sell. A Type 07 is a manufacturer. The difference matters more than you'd think.

🏭

Manufacture from Raw Materials

We can build firearms from raw stock — not just assemble 80% kits or swap parts. That means true bespoke builds where we machine and serialize the receiver from the beginning.

🔢

Serialize Custom Receivers

When we manufacture a firearm, we assign the serial number and enter it in our A&D bound book. That serial is RMCS Arms' — correct, compliant, and permanent. We don't hand you a parts kit and send you home with paperwork problems.

SOT REQUIRED

In-House Suppressor Builds

SOT authorization lets us manufacture suppressors via Form 2 instead of waiting on a Form 4 transfer. We build it here, it stays in-house — faster and often cheaper than tracking down a production can on extended NFA wait times.

SOT REQUIRED
📏

SBR Builds Without Shipping Out

Short-barreled rifles built in our shop without sending your firearm to another state. We handle the Form 2 manufacture paperwork. Faster turnaround, local accountability.

⚙️

AOW and DD Work Where Legal

Any Other Weapons and Destructive Device modifications within Texas law. If it requires a manufacturer's authorization to build, we have it. Call first — some of this depends on the specific item.

🔄

Caliber Conversions & Rebarreling

Swap your .308 AR-10 to 6.5 Creedmoor. Re-barrel a precision bolt gun. Convert a hunting rifle to a different chambering. We match and headspace everything — nothing leaves the bench untested.

🎯

Bolt-Action Precision Builds from Action Up

Starting from a bare action or trued action, we spec the barrel, stock, trigger, and brake to your intended use. Hunting, PRS competition, long-range plinking. Built to a zero, not just assembled.

The Build Process

Five steps, one builder, no handoffs. Every decision gets made with you before anything gets ordered.

01

Consultation

You tell Ronald what you're building and why — caliber, use case, budget ceiling. He'll tell you what's realistic and what's overkill. No pressure, no sales pitch.

02

Spec & Deposit

Final parts list locked in. $250 deposit holds your slot in the queue and covers initial parts sourcing. You see the full spec sheet before anything ships.

03

Parts Procurement & Manufacture

Parts ordered from vetted suppliers. Anything we manufacture in-house — receivers, suppressors, barrels — gets built to spec and serialized under our Manufacturer FFL.

04

Build & Test

Ronald builds it. Function check, headspace verification, zero confirmation where applicable. Nothing ships until it runs right. If it doesn't pass, we don't charge you for it.

05

Delivery

Pick up at the shop in Andrews or arrange FFL transfer to your local dealer. All paperwork is complete, serial is in the bound book, and you get a full rundown of the build on pickup.

What You Actually Get

Speed — No Out-of-State Shipping

NFA builds done here skip the round-trip to another state. SBR builds and suppressor manufacture happen in Andrews, under our SOT authorization. Your firearm doesn't travel, and neither does the paperwork delay.

🛠️

True Bespoke, Not Catalog

We don't pull builds from a price sheet. You tell us the caliber, the intended use, the weight target, the optic. We spec it from there. Parts are chosen for what you're building, not what's in stock at a distributor markup.

📄

We Handle the Paperwork

Manufacturer FFL and SOT authorization means we manage the NFA forms, the A&D bound book entries, and all transfer documentation. You don't need to navigate ATF paperwork on your own — that's what the license is for.

👁️

One Shop. One Builder. Every Serial Known by Heart.

Ronald builds everything that leaves this bench. Not a technician, not an apprentice, not a production line. When you call with a question two years from now, he'll remember your build. That's what it means to be a craftsman.
