How a Custom Firearm Project Comes Together
Ikkin Arms manufactures its own line of custom firearms in Rochester, New York. Every project starts with understanding the customer’s goals and determining what work is appropriate for the firearm and intended result.

Start With the Project Goal
A custom project begins with a conversation about the firearm, the desired appearance or configuration, and the work the customer wants completed. Ikkin Arms can then explain which of its manufacturing, customization, gunsmithing and finishing capabilities apply to the project.
Because every firearm and project is different, Ikkin Arms evaluates the actual work before representing what can be done.
Manufacture, Customize, Gunsmith and Finish
Ikkin Arms brings multiple capabilities together under one roof. Custom firearms manufacturing is the core identity of the business, supported by licensed gunsmithing, Cerakote application and hydrographics experience.
That combination allows a project to be considered as a complete piece rather than treating mechanical work and appearance as unrelated services.
Professional Finishing Options
Ikkin Arms has more than 10 years of experience applying Cerakote and more than 15 years of hydrographics experience. The appropriate finish depends on the project, the surface and the appearance the customer wants.
The Cerakote and hydrographics pages show the finishing services and real project photography available through Ikkin Arms.
Final Review and Customer Pickup
When the agreed work is complete, the project is reviewed before it is returned to the customer. Customers with a custom firearm idea are encouraged to call Ikkin Arms so the project can be discussed directly.
