2A Concepts

Super cool place, easy to deal with, and does great work. I was amazed with the quality of work. Check out the photos. I was able to select from a wide range of colors from gold to pink. I brought a sample and Richard brought out the colors for me to pick. Super fast work dropped off Wednesday and picked up Friday.

I met Richard at a booth at the last couple of Costa Mesa Gunshows. Talked to him and seem like a good guy. The examples he brought to the show were beautiful.
So this last time I brought a Rock Island .45 Tactical I had… the previous owner had coated it (duracoat?) and it just looked… not right. Like it was on too thick or something… so I had Richard do it like a Sig Sauer Scorpion. Desert tan and black accents. It turned out GREAT. Looks beautiful… and the work appears to be perfect.
Turn was quick… it was only a little over a week… faster than he quoted.
I’ll look forward to bringing some more stuff in for him.
Thanks Richard!

Cerakote. Well if you don’t know what that is, you probably may not have a whole lot of interest in this review. If you do, however, read onnnnn…
So the new thing with firearms is custom finishing. Of course you have steel, stainless, aluminum, all sorts of plastic composites, etc., etc., which means that you’re pretty hard pressed to find some way to color all of the firearm components equally and consistently.
Enter the amazing Cerakote process. This is an ultra thin but also ultra durable ceramic based finish that is baked on, similar to powder coating. I’ve had a number of items refinished with this process, and I have to say that it is quite amazing. I certainly won’t go for some of the crazy colors that they have available (i.e. pink, purple, Tiffany Blue, etc.), but rest assured that pretty much any color under the sun can be had for your little pets.
The Cerakote process isn’t limited to firearms either. It’s just as well suited for any hardware that sees extreme weather or usage, and finishes well on metals and many plastics and composites. Applications are limited only by your imagination!
Bring your parts already disassembled, or have Richard do it for you for a small fee, it’s up to you.
Of course you have OC Armory next door too, so you have the best of both worlds here! Purchase some eclectic hardware and have it customized, all in one stop!
Oh yeah, 2A is also an 07 FFL so they can do any transfers or registrations that you may need as well, including out of state or custom stuff.
