Changing expectations in what a Long Island Gunshop can deliver

Long Island has a vibrant community of gun owners.  We know, we  grew up shooting here.  While the rules and regulations can be frustrating, the access to gunsmithing machine services is a decades old problem here. How often have you wanted to customize your rifle, pistol or shotgun but didn’t want to deal with the hassle or expense of shipping the gun across the country? We know we have.  Shotgun work in Akansas, barrel work in Ohio and 1911 sight installation in West Virginia are still options, however, they aren’t your only option.  Now, you can go local!

What does the “782” in your name mean?

Naming a business can be tricky.  I think most former Marines like myself try to incorporate something “Marineish” into the name.  Turns out a lot of former Marines start gun companies. You can take most iterations of jarhead jargon and add guns, gunworks, or arms to it and find a company with that name . In the Marines your gear is issued on a form number 782.  Because of this, Marines refer to their gear as “782 gear” or “deuce gear” for short.  So 782 plus gunworks became 782 Custom Gunworks LTD, and that’s how we got the name. -Bill
