I thoroughly enjoy gunsmithing and am committed to providing the best possible service. Nothing leaves my shop that I'm not proud of.
My name is Charles Bonnet. I'm a retired railroader, and have been gunsmithing my whole life. I enjoy collecting and preserving/restoring antique firearms.
Coming from a machine shop and fabrication background , I completed FSCJ's CNC Machinist degree program and earned various manufacturer armorer certifications. I am a fully licensed gunsmith in Fernandina Beach, Florida.
Also a competitive shooter, I'm well versed in accuracy & reliability/tuning work. From basic gunsmithing, to custom projects or restorations, I can help you make your gun just the way you want it.
UPDATE AUGUST 2018
My Facebook page is now linked to the page here, check it out to see what I do project by project. Everything from cleaning to custom; you never know what will come in the door.
I enjoy restoring and recreating firearms of the past, and study and use the processes used to manufacture them.
I also clean & repair, modify, and customize modern firearms. Let me make your gun the best it can be.
Call or email, and leave a message. I still work fulltime days, so I will get back to you at first opportunity.
