Metaloy Industries, Inc.

This is a very nice colt Python we recently finished for a customer in our black TactiKote Finish. It turned out well so we thought about getting up on our blog.

American Handgunner March April 2010 "A Swenson Tribute Gun"

I received a PDF of the March April issue of American Handgunner from John Harrison of Harrison Design and Consulting. In that issue beggining on page 48 is a great little article about a Colt 1911 that John built in tribute to one of the great builders of the past. Armand Swenson.

John called on Metaloy to do the final finish in our Metaloy Finish. I got to know John a little over the past few years as he has sent some work to our shop for Metaloy and in dealing with him and seeing his work it has been a very pleasant experience. John work is top shelf. Attention to detail and his skill level put him in some of the top 1911 builders in the country in my opinion.

I hope you enjoy the article. http://fmgpublications.ipaperus.com/FMGPublications/AmericanHandgunner/AHMA10/

August 2009 Update

Where has the year gone? We continue to stay very busy here. Things are moving fast like always.

With only a few hitches and slow downs the gun industry seems to continue to weather this economy very well. All those I talk with in the business say they are STILL swamped with work and orders.

Not much else to share. I will be at the SHOT Show in January 2010. Plans are made. Hope to see many of those long time customers and pistolsmiths I only speak with on the phone or emails. Also see new products and here what the buzz is on industry news. More later.

Get all gun work done in at one place

Have not posted in a good while but wanted to write this.

Since Ron Phillips has opened his own shop and it is within 10 miles of Metaloy customers can now send a gun to Ron for work and Ron can bring it here for finish work. That saves the customer a lot on shipping to two different places. Great gun work and a great finish in one shipment. Metaloy still does gun work but by funneling some to Ron it not only gives him more business but frees us up to do more finish work. Every one wins!

Ron and I have also discussed building some guns together. (with all that free time he and I have)This is ONLY a thought at this point as we both are very busy with a healthy customer schedule. If we decide to move forward with some test builds I'm sure any details will be on our websites. Please check back for any updates.

We continue to enjoy a brisk business in tough times and we can only thank our clients for making this possible. Thank you to all who trust Metaloy for all of your firearms finishing. We continue our commitment to excellent service and products in a world of substandard offerings.

Sever Weather NOTICE

As many may know we here in Arkansas are experiencing a sever ice storm. Our shop is without power as many others are. We have been without power since Monday January 26. Our local electric crews are working around the clock to restore power but due to its wide spread damage our shop may not have power for another full week.

We are currently answering emails as best we can. We ask for your patience and understanding during this tough time. We will let you know when we have power and and are back to regular production schedule.

UPDATE:

Saturday January 31, 2009

My power at our house just came back. I am hoping it will not be very long at all till power is restored to our shop.

UPDATE:

Monday February 2, 2009

Power was restored to our shop late today at around 5:30PM!! We will be working hard the next few days to get our tanks back up and running and catching up with all things business. It will take a few days but we will be up and running very soon.

Please NOTE that it will take some serious time to catch up from getting behind on work. You can email us with your inquiries about your jobs but please NO phone calls. I thank you for your patience during this time of interruption.

Fall Update

What a summer it has been. Metaloy has been busier this year than ever thanks to you all. Thanksgiving is past and we look forward to Christmas and a new year.

It seems it was confirmed again this year that a time tested product and service second to none keeps loyal customers coming back month after month. Again...thank you.

We have a new president whether you like him or not. The economy is nuts. A new AWB may be looming on the horizon. Who knows? Metaloy will continue to push the envelope on quality finish work bar none!

Pistolsmiths, dealers, law enforcement and weekend shooters can firmly rely on Metaloy for your firearms finishing requirements. Don't forget we offer many pistolsmithing services that usually do not take months like other shops.

Turnaround & Wait Times 8/4/08

I write this to ask everyone to be patient in waiting for you guns to be finished. Within the last year and a half we are experiencing a fairly heavy work load. Currently we are still quoting 4 weeks plus on MOST finish work depending on what it is.

A reminder that we are not accepting phone calls during regular shop working hours which are M-F 8:00AM-5:00 PM CST. Your calls are very important but we are unable to be answering the many phone calls and still get work done.
Please leave a message and we WILL return your phone calls.

Emails are THE best way to communicate With us or ask questions. Thank you for your continued understanding concerning this matter.

Turnaround Time Update

6/23/08

We are currently scheduling complete guns at 4-5 weeks due to another big spike in jobs received in our shop. We appoligize for longer times but it happens from time to time. We are glad to be busy. Thank you for your support and your understanding of this matter.
