I wish there was a way to give more than 5 stars. I can't rave enough about the quality of work and customer service at Old Man Armory. Mike has Cerakoted a number of items for me now, from suppressors to pistol slides, and they have all come out *perfect*. His work is top-notch--the guy's a perfectionist--and it's only surpassed by his customer service. He noted a problem with the engraving on one of my cans, and he scheduled the re-engraving and got everything done fast. Can't recommend him high enough.

Mike does amazing work and he takes the time to make sure the job is exactly what you want. In a time when there are a lot of trades people out there, Mike is an artist and a craftsman. Couldn't recommend him more highly

Mike is as straightforward and honest as they come. Nothing less than 5-star results, very laid back to work with, knows his stuff and doesn't miss a single detail. He even greased my rifle when putting it all back together. Highly recommend for all your firearm needs!

Mike did cerakote on my glock and it came out absolutely amazing. He was very helpful and was able to finish it sooner than expected. His pricing was the best around and was even the best quality. It's worth the drive everytime.

Sent some small and large parts to Mike for Cerekote work. Very pleased with the turn around time and quality of the work. Everything came out exactly as I asked for it and I'll be going to Mike for any color work I want done in future.
