DCOA stands for Disassembly, Clean, Oil (lubricate) and Assembly. Every gun that comes into the shop
DCOA (except maybe brand new guns for scopes and trigger jobs) gets a full. That means the gun is
disassembled down to just parts, detent balls, springs, and pins. While doing a DCOA, I can determine
the condition of the gun and what its problems may be. Included in these type inspections are head
spacing, loading, feeding, chambering, firing, extraction and ejection. The magazines of these guns must
properly allow the next round to slide rearward in the tube. The safety of the gun is paramount. The gun
must be safe before I return it to you.

Pistols may need a new firing pin, extractor, or they may need the chamber polished to 600 grit.
Barrels that need to be replaced need fitting and testing for good lockup.

Revolvers need to be Ranged for exact alignment. They must be checked to ascertain that the
hammer does not fall before there is complete lock-up of the cylinder. Cylinders must be in
tolerance for end-shake and cylinder slop. Trigger jobs on all revolvers and pistols must be done
with the proper tools and without cutting springs. Custom work on any gun usually includes new
parts that are manufactured to higher tolerances and reduced weight. They must be fitted to the
individual gun. This work will probably require the gun to be re-blued if it is not stainless.

On Handguns, I can install and tune new spring and pin sets for improved performance, custom
color the slide and/or frame of any pistol to suit your taste. I do metal finishing including bluing, bead
blasting, baked on laquor or moly-teflon paints. AND of course, detailed cleaning plus polishing of
needed parts and test firing is always done before the gun is returned to you.
