Built on Precision. Drivin by Purpose.
Bearded Gunworks is your go to for custom AR builds and firearm engraving. Bearded Gunworks was founded on a simple principle: do it right, or don’t do it at all.
Based out of Rock Hill, SC, we aren’t here to compete with the established shops in the area, but to supplement services offered in the Carolinas with custom engraving needs, and custom firearms. With the rise in SBR and SBS registrations, ATF-compliant engraving demand has increased. At BGW our services have some of the best rates around!
We offer much more than custom engravings. From Custom firearm Builds, to convenient firearms transfers, parts and firearm sourcing, and firearm customization.
We believe in the 2nd Amendment and want to make sure everyone can exercise their rights, within your budget. We will strive to get you the best bang for your buck and suggest the best in any price range.
Our Approach
At Bearded Gunworks, we believe firearms services should be handled with precision, professionalism, and clear communication. Whether you’re building a custom rifle, completing a firearm transfer, or having a firearm professionally engraved, every job is approached with the same attention to detail.
Our goal is simple: provide dependable firearm services without the confusion or long wait times often associated with large retail gun shops. By operating primarily through scheduled appointments, we ensure each customer receives focused service and the time needed to answer questions, review options, and complete transactions properly.
From first-time buyers to experienced shooters and collectors, Bearded Gunworks is committed to providing a straightforward and professional experience.

Custom AR Builds & Build Kits
Custom AR-15 builds are one of the core services offered by Bearded Gunworks. We work with customers to source high-quality components and assemble rifles tailored to their specific needs, whether that means performance upgrades, reliability improvements, or a fully customized build from the ground up.
Many shooters want the benefits of a custom rifle but don’t want to invest in specialized tools or deal with the complexity of sourcing compatible components. Our custom build process removes those obstacles.
With a Bearded Gunworks custom build, customers benefit from:
• Carefully sourced, high-quality components
• Professional assembly and inspection
• Proper torque specifications and installation procedures
• Functional testing and reliability checks
Whether you’re looking for a complete AR-15 build, upper receiver build, lower receiver assembly, or component upgrades, we make the process simple and transparent.
Firearm & NFA Engraving
Bearded Gunworks provides professional firearm laser engraving and NFA engraving services for individuals who require compliant markings or want custom engraving work performed on their firearms.
NFA engraving is commonly required for individuals filing ATF Form 1 applications when manufacturing an NFA item such as a short-barreled rifle. Proper engraving must meet specific ATF requirements related to depth, size, and placement.
Our engraving services are performed using precision laser engraving equipment designed to produce clean, professional markings that meet federal guidelines.
Common engraving services include:
• NFA Form 1 engraving
• Trust or individual engraving
• Custom firearm markings
• Manufacturer-compliant engraving
Each engraving is completed with attention to compliance requirements while maintaining a clean and professional finish.
