Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get my gun back from a cleaning?

The timeline for a cleaning depends on when we receive it, how extensive of a cleaning is required and how many firearms are ahead as we are a one-man operation.

Do you offer warranties on firearm repairs?

We stand behind our work. We do not offer a traditional warranty, but provide a test fire before returning your firearm and ask that you reach out in a timely manner with any concerns so that we may address them.

How long do repairs take?

That is a tricky question; repairs are based on troubleshooting, are parts needed (if we have to order parts from a third party we are at their discretion), upon receiving the parts it will depend on complexity of the repair. We will keep you up-to date on repairs and provide status updates as requested.

How long do appraisals take?

These will depend on the age, and condition of the firearm being brough to us. Also we request a little time to complete reasonable research to ensure we are giving you the best fair market/educated appraisal for your firearm.

Do you offer firearm safety/training classes?

Not at this time. Part of our five-year plan at Wessel Gunworks is to get into firearm safety and education, offering classes and demonstrations on cleaning, storage and eventually shooting. Once this happens we will make that announcement! 

Meet Wessel Gunworks

We’re a husband-and-wife team with a shared passion for the outdoors, firearms, and family. Tyler is a medically retired Air Force veteran with 13 years of service. A native of Grand Haven, Michigan, he developed a deep appreciation for firearms and hunting early on. During his decade stationed at Malmstrom AFB in Montana, Tyler took full advantage of the Rocky Mountains—learning from local experts and refining his skills. He later spent three years at Cape Canaveral, Florida, where he began formal studies in firearm technology and engineering.

Now enrolled at the Sonoran Desert Institute for Firearms Technology, Tyler has turned his lifelong hobby into a post-military career focused on firearms, hunting, and craftsmanship.

Toni, originally from Alaska, met Tyler in 2013, while he during his time in Montana and has been by his side ever since—supporting his passion. Together, they’ve made it a family tradition with their two children. Toni manages the day-to-day operations, customer service, and front-end of the business, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

At the heart of our work is a love for the outdoors, a commitment to quality, and a desire to share our knowledge and passion with others.
