Pristine Laser Restoration accepts shipped firearms components for laser cleaning through our Ship-To Program. We clean bolt carrier groups, barrels, slides, triggers, and other individual parts using a fiber laser that removes carbon fouling, rust, old coatings, and surface contamination without altering dimensions, tolerances, or engravings. We accept components only and do not accept complete, assembled firearms. Our facility does not hold a Federal Firearms License. Customers shipping serialized parts such as frames and receivers are responsible for confirming compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local shipping laws.
Ship It. We Prep It. You Finish It.
Carbon fouling builds up in places a brush cannot reach. Rust forms on pieces that sat in storage too long. Old coatings need to come off before refinishing. Laser cleaning removes all of it without altering dimensions, changing tolerances, or grinding into engravings, proof marks, and serial numbers. Ship us the component. We clean it and send it back ready for reassembly, refinishing, or return to service.
SHIP-TO PROCESS FOR FIREARMS COMPONENTS
Send Photos. Ship the Component. Get It Back Clean.
Send Us Photos and Details
Use the form below or email us photos of the component. Tell us what it is, what is on it (carbon, rust, old coating), and what the component needs to be ready for (reassembly, refinishing, inspection). We review and respond with a quote within one business day.
Ship the Component to Us
Once you approve the quote, we send packing instructions and our shipping address. You pack the component securely and ship it to our facility. We recommend insured shipping with tracking for all components.
Important: We clean individual components only. We do not accept complete, assembled firearms. We do not hold a Federal Firearms License (FFL). If your part has a serial number (frames and receivers), check with a licensed firearms dealer before shipping to confirm you are following applicable federal, state, and local laws. Most other components such as barrels, bolt carrier groups, slides, triggers, and handguards ship without restriction.
We Clean the Component
We inspect the component on arrival, confirm the scope, and clean it using the fiber laser. Parameters are set for the specific material and contamination type. We photograph the result and notify you when it is ready to ship back.
We Ship It Back to You
The cleaned component is packed securely and shipped back to you with tracking. It arrives ready for reassembly, refinishing, or return to service. Return shipping cost is included in your quote.
BEFORE AND AFTER
Firearm component during laser cleaning. Carbon fouling and surface contamination removed.
Component detail. Original finish and tolerances preserved through the cleaning process.
Laser cleaning removes carbon fouling, rust, old coatings, and surface contamination from firearms components using a fiber laser. The laser energy is tuned to the ablation threshold of the contaminant layer so that carbon deposits, iron oxide, Cerakote, DuraCoat, park finish, and other surface materials vaporize on contact. The base metal underneath has a significantly higher ablation threshold, which means the laser removes the contamination without reaching into the substrate. Dimensions, tolerances, engravings, proof marks, serial numbers, and roll marks remain unchanged because they are features of the metal itself and not part of the contamination layer. An integrated fume extraction system captures vaporized particles during the cleaning process. The operator adjusts laser parameters for each specific component, material, and contamination type and tests a small area first to confirm the settings before proceeding with the full part.
Carbon Out. Rust Gone. Tolerances and Detail Preserved.
Send us photos and tell us what the component is, what contamination is on it, and what it needs to be ready for. We will tell you what the laser can do, what the job costs, and how to ship the part to us.

Laser cleaning offers significant advantages over ultrasonic cleaning and bead blasting for firearms components. Ultrasonic tanks agitate solvent around the part, which works for light carbon and oil but struggles with baked-on fouling, rust, and applied coatings. Ultrasonic cleaning also requires chemical solvents that need disposal and cannot selectively target specific contamination types. Bead blasting removes contamination effectively but is an abrasive process that alters surface dimensions, rounds sharp edges, and can obscure fine engravings, proof marks, and serial numbers over repeated applications. Bead media can also embed in threaded areas and gas ports. Laser cleaning removes carbon, rust, and coatings without contacting the surface, without chemicals, and without altering dimensions or detail. The process is repeatable because it does not remove base material.
