I had a training class for work in Sayreville today that got out a bit early - I was exempt from the exam. So I figured I would take the Modern Materiel guys up on an invite offer and stop by their shop (GSD Coatings/Modern Materiel) in Keyport on the way home.

 

Went inside and met Pete and RePete. Awesome guys. They gave me the nickel tour and let me check out the pro shop, the work shop, and the paint/coat booth. They answered all my questions and showed me how they build the guns and coat them. I got to mess with some of the stuff they are currently working on and they demo'd some new stuff that they are thinking of doing. We talked a lot about the differences, and similarities, in requirements for a range gun, a gamer gun, and a duty gun and how people approach buying new guns from their needs. I messed with coated guns, stippled pistols, AK and AR parts galore.... I was in heaven.

 

We shot the shit about where they are headed in the future and if all works out well, I am excited for these guys. They are passionate about firearms and are very detail oriented - I saw guns in all stages of assembly and no steps were skipped or skimped (I was looking ). Their finished product was very nice - the work they do to smooth out a stock AR trigger was very nice. I was jealous of the owners of the firearms I got to see. I even picked up a Holosun optic (T1 clone) at a fair price from the pro shop to torture on a training gun and see what's up with them.

 

Joe, Pete, and Pete are doing some great stuff in this god awful state. Check them out if you are looking for any custom work. Seriously, support some local guys and help them succeed.

 

The best part of the tour was - I just couldn't believe how many guns they were working on for customers. It made my heart soar like an eagle to know there were that many gun owners in this state already supporting them.

 

Full disclosure - I am in no way affiliated professionally with Modern Materiel or GSD coatings. They came and demo'd some rifles at work a few weeks back and offered an invite. I merely took them up on their gracious offer to tour their place and am excited to share what's happening with a firearms manufacturer in NJ with you guys.

I told you about them when I had my Colt done couple years ago. I think you wanted to get a rifle done at the time or something. The pro shop was still being built but they were all nice guys.

Sounds like a great shop! Please let us know how the holosun works out after you beat the crap out of it

I see them post on here. They should say hi and post pics
