When shipping a firearm to Custom Shop Inc for repair/restoration, you MUST include a copy of your driver’s license. We will not accept a private party transfer without it. Failing to include your driver’s license could delay our ability to accept your firearm and result in the firearm being returned to you at an additional return shipping charge.
