Dear Friends and Valued Customers,
If you haven't used our services in the last few years please note we moved to the beautiful state of ALABAMA. We have re-established our new facility a little further upland from Florida, in good deer country, and slightly north of the coastal hurricane belt. I guess we swapped Hurricanes for Tornados looking out the window today.
And it was time to upgrade the website. This will take time. We are a large company in scope, and small in the way we do business. This is a hands on business and most processes require talent to do things well. The best way to explain the myriad of products we have and processes we perform was to split the site into "What we can do" and "What does it cost". Larger pictures and more explanations make it easier for you to see our quality. PDF Adobe file price lists make it easier for you read, download and assimilate. It should be easier to estimate what it will cost. This is an ongoing project and takes time, so we apologize if we have a glitch here or there.
Our Company:

It's important to know who you ship your gun to and clearly what is being done to it . After all to most folks their personal protection firearm or competition piece, their hunting rifle or shotgun, duty weapon or heirloom is a very intimate matter.

Diversification, you get the best for your needs. The finishes are as diversified as the customers interests are. And many of our finishes offer more than just protection from the elements or a new look.
• Our premier product Hard Chrome is an essential natural friction remover for the "accurized" firearms we build. It prevents "galling" on some softer or dissimilar metals.
• In Gunsmithing, we began as one of the pioneers of competition-style enhancements such as compensators. We were one of the first in offering them on competition guns and then taking that knowledge to concealed carry pistols and revolvers.
• And we are a little different in our approach to smithing, As an integral part of Accurate, the in-house Cogan Custom Shop offers Professional Gunsmithing, not mass production assembly techniques as used on almost all types of firearms.
• Mass production sometimes means a larger hammer. We build custom guns from your existing firearm or parts, and parts we may have or supply. Again, gunsmithing and finish restoration under one roof, your gun never leaves our shop.
• Your patronage over the past 30 years is deeply appreciated. And we will continue to offer you the same outstanding AP&W Service and Quality, the only difference being our address.

These firearms help forge this country, feed this country, and have defended the freedoms that this country was built on.

NEW!CONTACT US FOR QUOTES BY PHONE!
Please, If you are interested in a speed quote for your firearm, you may call us and speak with our office manager, a friendly human being. No more cursing the phone cue out, with the usual language choice with press one for tamales and two for pizza and then they cut you off. I once said if bullets could travel by phone there would be a lot of dead answering machines.
Some things are done better the old fashioned way. Like gun smithing, slow precision work. Less mistakes too. Email is fine but takes too long to type out those long answers and the phone is faster.
