About WMD Guns

WMD Guns is what happens when you bring together a diverse team of experts at the top of their fields. We’ve united metallurgists, chemists, gunsmiths and plating engineers to establish one of the top firearm coating companies in the industry.

WMD Guns products are the outcome of that collective expertise. We sell whole firearms, chassis and individual components that we produce and plate in-house, as well as offerings from other top manufacturers. Many of our selections are made to order.

If you’re looking for high-volume performance coatings, performance coated firearms or high-grade plated gun parts to complete your own build, you’re in the right place.

Advantages of Working With the Gun Coating Experts

Custom gun coatings like nickel boron are more popular than ever thanks to their many functional and aesthetic benefits, but they are not all created equal. The formula itself, the application method and the component being plated must all be suited to each other to result in a premium product.

One of the most popular coatings, nickel boron is highly prized for its striking appearance, natural lubricity, and resistance to heat, wear, and chemical damage. It’s also one of the more challenging to apply correctly, so you’ll find plenty of suppliers releasing substandard items with poor coating practices and formulas that aren’t rated for firearm applications.

WMD products are different. We design firearm components knowing the processes they will undergo, and we use a proprietary nickel boron formulation — NiB-X® — specifically engineered to deliver the lubricity and resilience demanded for peak function in a firearm. We led the charge in perfecting firearm components with nickel boron, and our NiB-X® technology is second to none.

As an experienced gun plating service, we offer a variety of other in-demand gun coatings, including salt bath nitride (Nitromet, Melonite), electroless nickel teflon, electroless nickel boron nitride, PVDs, DLC, decorative ceramic topcoatings and more. And we put them all on exhaustively tested, top-grade products ready to perform in any environment.

About Our Firearms and Parts

AR-platform firearms have a reputation for being the grown-up version of building blocks — and they’ve earned it. WMD Guns caters to customers who want to build their own ideal rig with a vast selection of American-made gun parts. Along with AR components, we sell Glock 19 slides and barrels, and we’re constantly expanding our inventory.

However, we also sell complete firearms, including AR-15s, AR-10s and various semi-custom chassis models. Use our simple guide to see how to buy WMD firearms online, then get ready to see sub MOA performance right out of the box.

Since we include gunsmiths in our manufacturing process and design pieces with our coatings in mind, WMD Guns products deliver a level of fit and finish competitors can’t match.
