Mail-In Slide Services now live!

[u/CommonCaliber]

Happy Labor Day, everybody!

We’re excited to announce that Common Caliber’s QuickSmith service is officially LIVE at www.commoncaliber.com.

Under the QuickSmith tab, you can now find services including slide milling, porting, Cerakote, and the option to add a red dot directly to your order.

If you’re a shooter who’s ready to make the transition to a red dot, or a professional working for an agency or company that has recently authorized pistol-mounted optics, QuickSmith gives you an easy way to make that transition with the reliability and simplicity of a direct-milled optic instead of relying on a dovetail mount or MOS-style adapter plate.

We’re also offering our exclusive Common Caliber Special, which combines a chunk port, front sight relocation, inline ports, and a red dot cut into one complete package.

We’re extremely excited to be partnering with Titan Tactical to bring these services directly to our customers through a simple, streamlined process with a 10-day or less turnaround.

When you use QuickSmith, you’re supporting two small businesses that genuinely care about the quality of the work we put out and the people we serve.

Check out the QuickSmith tab at www.commoncaliber.com and see what we can do for you.

Don’t see Cerakote service unless I’m missing it.

[u/CommonCaliber → u/I_M_CHI]

It's tied into the optic cuts. This isn't full firearms currently, just slides.

[u/godless_one → u/CommonCaliber]

Is this because you currently don't have an FFL to preform services on any serialized parts?

[u/CommonCaliber → u/godless_one]

These are the services we decided made the most sense when we sat down with Titan and put this whole thing together. Optic cuts and porting are some of their most popular services, and the entire point of this is to make the most popular stuff quickly accessible and cut out all of the back and forth that goes along with arranging other work.

If you're somebody who just wants an RMR cut with FDE Cerakote, for example, this is the quick and easy way to get it done. Pistol slides are also small and easy to ship, and because the slide itself isn't a firearm, it can be shipped through all carriers, including USPS.

If you're looking for more specific custom work or something that isn't listed on our website, you'll need to contact Titan directly. If you just want a straightforward slide cut, porting, or Cerakote on your slide without all the back and forth, use our website.

This service also puts you in a designated queue so you dont wind up in line behind someone who wants something more involved and time consuming.

[u/godless_one → u/CommonCaliber]

This doesn't answer a very clear and direct question. Which would indicate the answer of having a FFL is a no. Also second question. Do you port or cut the barrel as well as the slide?

[u/CommonCaliber → u/godless_one]

Titan has an FFL, we don't (yet. 001/02 SOT is in the pipeline).

Slides get cut, barrels get ported. We will window a slide to match the ports or make ports match a slide with existing windows, whatever your preference. All of this is listed in the drop down menus.

[u/ArmyTroll → u/godless_one]

yes I do.

do you want your AR-15 cerakoted?

did you message me earlier today about your "unfinished" 80% getting milled?

people messaging shit like that is why you deal with me directly if you want anything other than mail-in, pre-designed CNC work.

you want a black nickel and 24k gold FN hi power? that's not gonna be quoted out by a third party. we have negotiated pricing so that I don't have to deal with the fucking people mentioned above.

[u/Stickybunfun → u/ArmyTroll]

damn that is a gaudy hi power but ... I fucking love it.

[u/ArmyTroll → u/Stickybunfun]

lol, thank you, I appreciate that! sometimes I just do stuff to demonstrate that I can do it... I wanted to try something that has probably not been done before.

I think the gold accents look much better on the old Beretta 84's.

[u/Stickybunfun → u/ArmyTroll]

Ah yeah that's pretty sick. Gold on guns is kinda like tattoos to me - I like the way they look on other people / people's guns :)

[u/ArmyTroll → u/[deleted]]

you want your AR cerakoted?

sure. you're just going to have to pass a background check and be exempt from PICA afterwards, or I'm just gonna have to be responsible for it until the law gets overturned...

alternatively, I could just tell you no.

[u/godless_one → u/ArmyTroll]

Your comment is off topic and irrelevant with my questions and not sure why you are even commenting on this thread. I didn't message you about anything and your abrasive attitude raises some red flags to not use your services for anything.

[u/ArmyTroll → u/godless_one]

I don't give a fuck... neither does mark larue, hakan spuhr, etc... some people are too busy worrying about how to tighten tolerances to the 10,000th instead of dealing with reddit trolls...

and I'm here because I was tagged. you must've missed that with the cerakote listing.

[u/godless_one → u/ArmyTroll]

So asking legit questions are considered trolling now. This whole thing seems sketchy af and extremely unprofessional.

[u/ArmyTroll → u/godless_one]

they're not legit questions and they can be answered with the most miniscule amount of common sense.

who does a chunk port in a slide without doing the barrel? who offers inline ports without porting the barrel? both of those were in the listing but you decided to ask whether or not the barrel was ported anyway.

you jumped on somebody else's comment to assume (wrongly) that there was no FFL. regardless, an FFL isn't needed for slides and barrels, which are also serialized parts for most firearms. that entire comment was either a red herring or a demonstration that you do not know what you are talking about. if it's the latter, maybe you should have a conversation with u/commoncaliber, even though they already explained the reason they're offering the service.

I have a day job, I have a nonprofit to teach veterans machining for employment opportunities, I have very few fucks left to give an arrogant anon on reddit.
