Gunsmith Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last eight years keeping firearms safe and reliable, with a focus on precise fitting and durable assemblies. In a recent project, I refurbished a batch of 50 service rifles, replacing worn parts and realigning receivers to factory tolerances. The work required careful measurement and a steady hand, and the result was zero returns within the first six months of deployment. I’m comfortable with dismantling and reassembling firearms, replacing defective parts, and calibrating precision instruments. I use hand tools, power tools, and specialised machines to verify headspace, timing, and trigger pull. I’m interested in [Company Name] because the role lines up with the hands-on, methodical approach I value in maintenance and repair, and I’m keen to contribute to quality and safety standards. One memorable job involved diagnosing an intermittent failure in a semi‑automatic platform. After inspecting the feed system and springs, I found a subtle timing issue that could have caused misfeeds under stress. I adjusted the correspondence between components and documented a clear repair path, then prepared a cost estimate and a quote for the client. The gun functioned reliably after the fix, and that type of careful, evidence-based approach is how I work. I’m available for a discussion at your convenience and can start next week. I’d be glad to share more specifics about my process and the tools I use to keep critical systems dependable. Kind regards, [Your Name]
