First and foremost, Middlebranch completely overhauled my Glock 45 (I would add pictures but sadly my phone wont let me) and did a phenomenal job and even threw in a free front iron to replace my factory defective one. Not only did He do that but he got it all done a week early due to it being my only carry gun!! Ive also purchased a full AR from Him, quality is amazing and prices are honestly some of the best Ive seen in the current gun market. 10/10 hands down the only machine shop I will go to for firearms customs and anything that has to do with machining and engraving!!
Mike TiN coated my 1911 slide and parts in the beginning of 2020. My slide came back perfect. But my barrel, bushing and thread protecter wasn’t the color I wanted.Edit- Mike responded and took care of my parts. He stripped and recoated them exactly the way I wanted. Thank you Mike!
Mike at Middlebranch Machine does fantastic work! I gave him my Glock 43 for some custom machining and coating and it turned out perfectly! He was very responsive and helpful when it came to the various questions I had. I have seen other work he has done as well and I would highly recommend Mike for any custom work you might be thinking about having done. I couldnt be more pleased with my overall experience with this company! A+UPDATE: Since my initial review I posted several years ago (above), I have had several other firearms sent to Mike at Middlebranch Machine and I couldnt be happier with the results. If you are looking to have something unique, upgrade a firearm or maybe just pick up a new one Middlebranch Machine is where you should go! Hands down one of the best in the game!
Mike is an amazing guy. Was able to get my new Wilson Combat sights installed on my Beretta 92A1 in about 30 minutes so I could use at my next competition. On fathers day weekend no less while looking after his four month old. Experience was great and quality work. Would recommend highly. I would give six stars if I could.
I got a new Savage Axis II Precision rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. Out of the box, it had a list of issues. It came with a twenty-two inch barrel and I decided to get a new twenty-eight inch bull barrel. The bolt and action had issues and needed to be trued. I already had the bolt worked on and upgraded. I did a lot of looking to find a more local gunsmith that I thought I could trust. I decided on Middle branch machine. When I took my rifle in and as we were discussing what needed to be done and what I wanted done, he just glanced at my bolt and right away KNEW what was done to it and pointed it out. I AM IMPRESSED. That required a keen eye for detail and specific knowledge of the details. The new barrel was shiny stainless and Middlebranch machine Cerikoted it for me in black to match the rest of the rifle. He blue printed my action, installed the new coated barrel and adjusted head spacing for me. The finished product is perfect. It provides for the basis of pride of workmanship and of ownership. The work was done within a reasonable period of time and done sooner than was discussed the possibility could be. What he charged to do the work was very reasonable. I got it home, even the girl friend that doesnt like guns, commented on how nice this is. I took it to the range and got compliments on it. Middlebranch machine will do all of my work from now on. i recommend them highly. It aint a Savage no more. lol
I talked with Mike over at Middlebranch Machine via email he was kind and had a answer for any questions I had. My staccato p and Beretta are now finished and were done in a timely and professional manner. Coatings Milling Custom work Im sure Middlebranch Machine has you covered. Thank you Mike and the crew of Middlebranch Machine
If I could give more than five stars, I would. I havedelt with other companies that offer similar servicesand have been terribly disappointed with turn time and quality of work. Coming up will be my fourthProject and have been completely satisfied withMiddlebranch Machine. Top notch quality of workand when they give you an estimated turn time youcan absolutely count on it!!!
Working with Middlebranch Machine on my project has far surpassed my expectations. Mikes communication was top notch and so was the quality of work he did. I went out on a limb shipping my parts out of state but the turnaround was twice as quick as any of the local shops and he was able to do what I needed for a great price. Unless your best friend runs a machine shop specializing in firearms you’ll be hard pressed to find a better place to do business with.
I had a fantastic experience with Middlebranch Machine. They had great, very quick service and I received my order quickly as well. They even went out of their way to find the right color barrel thread cover for me even though they didn’t have it in stock. I would 100% recommend buying from them.
I just got my 1911 slide back from being milled and a Holosun 507k mounted. I dealt with Mike at Middlebranch Machine and the deal went smooth as silk. I contacted Mike and made arrangements to mail my slide and sight. I texted him a couple times after hours and he texted back within a couple minutes. The weapon looks fantastic, the titanium nitride coating matched the rest and looks great. Total time was 3 weeks, just like Mike told me it would be. Highly recommended.
I would highly recommend Middlebranch Machine for any type of gunsmith work. Mike is very professional and delivers high quality work on a quick turnaround. He also has a selection of custom Glocks and other interesting items - I suggest checking out his Instagram page to get an idea of the impressive work he does.Mike has helped me with FFL transfers, night sight installation, slide cut with RMR installation, and nitride coating... with great service and quality each time.
Absolutely excellent work! Mike always answered my calls or texts personally, and provided answers to any questions I had. He said he could mill my Ruger SR1911 slide in about a week, and he had it back to me in that time. Wonderful work and great personal service. Cannot recommend highly enough!
I have had Mike do several things, to include cerakote, machining red dots on pistols, clean and configure, as well as order specific items. He has always been informative, relatively quick, and his work is top notch. I’ve never had an issue with his service or work quality and not sure why anyone else would. He is my one stop shop for all things firearms and I’ve been going to him for some time now. If you’re looking for a quality smith, machinist, or just a good dude to help you with your firearm needs, hit him up... you won’t be disappointed.
Turn around time twice as fast.Mike assured 2 weeks.2 barrels and 1 slide finished in 7days.Glock barrel /rose combined with slide /greyTicn(rose) with TiB2(silver)brilliant color combination ...Beretta 96A1 barrel in silverperfect pairing with factory finish blackCoatings look goodColors clean true...Finishes smooth and fluid throughout.I am pleased to find a reliabledependable, quality conscious coatings company closer to home ...Ohio to TennesseeThank you gentlemanMore work to follow
Middlebranch Machine is no joke. Couldnt be happier with the tungsten cerakoted frame and titanium nitride/crowned barrel for my CZ p10s. Their very responsive to instant messages/emails and answer the phone. I will definitely be using their services again. I highly recommend them.
I would definitely recommend this place...the communication and turn around time is top notch. They had my project done within a month and not only that, it was very well done. I had a complicated piece submitted for black nitride and Mike answered my questions and concerns. They treated it carefully and everything came out as it should. One of a kind piece, so I couldnt be happier about it.
If you need a quality gunsmith, this is the place to go. Top notch quality work for a very reasonable price. Every order I have placed through Middlebranch has been done extremely fast. Not to mention the staff is really helpful and friendly. Save yourself time and dont even mess around with other places. Just go to Middlebranch. You wont be disappointed.
Stumbled on Middlebranch Machine through a generic Google search for TiN services. Mike was helpful and the overall experience was fantastic. Work was top notch with great prices and communication was great. Highly recommend Middlebranch Machine, you won’t be disappointed!
I had a big jamming problem with my vintage 1911 Colt 45. I dropped the handgun off and within the hour, received a call back. The problem was that the barrel had split almost the whole length! Mike replaced the barrel at a very reasonable price. Later, he adjusted the round loading springs for no charge. I highly recommend Middlebranch Machine.
If your looking for a professional gunsmith this is the place to go, These guys are top notch and they did an excellent job with some machine work to my riffle and they also did a nice job adding a bent bolt to my riffle. They welded the new handle on to the bolt, machined it, and it looks great. It didn’t take long at all to get my gun back and it was exactly what I asked for.
I’ve been a customer of MIddlebranch Machine for a few years now. I’ve asked them to do the almost impossible on some custom work as well as basic gun smithing. This shop doesn’t disappoint and will take care of their customers.Since learning about Middlebranch Machine I’ve recommended them to many others.Look no further their expertise, quality and customer service is second to none.
I had an awesome experience with the company Middle Branch machine and owner Mike!I was in a time crunch and Mike MADE THE TIME to help me!! I was so pleased with his kind attitude and willingness to help. I will use him for all my projects and spread the word to everyone!Thank You Mike.
I am very pleased with the work that middlebranch Machine did to my beretta 92s. Fantastic work that came back flawless in a short amount of time at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Mikes work and customer service. I will definitely be having more work done in the future.
Mike At Middlebranch Machining was amazing. Contacting him through Instagram. Had two barrels I wanted to tiN Coat. A lone wolf and a KKM. I was skeptical since one was scratched. However. They had the fastest turnaround time from any other place including Lone Wolf and other top names on the market today. The price was amazing. And the quality of work is perfect. The coating and finish is seriously flawless. It looks better than a stock tiN Coating. The shipment back was packed very well. Better than the way I shipped it to them. Thank you so much guys
Mike at Middlebranch Machine has completed a number of projects for me that range from simple-assemblies to fully-customized work. Not only would I consider Mike to be an expert at what he does, he is extremely professional and is someone I trust to get the work done right. I will continue to send my business to Middlebranch Machine, I would also highly-reccomend their work to anyone looking to support a small-business offering quality products and services at a great price.
Im really particular with my firearms. And that also means who I have touch them. These guys cerakoted Patriots Ordinance Factory rifle for me. They took apart the ambidextrous receiver and everything for me. Absolutely knocked it of the park on color. Put everything back together proper. Its like it was never torn apart. Service was great. Fast turn around and great people. Highly recommend. Mimewill see more from me.
More than impressed with the level of customer care and time Middle Branch puts into their work. To make a long story short, I brought my H&K P30(a pistol that typically does not host a Trijicon RMR very well) and he made it happen and still maintained the factory sight dovetail with a custom carbon fiber filler plate. The build is rigid and an excellent looking firearm ! Thanks again Middle Branch Machine. I will be back !!
Honestly didn’t expect to get in and out so quickly. Quickest response times and honestly turn around I’ve ever seen. Thank you for everything. I wouldn’t bother contacting anyone else anymore as the customer service and work haven’t been matched by anyone else. 10/10 will be coming back

2022-02-11This guy is amazing. I took my 45acp slide to him with a stripped rear sight screw. He machined (re-threaded) the stripped screw and reinstalled it in about 3 minutes. Fixed while I waited! He, also, aligned the rear sight to the slide. Very fast, efficient, and excellent quality work. He took some time and answered a few other questions I had. Very pleasant to talk to.Ive already told a few others about his work, and if you need any professional, quality gunsmithing work done, definitely check this guy out.

2022-02-04The people at Middle Branch Machine are awesome!! I was working on a build and needed some parts titanium nitride coated and reached out to them to get an idea on pricing. They helped me figure out price for all my small parts. Everything came back looking like GOLD! Turn around time was very fast and the final build came out better than I expected! Will be sending another project over soon!Thanks guys keep up the great work!!

2022-01-10I have been looking for TiN coating for several months. Most places are on the west coast which isnt ideal because the TiN coating takes time bit adding the time to ship to and from the west coast wasnt ideal. Then I stumbled upon Middlebranch Machine. I was extremely pleased with the results and it exceeded my expectations; the longer wait time was due to the holidays so I in no way can fault Mike for the delay. He still got it done very quick. My bolt carrier is a low mass carrier so it has a bunch of cuts and angles to deal with. Mike did a fantastic job and will definitely go to him for future projects!

2022-05-11Had Middlebranch mill a p365 slide for a 507k a while back, was impressed so when I got an MPS for my 320 I went back and had that milled along with some engraving and cerakote. He knocked it out of the part, got it back looking better than what I had in my head. Excellent work is done here, my go to recommendation.

2022-05-26Mike at Middlebranch Machine did a wonderful job at fulfilling my order request. I sent the parts out to be machined and coated. It did not turn out as expected but Mike said he would try to provide the best alternative to the alteration. He stood by with integrity to meet any of my suggestions. My PX4 Storm never looked better!

2022-04-01I cant say enough about the superb aspects of Middlebranch Machine. The titanium nitride finish on one of my barrels was expertly applied and the resultant completion is amazing! It is wonderful doing business with a company that is well run and prides itself on quality and execution. The turn around time was as stated and the entire process was simple, direct and thorough. You wont find a better run or more capable shop to serve your needs! fantastic experience!

2022-02-04I could not be more impressed with Middlebranch Machine. The customer service was exceptional. All of my questions (of which there were a lot) were answered almost immediately. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is incredible. They did complicated engravings and top quality refinishing on one of my firearms and I could not be happier with the results. I think the thing I most appreciated was their little additions to the work that were not requested but were mentioned later as being an improvement: hand smoothing of the metal grain of the piece to better aesthetically match the type of finish that was being applied. This was not required, nor requested, but very much improved the end product. You get the feeling that they don’t just treat your project like a job, but rather, like an art.5/5 no questions asked. If you need high quality work done and don’t want to trust your prized firearm to just anyone, go with Middlebranch Machine. You will not regret it.

2022-05-25Absolutely would 100% recommend! I am a HUGE fan of the Resident Evil series of games, and as a police officer, a sport shooter, and a gamer, I wanted to do a Samurai Edge Custom Beretta, and after someone in recommended Middlebranch, Ill be sending in a few other of my guns for customization. Mike was super patient, answered all my questions and was super fast about getting me what I wanted and making sure I got it back fast! I look forward to doing future business with this AMAZING company

2022-01-14I had asked Mike to do a custom engraving job on my Beretta slide and it turned out exactly as advertised. The only thing I will say he was wrong about was the turnaround time. He told me it would take a little over a month, but it actually took about two weeks! He was quick to respond to emails, and an overall pleasure to work with. If I have anymore engraving or machining work I will definitely be asking him first.

2022-04-15Mike is in a tier of his own. His politeness, knowledge, and professionalism was exemplary. On top of having an uncommon build request, he returned to me a beautifully optic milled slide all within a week and a half of drafting the first email I sent to him about sending it in. There isnt another place that Id trust to produce amazing quality at this pace. If you hate crazy long lead times and love expert work, stop wasting more time and get it done right with Mike!
