RTF3TX Gunsmithing has reached a notable milestone, accumulating 74 consecutive five-star Google reviews as the only AGI-certified gunsmith service center in the San Antonio area -- a distinction that sets the Live Oak facility apart in a region where certified gunsmithing expertise is limited. The shop, operated exclusively by Master Gunsmith Roland Lamothe, serves Bexar County firearm owners, hunters, and competitive shooters from its single-technician facility in Live Oak, Texas.

A Solo Operation Built on Certification and Military Discipline

RTF3TX Gunsmithing functions as a one-craftsman facility by design. Every firearm that enters the shop is handled personally by Roland Lamothe, a US Army veteran who completed 10 years of military service including two major combat tours. That background informs the methodical, safety-first approach applied to every service the shop performs.

Lamothe holds certification through the American Gunsmithing Institute (AGI), making RTF3TX Gunsmithing the only AGI Certified Gunsmith San Antonio service center currently operating in the region. AGI certification requires demonstrated competency across a structured curriculum covering firearm mechanics, safety, and repair standards -- a credential that distinguishes the facility from general repair services operating without formal certification.

"Every firearm that comes through this door gets the same level of attention I would give a piece of equipment in the field," said Roland Lamothe, Master Gunsmith of RTF3TX Gunsmithing. "There are no shortcuts here, and there is no junior technician doing the work -- it is just me, and I stand behind every job I complete."

Services Spanning Diagnostics, Restoration, and Cerakote Refinishing

The shop's service menu covers a focused range of technical gunsmithing work. Precision diagnostic troubleshooting addresses feed, extraction, firing, and cycling issues with systematic inspection rather than assumption-based part replacement. Complete firearm restorations return worn or damaged firearms to functional condition, drawing on Lamothe's knowledge of both modern and legacy platforms.

Custom trigger tuning and action jobs represent a specialization that draws competitive shooters seeking measurable reductions in pull weight and improvements in reset consistency. These services require both mechanical skill and an understanding of how modifications interact with safety components -- a combination that demands the kind of careful calibration Lamothe applies as a Master Gunsmith in Live Oak, TX.

The facility is also a certified applicator of Cerakote refinishing in San Antonio, offering clients a polymer-ceramic coating process used across military, law enforcement, and sporting applications. Cerakote provides corrosion resistance, abrasion protection, and a finished appearance that holds up under field conditions. As the only certified Cerakote refinishing provider operating under full AGI credentials in the area, RTF3TX Gunsmithing fills a gap for owners who want both protective coating and verified technical competency from the same source.

Serving the Local Firearm Community Through Verifiable Standards

The 74 consecutive five-star reviews reflect consistent feedback from a client base that includes private firearm owners, hunters preparing for seasonal use, and competitive shooters maintaining performance equipment. Because the shop operates as a solo facility, turnaround timelines and communication run directly through Lamothe -- there is no intermediary between the gunsmith performing the work and the client who owns the firearm.

RTF3TX Gunsmithing's location in Live Oak positions it conveniently for residents throughout the broader San Antonio metropolitan area and Bexar County. The facility does not operate as a retail storefront, keeping its focus narrowly on service work performed to the technical standards Lamothe's AGI certification and military background demand.
