AGI Master Gunsmith in Live Oak Corrects Faulty Pin and Weld Job

Veteran-Owned Texas Gunsmith Fixes Botched Pin and Weld as 40th Five-Star Review Lands

Live Oak, United States – June 19, 2026 / RTF3TX Gunsmithing /

The online home of RTF3TX Gunsmithing, found at agicertifiedgunsmith.com, based in Live Oak, Texas, has reached a verified milestone of 40 five-star customer reviews, reflecting a consistent record of technical accuracy and disciplined service across the San Antonio area. The achievement stands as a direct result of real work performed on real firearms — jobs that demanded precision, patience, and the kind of problem-solving developed through military training and rigorous professional certification.

Discipline and Certification Behind the Numbers

The reviews accumulated at RTF3TX Gunsmithing are not the product of a marketing effort. They are the outcome of a deliberate approach to gunsmithing built on two foundational pillars: military service and formal education. Roland Lamothe holds an AGI Master Gunsmith certification — a credential that reflects an intensive, structured curriculum in firearm mechanics, safety, and repair. As an AGI certified gunsmith San Antonio customers have come to rely on, Lamothe brings a military background that demands accountability and precision under pressure, shaping how every firearm that enters the shop at 7505 Red Ripple St, Live Oak, TX 78233 is handled from the first inspection to the final function check.

The shop operates with full ATF and FBI compliance, and a safety-first standard is applied to every job regardless of complexity. That consistency is what the reviews reflect.

Three Jobs That Represent 40 Reviews

Among the customers who contributed to the milestone, three stand out as examples of the range of work the shop handles.

Marcus McMahn from San Angelo needed a fast, precise installation of a Forced Reset Trigger on a Taurus TX22. The job required both speed and technical confidence — McMahn needed a quick turnaround without sacrificing accuracy. RTF3TX Gunsmithing completed the install correctly and efficiently, shipping it back through their FFL Class 1 certification, which is exactly what the review reflected.

Don Kopper came in as an older gentleman who was just beginning to learn how to shoot. Rather than rushing through a transaction, the shop took time with him — walking through fundamentals, answering questions with patience, and treating the visit as a family-oriented experience rather than a simple service call. For Kopper, the interaction was as meaningful as the technical work, and that approach remains a deliberate part of how the shop operates.

Ethan Stein and Chris Stein brought their firearm to RTF3TX Gunsmithing after a pin and weld job performed elsewhere had been done incorrectly, putting Chris’s suppressor threads at risk. Correcting another technician’s error requires a different level of expertise than starting from scratch — it demands careful diagnosis, controlled disassembly, and confident rework. The shop identified the problem, corrected it properly, and preserved the suppressor threads that would have otherwise been lost to a costly mistake. That job illustrates the kind of technical problem-solving that a veteran owned gunsmith Texas customers can count on when the stakes are high.

A Family-Oriented Shop Built on Community Trust

Roland Lamothe does not operate on volume alone. The shop at RTF3TX Gunsmithing is structured around a family-first philosophy that treats each customer’s firearm the same way a craftsman treats a trusted tool — with respect, care, and an understanding of what it means to the person who owns it. That orientation extends to how new shooters are welcomed, how difficult repairs are communicated, and how safety is reinforced at every point of contact.

The Live Oak location serves customers throughout the greater San Antonio area and can be reached directly at (210) 740-1811. The 40-review milestone marks not just a number, but a documented record of work that held up under scrutiny — job by job, firearm by firearm.
