Injection molding, from a shop that holds the licence

We have open injection molding capacity and we are actively taking on work. Scientific molding, an RJG Master Molder® II on staff, and a licence that lets us quote the work most shops turn down.

Why this is different

Most injection molders will not quote firearms work. Not because they can't do it — because of insurance, internal policy, or simple unfamiliarity with the regulatory side. We are a licensed 07 FFL manufacturer with a Class 2 SOT. The compliance questions that make other shops walk away are just how we already operate.

And we run scientific molding, not trial and error. We have an RJG-certified Master Molder® II on staff and two eDART® systems on the floor.

Scientific molding, in house

Master Molder® II is RJG's advanced certification. It covers cavity-pressure process control and DECOUPLED MOLDING® III — developing processes around what the plastic actually experiences in the cavity rather than what the machine is set to. It is a two-week qualification that requires Master Molder® I first, and it is not common in a shop this size.

Paired with our two eDART® systems and in-mold sensors, that means:

CapabilityWhat it means for your part
Cavity pressure controlThe process holds to what the plastic sees, not just machine settings — so parts stay consistent as material viscosity drifts between lots
Process monitoring & containmentSuspect parts are detected and contained at the press, not discovered by you later
Documented process windowsYour process is recorded on a universal setup sheet in machine-independent terms, not held in one operator's head
Machine & mold qualificationWe can properly qualify a mold to a press rather than guessing at the fit
Process transferA validated process can be matched onto a different press — useful if you scale or move tooling

Why this matters for firearms components. Function and safety depend on parts being the same every time, not on average. Cavity-pressure control is how you get repeatability you can document rather than repeatability you hope for — and it is the difference between a shop that molds parts and a shop that can prove what it molded.

What we're looking for

Why work with us

Licensed

07 FFL manufacturer, Class 2 SOT. We can legally handle work that most molders turn away, including regulated components.

Scientific molding

RJG Master Molder® II on staff, two eDART® systems. Cavity-pressure process control and documented, transferable processes.

Small runs welcome

We're not chasing million-piece contracts. If your volume is awkward for a big shop, it's probably right for us.

You talk to the owner

No account manager, no ticket queue. The person quoting your job is the person running it.

US-based

Palm City, Florida. Domestic production, no overseas lead times, and no export headaches on controlled work.

Getting a quote

Email Aaron@burntofferingsdefense.com with whatever you have. A drawing is ideal, but a photo and a description is enough to start a conversation.

What helps us quote quickly:

Already have tooling? Send us the specs and we'll tell you honestly whether it will run on our equipment. If it won't, we'll say so rather than take the job and find out later.

Export-controlled work

Defense articles carry ITAR and EAR obligations that sit on both parties. If your part is controlled, tell us up front and we'll work through the requirements with you before anything is quoted — not after.
