Ultrasonic Cleaning At The Center


I operate Lost Armadillo Gun-Cleaning in Willoughby with a focus on ultrasonic cleaning, FFL transfers, gunsmith support, insurance appraisals, firearm identification, valuation, and handgun cleaning memberships. Established in 2026, my business serves firearm owners across the Cleveland Metropolitan Area while keeping attention on thorough cleaning, inspection, lubrication, and practical firearm maintenance needs for local customers.

More Than Surface Maintenance


Firearm cleaning can take time, and manual tools may leave residue in areas that are difficult to reach. I use ultrasonic cavitation to clean field-stripped components, including areas around the barrel, trigger, and action. After cleaning, I inspect and lubricate the firearm, giving owners a more thorough maintenance option than quick surface cleaning at home.

Firearm Knowledge Behind Each Visit


As an owner-operator, I handle the work behind Lost Armadillo Gun-Cleaning. Sixty years as a gun owner inform my approach, alongside service as an Army Captain, Texas License to Carry and NRA Pistol Instructor certifications, Single Action Shooting Society membership, and gunsmith certification. This background supports personal responsibility for every firearm I receive for service.

Owner & Operator


As owner and operator, I bring a detail-focused perspective to every aspect of Lost Armadillo Gun-Cleaning. Outside the business, photography remains an important part of my work, with a focus on black and white images where composition, contrast, observation, and fine visual details guide my creative approach.
