Factory AR-15s are a compromise. The barrel, handguard, trigger and stock are chosen for a price point, not for you. At PM Customs, we build AR-style rifles, pistols and short-barreled rifles around how you actually shoot: hog control on Oklahoma farmland, coyotes at dusk, home defense, or a dependable truck gun. As a licensed firearms manufacturer and FFL/SOT in Yukon, Oklahoma, we assemble every build in-house and then complete the transfer with you in person. Most of our builds are chambered in 5.56 NATO / .223 Remington, and typical turnaround is 5–10 days.
How a build works
- Talk it through. Call 405-265-8955 or use the contact page. Tell us your budget, what you’ll use the rifle for and any parts you already like.
- Get your quote. Every build is quoted individually. We’ll recommend a configuration and give you the price before anything is ordered.
- We build it. Once you approve the quote, we source the parts and assemble your AR in-house.
- Pick it up in Yukon. Typical turnaround is 5–10 days. When your rifle is ready, we’ll schedule an appointment for the required paperwork and background check. Please pick up within 30 days, starting the day after our ready notice. After that, storage is $1 per day for rifles and AR pistols ($0.50 per day for SBRs and other NFA items), up to $90.
Choosing your setup
Caliber. Most of our builds are 5.56 NATO / .223 Rem, and for good reason. Ammo is affordable and easy to find, recoil is light, and it handles training, home defense, coyotes and varmints well. A rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO can also safely fire .223 Rem. Interested in something else? Ask us and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Barrel. A 16″ barrel is the most popular all-around length for a standard rifle, and it balances handling with velocity. 18–20″ barrels add velocity for longer shots. Want something shorter and handier? We also build AR pistols and short-barreled rifles (SBRs). SBRs are NFA-regulated, so ask us about the current NFA process when you request your quote. A threaded muzzle keeps your build ready for a suppressor.
Handguard. Free-float M-LOK handguards improve accuracy and give you room for lights, lasers and grips. We’ll match the length to your barrel and how you hold the rifle. A slim, light rail keeps a hunting carbine comfortable to carry all day.
Trigger, stock and controls. A quality trigger makes a big difference in practical accuracy. We’ll match the stock, grip and controls (including ambidextrous setups) to your build and your body.
Optics. Red dots are fast for close-range shooting. A 1-6x or 1-8x LPVO stretches you out to a few hundred yards. For night hog hunting, there’s thermal and night vision. We can include an optic in your build quote. Browse red dots and scopes for ideas.
Why build with a local, licensed builder?
- One accountable person. You talk directly with the builder, not a call center.
- Licensed manufacturer, FFL/SOT. Every rifle is built and transferred with the required paperwork.
- Experience. PM Customs is owned by a retired U.S. Army veteran with more than a decade of firearms experience.
- Local. We’re in Yukon, close to Mustang, El Reno, Piedmont and Oklahoma City. Questions after pickup? You know exactly who to call.
- Fast. A typical turnaround of 5–10 days.
Pricing
Custom builds are quote only, because the price depends entirely on the parts you choose. You’ll know the full price before we order anything. Have questions about payment? Just ask when you request your quote. We only use customer-supplied parts that are still sealed in their original packaging. If you’d rather start with a factory rifle, browse our AR rifles. See what a custom AR-15 costs.

Call 405-265-8955 or send your build ideas through our contact page. Include your budget, intended use, preferred barrel length and any must-have parts. Pickups are by appointment, generally Monday–Saturday, 8 AM–4 PM.
