Fair Use & Membership Intent

  • Membership is designed for routine maintenance and standard repairs.

  • BCAC may recommend moving a firearm into a quoted project when:

    • The scope expands beyond standard labor

    • The firearm’s condition requires extensive teardown or remediation

    • The work becomes restoration/custom-level complexity

How Credits Work

  • Credits cover labor only (parts, shipping, and outside services are separate).

  • 1 credit covers up to $200 of standard labor on an included job.

  • If labor exceeds $200, you can either:

    • Use an additional credit, or

    • Pay the overage at the member shop rate ($65/hr).

  • Credits are annual and apply to work performed during your membership term.

  • Priority scheduling ladder: Tier 3 first, then Tier 2, then Tier 1, then non-members. Once an appointment is booked and confirmed, it is reserved for that client.

Excluded Work

These items are excluded because they are time-intensive, highly variable, require specialized processes, or carry higher risk/complexity that exceed to $200 credit cost.
