Frequently
Asked Questions
Ordering, preparing your slide, customer-supplied optics, finishes, and service support.
Customer-supplied optics
SKP Machine does not provide optics. Customers supply their own optic. You may optionally send your optic with your slide; package it separately and securely. The slide must be disassembled before shipment. Sending an optic does not automatically include mounting, sight installation, or reassembly—confirm any additional work with SKP first.
CNC machining & existing finish
Our slide cuts are CNC machined. Fixturing, handling, chips, and coolant may leave scratches, marks, or other cosmetic changes on the existing finish. SKP Machine is not responsible for incidental cosmetic scratches or marks to the existing finish caused by the machining process. Contact us before ordering if preserving the current finish is critical.
Ordering & service scope
How do I place a milling order?
Choose a listed slide and optic configuration on the service page, review the details, and complete checkout. Keep your order confirmation and review our Shipping Info before sending parts.
Which slides are currently supported?
The current service lists CZ P-10 and full-size Glock factory slides with the optic selections shown on the product page. Use the live selections to confirm your configuration.
Does my order include an optic?
SKP Machine does not provide optics. Customers supply their own optic. You may optionally send your optic with your slide; package it separately and securely. The slide must be disassembled before shipment. Sending an optic does not automatically include mounting, sight installation, or reassembly—confirm any additional work with SKP first.
Can I request an unlisted configuration?
Contact SKP with the exact slide and optic model before ordering. An inquiry does not confirm that a custom configuration can be accepted.
What about a previously modified slide?
Send photos and a description of the existing work before placing an order. We must review the slide before confirming whether the requested service is suitable.
What is the current turnaround?
Ask SKP for the current estimate before ordering. Timing depends on workload, service scope, and the condition of the parts received.
Preparing & sending your parts
How should the slide arrive?
The slide must be disassembled and ready for machining before shipment. Do not send a frame, complete firearm, or ammunition. Contact SKP or a qualified gunsmith if you are unsure how to prepare it.
May I include my own optic?
Yes, including your customer-supplied optic is optional. Protect it separately from the disassembled slide and list it with your order paperwork. Confirm any installation request in advance.
Should I clean the parts first?
Send parts reasonably clean and free of excess oil, dirt, tape, and adhesive. Contact SKP before shipping if a coating or attached material needs special handling.
What information belongs in the box?
Include your order number or printed confirmation, contact information, and a list of every item enclosed—including any optic. Clearly identify the service you ordered.
How do I pack and insure the shipment?
Follow our Shipping Info page for packaging, delivery costs, and insurance responsibilities. Choose protective packaging appropriate to all items you send.
Where can I send or drop off my parts?
Ship to South Kentucky Precision Machine, 610 West Columbia Avenue, Monticello, KY 42633. Arrange local drop-off or pickup by phone or email first.
Finish, fitment & included work
Could the existing finish get scratched?
Our slide cuts are CNC machined. Fixturing, handling, chips, and coolant may leave scratches, marks, or other cosmetic changes on the existing finish. SKP Machine is not responsible for incidental cosmetic scratches or marks to the existing finish caused by the machining process. Contact us before ordering if preserving the current finish is critical.
What finish comes with the current service?
The currently listed optic milling service includes cold blue on the machined area. It does not include a full-slide refinish unless separately confirmed by SKP.
Are other coatings or colors available?
Ask SKP before ordering any coating, color, or refinishing work that is not explicitly offered in the live product options. Do not assume Cerakote or nitride is included.
How should I care for the finish?
Follow the applicable finish manufacturer’s care guidance. Contact SKP about coating or corrosion concerns, especially if the slide already has an aftermarket finish.
What about sights and slide internals?
Confirm any work involving sights, channel liners, internal components, or reassembly before ordering. The customer must send a disassembled slide; additional services are not automatically included.
Are mounting screws or installation included?
Only items and services expressly listed on your order are included. Confirm hardware, optic mounting, and sight installation with SKP before sending additional parts.
Does a shared footprint guarantee a fit?
No. Confirm the exact optic model and supported slide configuration before ordering. If the returned parts do not fit as expected, contact SKP before using them.
Where can I get hardware or installation help?
Contact SKP with your order number and exact optic model. Have installation questions, damaged hardware, or a fitment concern reviewed by a qualified professional rather than forcing parts together.
Order changes & support
Can I change or cancel an order?
Contact SKP promptly with the order number and requested change. Wait for confirmation before mailing a changed order. Available changes and any refund depend on the work status and agreed order terms.
What if something is wrong when it returns?
Email Nathan@skpmachine.com with your order number, a clear description, and photos if useful. Contact us before returning any parts so we can agree on the next steps.
Should I ask about shipping restrictions?
Contact SKP before ordering if you have questions about sending parts from your location. Review the chosen carrier’s requirements and applicable rules before shipping.
Can I request a custom CNC part?
Yes. Send your drawing or model, material, quantity, critical requirements, and desired delivery date. Visit CNC Machining for our capabilities and past work.
