Competent Gunsmith In Murfreesboro

[E4 No More]

Anybody know of a competent gunsmith in the Murfreesboro area who can mill a couple of slides for RMR's? I have two Sig P320's that could use some better sights for old eyes.

For template-style cuts like a handgun RDS, a major CNC house with a program and setup is a far better option than a local gunsmith. They mount them in their fixture, press the button, and a few automatic operations later, you have the optic cut of your choice, perfect every time. Meanwhile, a master with a mill and precision measurements will take 25x more labor, and will not be as perfect as the CNC cut unless they also have a manual jig and fixture set up - which they don't, because it's a service best done in CNC.

We have a manual shop and this is good advice. 

Although I am sure we "could" do it, this is something that a CNC already set up for will save you $ for sure.

Exactly - I'm a full service retail gunsmith and SOT manufacturer with DRO mill and lathe... while we *could* do it... it's like hiring a full custom performance auto shop to make you new billet valve covers from scratch. When the top brands are mass-produced for $250, no need to pay $2500 for the same (or lesser) result.
