Austin's is Awesome!!!

[Guest tnpanscraper]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but....

Just had my RIA M1911A1 .45 Cer coated(ceramic coated). I had a big scratch in the parkerizing and was gonna duracoat it myself. I thought better of it after imagining how much abuse it takes in and out of the holster. Dropped it off at Austin's and lo and behold, a new gun emerged.... I/m SUPER IMPRESSED!!!! I can't stress enough how happy I am about the results. Didn't cost me an arm and a leg either....

I'll be a loyal customer from this day forth...

I agree with your assesment. Good looking finish.

What's it cost? What colors can I get and where are they located? BTW Great looking Rod!

I took him a bare frame and slide so they didn't have to do any dis-assembly and re-assembly. They have several colors. You would have to look at their chart. They are located in OakRidge....

I've seen some of their other work also... They did a shotgun barrel in black and a two tone 38 revolver that looked awesome....

Good guys in there too...

Don (gun smith) does good work for a yankee. Mike AKA Phantom6 (owner with son austin) is a good feller to.
