1911A1 Gunsmith in Nashville??

[E4 No More]

I acquired a 1911A1 recently, and I bought an Ed Brown "Drop-in" barrel, beavertail grip safety, and bobtail mainspring housing to put in it. I also got the jigs for both the grip safety and the mainspring housing. I need a gunsmith to fit and install the above as well as cut a dovetail for a new front sight. I prefer not to drive clear to Greenbrier or Winchester if I don't have to, so anyone know of a capable gunsmith hopefully around Lavergne?

Call Chad Kkandros 506-1484. He's in Gallatin. BTW I've never found a "drop in" part for a 1911.

Thanks! Apparently, I haven't either!

I'd give Tim Calhoun a call. He's in Kingston Springs, and he built the pistol in my avatar picture.

+100 to THIS! He does great work. I am fixin' to give him a couple of long term projects. Of course, he is the only gunsmith I know, so there is that.

Jeff is a 1911 artist. He is the guy.

Jeff did the first work I ever had done on a pistol. It wasn't much, but he did great, timely work back then. He shanged out a trigger, hammer, and tightened up an Officers Model for me. But he's gotten so well known now, I don't know how quick it would be to get something done.

I talk to jeff often his back up time is 6 weeks right now but as always he is looking for more things to get his hands on....

I would give Jeff Miester @ Hero Gear a shout - he has worked on my 1911's, and builds the Killer Hero Gear 1911- they are just down the road in Winchester!

+1 for Chad with 1911's!

+1 for Jeff but his lead times are too far out.
