Gunsmith to cut front dovetail in N to Mid Tenn

[Slpeod]

I've struck a dry hole by most accounts, few try here from smittys that say I'm not doing that kind of work anymore and others saying I'm only doing custom 1911s or 700s right now.

 

So does anyone know a local gunsmith that can/will cut a front dovetail on a pistol slide for me?  Would like to keep it local rather than send it off.

Jeff over at guns and leather is an all around smith. Also the guy at lock stock and barrel is an old school smith as well, could probably get one of them to take care of it for you.

I'd definitely check with Tim.  He was the first name that came to mind for what you're asking about.

So I've made contact with Tim and making the necessary arrangements. I tell you this site is great, can't say how much I appreciate TGOs help. Thanks all.
