Gunsmith Recommendation


Recommended Posts

Posted

Can anyone recommend a good 1911 gunsmith in the Paris, TN. vicinity?

 

Was having a problem with magazines not wanting to insert, so guess what...

 

Got a bag-o-gun now! Watched a lot of You Tube videos and say to myself, I can do that, yea right. With over ten hours trying to get the sear spring back in and operational, no luck. I'm doing it exactly like the videos show, evidently I'm not.

 

Anyway, this morning when it got light, I did find the frame of the Kimber a dozen yards or so in the weeds outside the garage window. The window repairman will be here tomorrow to replace the window the gun dropped through.

I am by no means a great smith but have had all the pices out of my 1911 many times fitting new parts in and may be able to help you put it back together.

Thank you, I appreciate the offer!

 

I'm waiting for a new sear spring from Wolff and a new metal main spring housing from Wilson Combat to arrive. Found a place near by I hear might do 1911's and I'm stopping by this afternoon to talk to them.

Well at least it wasn't bad as it could have been otherwise you wouldn't have gone looking for the frame....:)
