Gunsmith Workshop???

[wchandler]

Anyone know of a gunsmith workshop where I could bring my 1911 and get hands-on help. I can strip and re-assemble with no problem. It's when I buy new parts that need fitting. I have to send it out and I hate doing that. What good is a hobby that somelese does!!! I have shop manuals, but way too confusing for me.

My next project would be to rebuild my Colt Officers acp. It's black matte with all stock parts. I want the usual beavertail grip, skeleton hammer and trigger and extended safety all in Stainless. Then I would like to send it out for a nitron type finish (similar to my Sig 229).

Execpt for the finish, I want to do all the work myself. Help me!!

When we get the details worked out. You'll have to be part of our 1911 build party.

Sounds good. Just give me the time, location, etc...


Thanks

Sometimes one-on-one time with a good gunsmith is the best teaching tool. I had a long-time gun manufacturer employee (S&W and Colt) show me how to take a S&W revolver apart, clean the insides, then put it back together. His little tips and hands-on method taught me a lot.

That's exactly what I want. Actually, does anyone know a gunsmith that will do the work with me there.

Although, I would love to join the workshop forming...

I was reading the thread about the 80% 1911's. That would be awesome!
