Default Gunsmith for nightsight install in PGH

I'm looking to have nightsights installed on 2 of my pistols; any recommendations in the PGH area, or anyone to stay away from? Anyone ever deal with High Tech Handguns on Perry Highway?

My last experience with Anthony Arms gunsmith was less than satisfactory. I'd been looking to have a shotgun barrel reblued, and he told me the turnaround time would be 6-8 months. My wife then asked him how long would the wait be if he actually wanted my money (gotta love her!)

The shotgun barrel incident was about a year ago. My point is, I'm not impressed by his customer service, or lack thereof. Maybe I need to give him another chance, but I wanted to see who other people would recommend.

By the way, please refrain from posting in all caps. That's the internet equivalent of shouting.

Default Re: Gunsmith for nightsight install in PGH

the guy at anthony's is an asshat. i have gone in there several times ovr the last few years with projects, and every time he had a reason why it couldn't be done. he insists that convrting a saiga shotgun is illegal.

that guy is nothing more than a screw turner.

glad to hear that tony is ok and coming back tom.
