Need a 1911 tuneup
Anyone able to point me toward a gunsmith here in PA that specializes in 1911work? I am looking to have someone do a "reliability" job on a SA MilSpec. I would like to keep my business here as opposed to shipping out to Briley or Robar.
Thanks, Jack

Or Gans Guns (Gary Natale). Both do great work.

Doylestown at one time back in the mid '90's, or has it always been in Quakertown? I seem to recall a machine shop near the airport off RT 611 but the name has slipped me. As I recall they did a fair amount of pistol work. BTW I appreciate both suggestions, I guess I will have to flip a coin. It seems being in the central part of the State would have me traveling equal distance to EGW to the east or Gans to the west. Jack

How fast do you want the work done? Gans is quick, EGW is not.
