Pittsburgh Area 1911 Smith?

[vrocco]

I am looking for someone in the Pittsburgh area who works with 1911s. I just bought a Storm Lake threaded barrel for my suppressor. It is supposed to be drop-in, but it needs a barrel link installed. I don't have any experience with this kind of thing.

I did check the barrel in the weapon without a link and it goes fully into battery, so hopefully not a lot of fitting is required.

Thanks.

Seriously? No one in Pittsburgh can help me out?

Sorry, I don't own a 1911 so I don't know of any. Ask Lycan, he should know.

Thanks....I pmed him. Hopefully he can just give me some tips to do it myself.

You may want to check out this thread http://forum.pafoa.org/gunsmiths-19/...a-15237-a.html (High Tech Hand Guns, Pittsburgh, PA 15237), they do not have a gret reputation.

Go with GANS since he has a great reputation for high quality work on 1911's.

There are very few gunsmiths with in 100 miles of Pittsburgh that really have a reputation for quality work.

You just gotta know who to talk to(keith or walt on a saturday) and you'll be good to go. I'm not sure i'd send one of my higher end guns up there but for something as simple as a barrel link I'd be fine with.


Plus the guy in that thread got the gun he ordered, I saw it and the order form he just wasn't happy because he somehow thought he was getting a custom 1911 for $1200 which as we all know isn't gonna happen.
