    Default Pittsburgh Area 1911 Smith?

    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.

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

    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.
