Gunsmithing questions
Do you work on guns you did not sell?
Yes. Any 2011, 1911 or striker-fired competition pistol in good condition. Bring the gun, the parts and the ammo you shoot.
Can you fit parts I bought elsewhere?
Usually. Fitting parts bought elsewhere is quoted the same way; parts from the shop's own catalog come with fitting advice included.
How long does it take?
Optic mounting and service work are often same week. Barrel, compensator and slide fitting depend on the parts and are quoted with a date.
