Need a good gunsmith in the BR area.

I wouldn't go to Jim's. They weren't very knowledgable on how to fix my browning gold. I would have broke it in half if I listened to them.

The gun "smiths" at jims arent smiths. Mechanics maybe...

But next time you talk to them, as how many of their "smiths" have shot either themselves, the ground, or the ceilings back there.

The young kid who ran the concealed carry class I reported for pointed non deactivated firearms at all of us throughout the "class" and passing out ammunitiom with said firearms for people to look at.

There was an old guy who was always in hebert guns who was good.

Obviously red jacket was...although they are a bit busy with the business the show brings these days...

That 'scope rail' looks like it is anchored to a tac rail. As already mentioned, I wouldn't drill holes in it.

check with eduardo chahin. he has always done a good job for me on shotguns and rifles. also really interesting to talk to

Go to Vince Buckles at Kyber Pass in Gonzales or Barking Irons on Airline. That's where I take my guns, they do a good job on mine

Barking Irons, ask for Chad

I had a real shitty experience with these guys with my 1911. They didn't fit the magazine release. My mags would stop halfway in my gun. When I asked them about they said to just jam the mag in real hard to knock off the metal. Needless to say I wasn't going to jam my $30 Wilson mags into my gun. I brought it to Rynersons and had them fit it properly.

That's why GS now refer to as a "hard" fit. It's the term 1911 smiths have been using to justify unfinished guns. Pretty sure it was coined by Les Baer.
