Good Gunsmiths for older Colt timing and Lock-Up troubles

[Oyeboten]

We really ought to have a 'sticky' here for referring Gunsmiths whom we have had do Work on Colts and who's Work we can report on.

For now, I am looking for additional recommendations for a Gunsmith I can send off a New Service to, to have some Timing and Lock-Up troubles corrected.

Who can you all recommend?


Thanks!

Wow, Jack First sure seems like an interesting fellow and would be great fun to visit.


If he was still in Lancaster, that would be an easy drive for me ( being I am in Las Vegas ).


I'll give him a call also.

Not that we know of.
Real Colt qualified pistolsmiths are very few and far between.
