Good 1911 smith near Bloomington?

Rob377 · 01-15-2009

I need to get a few things fitted for my 1911 and was wondering if there were any reputable 'smiths around Bloomington.
Any have any recommendations?

Chuck's gun repair, but I hear he's been REAL busy lately

ETA: What parts? Just curious

I actually gave Chuck a call and he said he's about a month out.

I did a transfer through him not too long ago. Very nice guy. I was kinda hoping to get it done a little sooner though.

I've got a new beavertail that need to be fitted, and I'd like to get a barrel bushing done. I tried fitting the beavertail myself today, but realized I'd bitten off more than I could chew.

Yeah, Chuck was going to be my recommendation as well.

There is a guy out near Crane named Jimmy Craig who is excellent. Not sure if he is still in business but could check it if you want me to. Just let me know.
