Haven't done any business with him in several years......got bit by the 1911 building bug.......and built several and did a conversion to 9mm......the bug is gone.......but, he did some work on all four of my projects.......He does an exceptional job on barrel fitting and ramp cutting.........
His rates are very reasonable and he has a great turnaround time as well, I was pleased with everything he did for me...... |

He may still do some for some old friends, but nothing you can send into him, except for maybe some batch checkering on a machine. |

Yeah, Jim left EGW but is still doing work. Here's his site.
On another note, check out Colt's custom shop. Their pricing isn't bad and then it remains "all Colt" and hear their wait times are around 6 months for the Tac Pack. |
