Can't say about in KY but I will throw out a positive comment for ADCO.
I had them thread a Contender barrel and they did a great job. |

Milled both slides for Novak sights, new hammer and sear in one of them and a threaded barrel in the other. If I remember the turn around time on those was a month-ish. All of the shotgun work he has done for me has been 1-2 weeks. He also milled my Hi Power for Novak sights too. |

I believe the Christian that is mentioned above is the same one with Snipe. They are in horse country in north Fayette county.

Turn around time (from the time I dropped it off at the PO until I got it delivered back at my front door) has always been under a week, prices are reasonable and the work is second to none. The last thing is the big one for me. Too many people walking around calling themselves gunsmiths who don't have a clue. They take forever, fuck up your shit and then don't make it right. When you send it to ADCO, you know it will be done right, the first time and if by chance something does go south, they will make it right. Unfortunately, that is not the norm these days.
