[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Can you guys recommend a good fal gunsmith?

Someone besides azex.

I need a refinish and a few new parts put in and don't want to pay $400 just for that.

Recomendations?

Thanks.

Strange, he doesn't charge $400 for just parkerizing. Define "a few new parts put in?"

Where abouts are you in Tennesee?

That's sounds close (a little high) to his price for a tear down, clean, re-park, and parkote (Think Gunkote), rebuild, and detail.

You get a Fal that looks brand new when he's done.

That is not exactly "a refinish and a few new parts." That is the whole works transformation from a bucket of parts that look like a train wreck to a brand new looking gun.

Seriously, call Derek and explain what you need, I'm sure he can accommodate you.

I've had excellent results on parkerizing from Mark at Coyote Gulch Armory in Sunnyside WA. He does a very beautiful dark park.

FWIW

Cheers,

Thanks.

any chance of doing it on your own? seems like a great project waiting to happen.

I'm pondering "polishing the turd" myself, I have a CAI R1A1 that I may send out to have the barrel chopped down to 18" and refinished...but it works great the way it is now.
