What you recommend for sending a basic GI 1911 for work? Any testimonials/horror stories from either of them? Not in a hurry at all, but I have a series 70 that I got with the intention of having built to my liking. What I am looking for is a replacement of MIM, Barstow Barrel fit and installed, Bushing fit and installed, Novak style sights, and the ejection port lowered.
And for the frame I am looking to have a commander hammer, ed brown grip safety, MS housing with a lanyard loop, and long trigger at 4-4.5#. I also want the whole pistol to be finished in something durable. I think the bluing is beautiful, but this will be a shooter. I know it will not be cheap, but I am hoping to find a place that will give me good work for the money and that I can have confidence in. If anyone has experience with the three listed, please make recommendations. |

I have had work done at SACS and Alchemy. Heads or tails, although Rob is real busy right now. SACs was 9 weeks on my ROC I just got back. Basic stuff, reliability package, sights, checkering and refinish.
E-mail Rob, tell him what you want and he will get right back to with an estimate. Same with SACS. |

I only have experience with SACS and will recommend it to anyone. What you want to do was almost the same works SACS did for my old SA standard model.
- fit Springfield match barrel & bushing - install Novak rear sight & SA front sight - add Front cocking serration - install King's ambi thumb safety - install SA tool steel hammer/sear - fit SA beavertail grip safety - install SA checkered MSH with lanyard loop - fit SA speed trigger 4.5 lbs pull - flare ejector port - Parkerized finish

That is pretty much exactly what I am looking for. I think SACS will be the route I end up going. |
