Robert and Sandy Garrett are great gunsmiths and where we send our customers needing work beyond what we can do. There off of Fullerton a few doors down from Joe Ragans Coffee. |

I gave him a Post Ban Bushmaster 16 inch complete upper. Cost for tearing it down, threading, w/ my supplied FS w/ washer $90 and some change. Many people will probably feel they can get a better deal somewhere else but I trust his work and will continue to go to his shop for future work. The location and turn around time is excellent for me. I dont like shipping off my weapons to get work done. I highly recommend him and his son and they will not BS you.... They are professionals.

He removed it from the upper. He explained the whole process and the way he does it. He also explained how some gunsmiths dont take everything off the barrel and the results are not so good.

what kind of work do they do? Looking to get some Novaks installed and maybe a trigger/hammer and polish job.
Someone mentioned one of the smiths that works out of Gilberts was good. |

I will never use NVGW again after a very negative experience back in 1997 ( posted details on rec.guns newgroup at the time) . Maybe their work and customer service has improved since then but I doubt it.

Tim Bacus built my new STI framed Limited gun. This pistol has the VERY best trigger on any gun I've ever owned. It'll shoot 1.5" groups at 50yds and still be reliable enough to run 100% at a 200 round USPSA match. It has a Scheuman gain twist rifled AET barrel in .40

Nice Pistol! How do you get in touch with Tim? Just go into the store? What was the turn-around time on your pistol? Thanks! |

Larry Wright is also working out of Gilberts. He's done a bunch of work for me and I have been very happy with the quality. He was able to fix NVGW malfunctioning trigger job.

Well smart guy when you show me a better way to make 'Major' (which currently requires a .40 cal or larger making 165 power factor) please show me of a better performing cartridge than .40 caliber that performs better in USPSA competition AND that you can get more rounds than 21 in a 140mm mag please, PLEASE come talk to me. I'm sure the ALL of the USPSA Grand Masters want to tap into that intelligence. |

Same here. I had a bad experience with them back in '95. They were very rude and unproffesional. I told the owner that I would tell everyone I knew or met not to use them because of it. I have kept my word. |

Isn't Tim Baucus working at NRA, and used to smith out of WSI in Bellevue, WA?
If so he is a VERY good 1911 smith. I once sold a Colt that he had installed a Brown grip safety on - very tight blend - a 1911 smith looked at it and said "That's Tim's work, isn't it?" |
