Gunsmithing Wanted 1911 Gunsmith within 3 hrs drive from FT Worth TX

[NavyshooterM40]

Years ago I bought a Les Bear pre-fit frame and slide. Also purchased Kart Barrel, Ed Brown and Wilson components to finish the build. At the time a friend of mine had a machine shop and I had just attended John Nowlen’s 1911 class. I got transferred and never got to build the pistol. Would like to get the frame plated and the slide blued, like the two tone look. I am looking for a good pistolsmith to complete the build. I also have a S&W N-frame that needs a trigger job.
Thanks

Clark Custom is about 3.5 hours away, depending where in Fort Worth.
You might bump into Jerry Miculek there.

Might want to talk with Dave Gregor with US Trinity Custom in Northlake. He’s not far from FW.

IIRC Alex Hamilton with 10x precision was nearby..but that was awhile ago.

Ed Vandenberg is outside Houston...did a lot of work for me when I lived near there. Dont think he does revolver work though. He should be able to help with the 1911

Gene Williams in Princeton, Texas. A well known 1911 guy.
