Matt W Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I've got a STI 2011 5.0 Tactical and I'd like someone to lighten the slide. Probably Tri-topped, not sure i want to go with the through lightening cuts or not. Plus, an overall tune up. Who should I be looking into?

38SuperDub Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Shay does AMAZING work - but if you just want some basic slide work done with fast turn around - check out Gansguns.com - Gary (if he is taking work) is SUPER fast on turnaround (read a week or so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hello: I would go to a local match and see who most of the guys are using. Having a local smith to do your work is great. If you tell us where you are located maybe we can give you a name or three. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBunniFuFu Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 ^ What these guys said. Shay from Akai guns is local to me and does fantastic work. If you tell us where you are located we can point some one out that is more local to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt W Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Northwest Ohio. I'm not sure there is anyone real local. I really like Shay's work too, I wasn't sure if he did slide work/ tune ups on customers guns or not. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBunniFuFu Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Shay will pretty much work on anything as his schedule allows. His trigger jobs are great and the turn around shouldn't be to long. Slide work might take a little longer. I suggest giving them a call and see what they can do for you, they are pretty accessible by phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Matt Cheely is probably the closest to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yep Matt Cheely at ccgunworks.com is pretty close up in Michigan. The problem might be getting work like this done when full builds are in such high demand. Matt is about 6 months out on a full custom build so I'm not sure he would take on the work. Certainly worth emailing him about though. It doesn't get much better than Matt's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I had Matt do some work on a 6" .40 slide for a limited build and was extremely pleased with his work and customer service. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLoad Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 +1 for Matt's work and he is a great communicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcc96 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Matt did two 6" slides for me at the time good turn around,I did have him reblue the slides before returning them...If I had to do it again I would have kept the slides in the white and have somebody else do the refinish...
