BelRiose Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I’m newly moved to Southern AZ for work, and looking for a gunsmith to do some tune-up work on my 2011s. One is a custom 6” gun from a guy in Oregon that (I think) no longer makes guns, and the other is a DVC Limited. They’ve both been having some reliability problems that are beyond my limited ability to fix, so I’d appreciate any recommendations that you folks have.

ChuckS Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Get a hold of Intel6 here on the forum. He is in Sierra Vista and knows everything! https://forums.brianenos.com/profile/922-intel6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelRiose Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Chuck, thanks for the tip. @Intel6 Sir, it looks like you and I are in the same line of work. Any recommendations for 2011 gunsmiths in the SV area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Unfortunatley, there is not any one in SV that I could recommend, specifically for 2011's. SV is a small town and the gunsmiths that are here are more oriented towards general repair and rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelRiose Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Anyone within a reasonable radius that will work on guns they didn’t build? Tucson or Phoenix would be doable. Otherwise I guess I can start exploring places to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45 Raven Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 You might try KS Custom Guns (Kent Singletary) in Glendale, AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I think it's accuracy speaks, Mesa AZ Bob LaMarca tell him Neil Cassata told you about him. Anything he does will be done right. If he can't or doesn't want to mess with it. HE'll be straightforward and tell you up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelRiose Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thanks for the recommendations! I knew there had to be some good ones around given all the shooters in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 For SVI guns I would recommend Don Golembieski at Kodiak Precision. He is local in Mesa. Fortunately or unfortunately his a a close friend and his work is outstanding. He was only one of a very few who could get SV frames etc. His work is outstanding. Several of his guns have appeared on magazine covers. My limited gun has over 60,000 rounds and is still gnats ass accurate, his trigger jobs are amazing. Eddie Garcia and Eddie Camneron (speliing) are very very good. Both local to the Phoenix area. I know people who shoot their guns and are very very happy. Frank Glenn (see TGO on comments about Frank), I am not sure if his is still building guns. Bob L. is a great guy. I know him and shot matches with him. I realize I am a snob. I am local to AZ now but have shot in CA, OR, WA, LA, TX. I have met some outstanding GMs and their gunsmiths. I am sure there are other very well qualified gunsmiths in AZ and nearby but my go to guy is Don. If I could not wait, The Eddies are a great second choice. For a quick issue Bob's work and turn around is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelRiose Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'll actually be shooting in Mesa this weekend, so hopefully I can stop by Bob's at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
