Albert Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Another question from a new wheel gun shooter. I'd like to get a fiber optic/replaceable sight mount form my S&W 19-4 as well as get a decent competition trigger job and possibly chamfering the holes for the cylinder. Who do you all like for this type of work? I checked with my local Smith who works on my autos and he mentioned someone in Arizona but could not remember his/their name. I'd also like to get the same work for my 686-7 in 38 super. Thanks for any replies. -Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Weigand sells a Replacable Base that has instructions any competent gunsmith, or machinist, can follow. Brownells sells them. Randy Lee is the Master Revolver Gunsmith on this forum, and the world most of us think. Drop him a line at http://www.apextactical.com/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Randy is the best. If you are speciifically looking for someone in Arizona try Nelson Ford The Gunsmith 6029920075. He's done a lot of work for me over the 30 years I've known him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Thanks for the tip, I'll try to contact Randy and see what his wait times are like. Actually, I'd prefer a smith in the Seattle/NorthWest area. My local smith for autos could not think of anyone locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelshooter3 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Albert - There is a gentleman in the Kent / Renton area named Angie "The Sight Man" who does very good work on sights. I don't know if he does trigger jobs & chamfering. I have a good friend who does that for me. I just compensate him for his time with bottles of refreshment that are slightly alcoholic . I don't have Angie's phone number but I'll try and get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lee Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Thanks for all the kind words guys! You're making me blush. Trust me, I'm no master- I can't even get out of "B" class in ICORE! I'm feverishly trying to get guns out the door before the IRC in a few weeks, so best estimate for turn around is 6-8 weeks. ~Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joer Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Albert, Don't waste your time - just go to Randy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelshooter3 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Angie's Phone # is 425-226-9520. I hear he's semi-retired now and likes fishing so trying to get hold of him close to a holiday weekend can be a challenge. He does excellent sight work at reasonable prices and may either be able to help you or recommend a local smith to take care of the chamfering/action work. Good luck.
