Krieghoff Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I know there are plenty of guys out there that will build up a new gun, Benny, Millenium, Bedell, Brazos, Dawson, etc.,but where is the best place to send an existing gun to be tuned up? I bought a used Edge that runs good, but I want to send it for trigger work and just to make sure it is running as good as it can. To my knowledge, nothing has been done to the gun. I am in Beaumont, Tx. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasmap Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 You can ask this to a hundred shooters and get a hundred different answers. If you can, just try to make sure they are reputable. There are plenty of good/great 'smiths out there that can do what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 All those smiths you named, probably can do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb45acp Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I think Benny Hill/Triangle Shooting Sports is close to you and has a great reputation for doing high quality work. That said, I'd go with Brazos. Bob is a miracle worker and just a nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDRODA396 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Gary Natale of Gans Guns ( http://www.gansguns.com/ ) does awesome work, in MY opinion on par with any of the big name guys. His turn around time is phenominal. If you do a search for his name on this forum, you'll find nothing but the highest praise, just hasnt built up the rep of the big guys...yet!

38superman Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Perhaps I am wrong but I was under the impression that guys like Bob Londrigan don't do general gunsmithing. He will work on guns he built if they break, but he is too busy building guns to deal with anything else. I highly recommend Rusty Kidd at David's gun room in Norcross, Ga. He is the a top notch smith and has done all sorts of work on every gun I own. Tls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
