Gunsmithing · 1911 and 2011

1911 and 2011 work, written down.

Every pistol is inspected and quoted before work begins. It goes home with a report of what we found, what we did and what we measured. Final price after we see the pistol. Labor is labor; parts are extra unless the package includes them. 90-day bench warranty on our work.

How the work goes

01

Inspect

We check the pistol against the bench inspection sheet and write up what we find.

02

Quote

You get the findings and a quote. No part is changed and no billable work starts until you approve.

03

Work and measure

The work is done, every safety check is repeated, and the numbers are recorded.

04

Report and return

The pistol goes back the way it came, with its service report.

How a pistol gets here and back

A pistol goes back the way it came. Email first with the make, model and the work you want; we tell you which way fits.

Your dealer ships it

Your FFL sends it to ours. When the work is done it goes back to that dealer, and you pick it up there.

Email to start

You ship it

You send it to us yourself. It goes back to you at the address it came from. Put a note in the box: your name, email, phone and the work requested.

Email to start

Bring it in

By appointment, in Madison. It is handed back to the person who brought it. The address comes with the appointment.

Email for an appointment

Quote first. No part is changed and no billable work starts until the findings and a quote have gone to you and you have approved them.

Also on file

Return shipping is billed at cost unless we agree otherwise. Unclaimed pistols: $50 a month storage after 30 days.

Payment by card through a secure Authorize.net invoice sent to your email, or cash in person. No card fees.
