1911 smith

Discuss work on firearms; whether that is making yours from the ground up, milling an 80%, putting together a kit, or fine tuning a trigger job.

Cant remember his name, user name on the old AZS was Alias, Roger something.
Think he was up near Prescott, not in the east valley but his work was gorgeous.
Maybe someone else can chime in or I'll update later if I remember the name of his shop or the website.

yup, that was it. As much as it sucks he is that backed up it's good to hear his amazing work is being appreciated.

I have used Nelson Ford (mentioned above) for several trigger jobs over the years. I definitely recommend him and will use him again if I ever buy another 1911.
