    I don’t think Burton is taking new work right now. But he’s in here some. His place to say.

    I've been admiring his work for years.

    Plus, and a huge one, he's a valued member here.
    I dream of a Burton gun gut thats champagne tastes and I have a beer budget.

    Virgil Tripp especially 9mm guns. He'll get them squared away like nobody's business.

    AJ is still working on guns to the best of my knowledge; a couple months ago he did some work on my friend's Professional.

    Bob Cogan at Accurate Plating & Weaponry is very good with 1911's, Browning HiPowers, and has done some great revolver work for me. He did 4 projects for me this year and the turn around was less than 6 weeks in each case, which I think is pretty fast these days.

    He has been working on my USPSA raceguns since the mid-90's when his shop was in Tampa. I have never been disappointed.

    While he does good gunsmithing work, if you want something refinished in hard chrome he is the go to guy for sure.

    Dave Sams does a lot of 9mm 1911 work. More than .45s the last time we spoke.
    This is the machine rested 10 shot 50 yard group he test shot with my Springer.

    I've had good results with Don Williams at The Action Works.

    Pardon the thread drift, but does anybody know if John Jardine is taking work? He co-hosts classes in the Bay Area regularly, but I keep forgetting to ask him if he's taking work. His personal gun always runs like a sewing machine. I'm not sure I can afford him, but I hear good things about his pistols.

    If you don't know him, don't train with him or don't carry a 1911 for work he ain't interested.
