Posted this request in "Pistol Shooting" as well...

My '78 vintage Gold Gup is showing its age as badly as its owner...need to drag it into this century (new barrel, bushing, grip safety, sights, etc.).

With the metal work all done, I'll get Turnbull to color-case the frame, then slap some handsome grips on it and turn it into an understated BBQ gun...

Thanks in advance,

Mark

In Houston, Dustin Mounts on Post Oak near Galleria. Also Tip Burns, Canyon Sporting Arms, Canyon Lake Texas.

I have had work from both these gentlemen. Excellent results.

Thanks Rusty!

Actually, I've got rifle three projects in Tips' hands right now...didn't know he was a pistolsmith as well!

Might just give Dustin a look-see...thanks!

Todd Johnson in Pearland (Lone Star Armory) turns out some really amazing 1911 work. He's kinda freakish about that model! He has a website, check him out if you like.
