Hey guys, I have an old oly arms 1911 that the lug deal on the bottom of the barrel broke off. I was wondering if anyone knew of anyone up north (North Seattle - Everett) that might be able to help. Thanks for any advice.

I drove to Blackhammer Arms in Tacoma. Probably not what you want to hear, but I didn’t find anyone up here to work on my 1911.

if it makes it any better, my springfield 1911 is probably the best 45acp i have in my collection now, after Dana put his magic touch on it lol. he did quite a lot though.

Wow he has a nice website. And yes Redmond is much easier, any time I can avoid going South thru Seattle is a good thing.

Are there really that few smiths around anymore?

You can call JPL Precision and ask him for Carlos Bregante's number. He is in Edmonds and does great 1911 work. (I don't have his number handy.)

I wouldn't even mess around calling elsewhere. Take/ship/get it to Dreadi. Done deal. Good price. Perfect job. 'Nuff said.

Full disclosure, I might be biased, but only toward good service.
