I live in west central Illinois, and I have a standard ATI .45 1911. I want to upgrade some guts; skeletonized trigger, recoil springs, better grip safety, decent sight. How many of these parts can be ordered from one company?
What brand will work best?
Anyone know of any gunsmiths in Illinois? How do I ship a firearm to a gunsmith legally?
Can I ship out of state?
Rough estimate of cost? Sorry I have so many questions. Thanks though in advance
