checkering my 1911

Praetorian · January 28, 2001, 02:10 AM

I'm looking for a smith who will do some checkering on my 1911 pistol. I can't afford the prices at Wilsons or the other big names and I don't have any smiths locally.

It's a SS Springfield 1911A1. I'd like the trigger guard squared and checkered on the front and also I want the frontstrap checkered. I think 20x30 lpi is what I'm looking for.

If anyone is interested drop me an email. Also, I'd appreciate references since I'm new to the board and don't know anyone here yet and this pistol is my pride & joy. I'm on a very tight budget for this project and would like to do some "horse tradin" if possible to reduce cash outlay.

TIA

Greg
