I would need a good gunsmith to install slide racker to STI Matchmaster. I am a difficult customer, as I want it to be installed just a certain way :) http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/9026/img3958small.jpg (http://img130.imageshack.us/i/img3958small.jpg/)

Can you recommend a good smith ? Price is not the first priority, do not want to save $25 and then ruin $3k gun...
Location nearby Longmont - Boulder axle would be a good bonus.

StagLefty - a member here is also a gun smith who does high quality work. I've had him do a few repairs, but I've also seen up close several of his custom works. Highly recommend Rob.

Staglefty is not a smith.

I believe you are thinking of Rob B. in Aurora? Rob's contact e-mail is conceptguns (at) yahoo.com

Ralph Stoevener, owner of High Country Gunsmithing. He's located on the west I-25 frontage Road north of Hwy 52. Frederick mailing address I believe but used to be Longmont until just recently.

He can be a real pain in the a** to catch up with, but does exceptional work from what I've seen. The shop number is 303-774-1746, but I usually try and stop in around mid-morning.

only if you don't have a need for you gun till say sometime in 2010-11
his basic shit takes forever, and he is more atuned to the high end jobs.
a quote, time wise from him beginning of this year was, drop it off in sept.
very nice work he does, like autobody and other smiths his weeks are kind of loooooong

LOL. Wish I could argue but I really can not. I recommended Ralph for his workmanship, not his work habits. He can be frustrating but he does do very good work.

I feel your pain; actually I've felt your pain.

Some gunsmiths use a different calendar than the rest of mankind. I always take the estimated timetable and double it.
