Good gunsmith in Colorado ?

[Hannu]

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

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

[elkchaser]

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.
