So I built my own limited gun over the last few weekends and now that everything seems to work, I'd like to finish it off. Any recommendations on a machinist who can cut the sight dovetails as well as checker and lighten my slide based on just a couple of pictures/suggestions? Also, being able to install and supply the sights would be a plus, along with applying a decent finish (in the white). Just the machine work would be just fine if the price was right. Thanks,

Dave

be very careful ;)
no sharp cut on the slide all the cut will be rounded.

Try Jim Milks, Innovative Custom. Formally worked at EGW. 814-766-3004. He can do anything.

Virgil Tripp built my limited gun and I'll put his workmanship up against any I've ever seen. My gun is still beautiful and absolutely drum tight after a year and 15k rounds. I know they can handle the work.

I also had Matt Cheely do some bluing work on my open gun slide and his work and turnaround were outstanding. He also built a Single Stack in .40 for a buddy of mine that is TOP NOTCH. He'd be on MY short list as well.
