Need a good gunsmith

Recommended Posts

bought a new M&P Pro 9mm for IPSC shooting... very disappointed... trigger and sights are terrible... go figure, but Smith calls it a pro series... when pulling the trigger, it makes screeching sounds and moves jerkingly...

 

shooting from the bench - aiming at a bullseye positioned at 15 yards, bullet hits the target 5-6" below and a a bit on a left side from the aim point...

 

anyhow... i would much appreciate if somebody could recommend a good gunsmith...

Just call S&W

 

They will send a call tag for it...... 2 weeks, you will have it back

 

Edit:

 

Although the M&P triggers are not perfect out of the box..... if yours is actually making noise, then something is very wrong. The PRO trigger should be near perfect out of the box, falling somewhere between the stock "sometimes" gritty trigger and the APEX internals......

 

As far as the sights...... fix the trigger 1st, sights are fixable, and most likely you will be changing them anyway to a personal preference.

Sort of off top , but relevant - If he sends his pistol off to smith for work, he needs to go through an ffl of course, but does he need a PPP for when he receives it back ?

 

Nope..... FedEx or UPS 2 day is all that is needed back and forth..... no FFL or PPP required....

Correct.

 

Starting 2013, USPSA Production first trigger pull is 3 lbs.

 

to the OP... have you detail stripped the gun, cleaned and lubed it before shooting it?

 

Something just seems off, and in most cases, I lean the way of the indian, not the arrow.

      I ended up with a Massachusetts compliant 10 lb trigger model. If you've replaced your trigger with an aftermarket I'll buy the original one.

      Hello everyone, brand new to the board so let me know if I'm in the right subforum or if I can have this better answered elsewhere. pagunforums.com anyone? lol
      Can anyone recommend an FFL in Pennsylvania that will pin weld breaks, pin stocks, and also accept transfers. I live in North Jersey so anything in North PA with low FFL and gunsmithing fees are preferable. I am running into problems with a shop refusing to send complete AR 15s to NJ FFLs. Any help is appreciated.

      I have machined a few of my handgun slides to accept a micro red dot. Currently there is a decent business available for machinists with the equipment to do the job properly. My question is. Can I accept slide only (no frame or receiver or other serialized parts) into my shop to CNC mill the slide for rmr? Or does this constitute being in the "gun business"?  I have sent an e-mail to the ATF with this very same question but, I dont know when I will hear back from them. As far as I can read from any of the ATF frequently asked Q&A I can do such business. I could also for example make parts such as charging handles, handguards etc.. However, I dont want to be on the wrong side of the laws. I will not take any answer as an offer of legal advice. Merely asking the question to know if I should proceed with paying someone for a official interpretation of the law.

      Hello everyone I was wondering if any Glock owners could give me advice for the following:
       
      Due to eye strain I want to get larger sights for my Glock handgun , can you recommend any that have worked well for you.
       
      Also I am in South jersey and would need someone to install the sights, is this something a typical gun shop can do or is there anyone specific you can recommend.
       
      Thank you for any advice.

    • The biggest problem with this announcement is that the FBI has proven itself to be completely untrustworthy, but it is the agency charged with keeping the public informed about such developments. So, this is something that Wray and the FBI want us to believe, because they are convinced that is in their best interests that we do so. But how much objective truth is there to it? Are Biden's enviro-Nazi puppeteers planning to sabotage the internet and what is left of our petrochemical production capability and somehow false flag attribute that attack to the Chinese? Unlikely, but it's terrible and damning that I even need to seriously consider that possibility. It's a dilemma. Reminds me of an old Star Trek TV episode where Kirk short-circuits some robotic adversary by telling it, "I always lie. Listen very carefully. I am lying to you..." Personally, I'll wait until I see some corroboration of this from something that I regard as a trusted source (and those are few and far between these days) before I buy it.
    • After Karina, there where laws passed to prevent the seizure and confiscation of legally owned firearms during an emergency.   Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act H. R. 5013 - Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006 (known as the Vitter Amendment) H. R. 5441  
    • And it's sad because there's a lot to like, especially South NJ, the North West, and the Beaches.  Like Washington State, the Illiberals have managed to take something good and totally destroy it.
