Maybe so....but even the most minor adjustments today become a huge undertaking, just because of lack of experience and know how....try and find someone locally who can "Really" work on and set up a 1911like a Jason Burton.....none that I know of and I probably know of most around......your right, it's a dying art that is almost dead. -

But I haven't heard of or been to one shop who has a Smith with the talent and ability of the one's mentioned here years past.....lucky today if they can fit a sight correctly never mind machine in a Bowmar......any "Joe" can get a FFL, put in a couple of counters and open a shop.....not the same....OMO. .....and in the Hamden / New Haven, Ct. area there was Piscatelli's Gun Shop and Cook, Newton & Smith across from High Standard Firearms Co. on Dixwell, Ave. .....had work done there also. -

Hmmm.....Maybe, he was across from Behlert on Lehigh Ave. in a split level house....when you walked in he had a Bazooka on the wall.....? Then there was Joey K's in Perth Amboy....did a job for me as well. -

The action on my 19 is unreal.......met Cirillo with another fella myself at Ray's one evening...didn't know him at the time but listened to him tell a story about a big fella who took a 12ga. slug CM in a supermarket robbery and ran out of the place with Jim on his tail....guy dropped on the sidewalk. Wished then I knew who he was as I do today... -

Yup......Austin was great., Lehigh Ave. in Union...he did an Armaloy finish and trigger job for me on a Custom Model 19 ....don't breath on the trigger in the cocked position...talk about a pistol smith. There was also a fella working out of his home just across the street from Austin, his name escapes me but he had major metal working lathes and machinery in his basement....he did some rifle work for me back then also. -

I was the RSO sometimes in the evening as I worked in the store part time....they cleaned the lead out every other day, swept up the brass every morning .....not many problems back in the mid 70's. -
