G00d 1911 Gunsmith in Canada

[.45colt]

I have a 1911 that is having some issues and I have done all I am willing to do myself.

Anyone recommend a good gunsmith in Canada for 1911 tuning/troubleshooting?

Roger Kotanko was the guy for 1911's

Sadly a bunch of heartless #######s shot him dead a couple months ago.

Agree completely on both points. Roger was THE guy.

No personal experience myself but Dlask Arms in BC is worth a look.

Matt Porth at Forge and Facet does some 1911 work.

You are welcome. There is or was a fellow by the name of Clarence that started up a business named "Bumble Bee" something or other in Prince George. He took over the gunsmithing part of Armco from Gunnar. I have no idea if he is active or not.

Nick from Vulcan gun refinishing has built and repaired tons of 1911s over the years, I would say give him a call and see how it goes.
