Machine work on a 1911 slide

[akira88]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a machinist that can do some work on a 1911. I wanted to get add some front slide serrations, recessed windows, and maybe tri-top it.

I haven't found anyone who does this sort of work regularly. Others can do it, but it's not in their wheelhouse.

Check with Casey at Tac Ord. He's a sponsor here.

Thanks. I tried to call Casey a couple times today ... just got his voicemail. I'll keep trying.

I've been talking to Devon at Black Box as well... he can do milling on Glocks with ease because he has the cad files all ready to go. But 1911/2011's are different from manufacturer to manufacturer...so the cost to do something with them might be possible, but would be 5 times the normal cost because it's completely custom. Might try to achieve the "look" I am going for with laser engraving.
