Upgrading my GI grip safety on my 1911 and I'm needing a Ed Brown beavertail grip safety jig as well I'll be re-staking my plunger tube, so will also be needing a plunger tube stake tool. I've been searching online and have been making phone calls, but can't seem to be able to source these within Canada.
Any recommendations? I'm in Edmonton and I'm not looking for a smith to do the work for me, I want my own tools.
Thanks
&
Best Regards

Ayup. Yer mail box is "In Canada".

Dunno why so many folks saddle themselves with the idea that they gotta get stuff that is not made here, here, instead of buying it from where it's made.

You can bring tools in yourself, or you can pay someone else rather a lot to do it for you. Brownells does not give a price break on tools, so you WILL end up paying more if you get it here.

You'd best make 'em yourself. Buying tools like that for as one time job(assuming it is that) gets horrendously expensive. Anybody doing that kind if work professionally will be buying tools Stateside, (usually Brownell's, but they aren't the only game) or making their own.
You can order the Ed Brown Jig directly from him at edbrown.com. Add the W's. Assuming he has the exporter's licence from the U.S. Commerce Dept.
 
Have no issues buying none local was just hoping it could get here and save a little bit of time not having to deal with the export licence from the U.S. Commerce Dept.
If none knows of a Canadian source, Brownell's it is.
Thanks guys, appreciate it.
 
Export paperwork is for gun parts and optics of "military" grade, which is pretty much all of them apparently.

No paperwork for tools and jigs, other than pay the taxes at import.
