Gunsmith Suggestions

Bought a new pistol and am scrapping the factory sights. I don't have the tools to drift out the rear and don't particularly want to make a mess of things trying. Can anyone recommend a spot in the Akron/Canton area that could swap my sights out for me. I have the new sights just need someone to switch them out. Preferably someone who does good work and doesn't charge an arm and leg considering it's a relatively easy job.

Not in the Akron/Canton area but this guys about a half hour from you in Alliance.

 

[Kempire]

Have you done business with them before?

Not personally but have talked to a few who did and spoke highly of him.

Any self respecting gun enthusiast would be able to do what you need, especially if their into building AR platforms. They’ll have the required tools laying around

Yeah, I used to have a sight drift and sold it because I never used it. Kind of regretting it now because it's not a hard job. I appreciate the reply

I was thinking about them or kames because they are both a lost closer to me than Alliance.

I haven’t been too Kames in a long time, forget about them being there....

So for $25 on amazon I was able to nab a front sight tool, urethane pads for my vise, and nylon drift punches. I think I just solved my problem.

Old sights

Dude, you got some seriously fucked up toes.

 

[Kempire]

New sights. Thanks Amazon!

 

[Dustinb80]

Well done

Ha! Years of jiu-jitsu. They're a mess, but still attached.

 

["J"]

Good deal, how’d it go?

 

[Kempire]

Front sight was cake. Rear took a little massaging and I didn't think I was ever going to get that sucker centered, but all in all not bad. Less than an hour.

 

[Dustinb80]

What kind did you go with?

 

[Kempire]

Ameriglo tcaps. For the money they are pretty sweet.

I don't want to derail this thread about his work but seriously Dustin? How did you notice his toes when we were all looking at the gun parts? Why did you notice them? He's a dude. Dude feet shouldn't matter ugly or not. I'm a little concerned for you. Does your wife know about your dude foot fetish?
