Colt needs some TLC

[PBR]

Hey Folks I got a Colt 1911 here that I'm looking to get refinished. It does need some body work done as it was a service carry for over 20 yrs. Looking to get the same type of finish. Any recommendations or leads to anyone in or around the Houston / Baytown area? Thanks

Just.. wow.

I have a guy in Conroe that does really good refinishing and also 1911 gunsmithing. He's very reasonable. PM me if you would like his info.

Send it to Colt for the Tactical package. It includes a refinish of your choosing.

That's their entire service line up. You can pick and choose but the Tac pkg is a deal.

thanks for the list -- yea that tac package is nice but way out of my range (disability income only). but i figured their refinishing prices would be a little higher considering its from Colt -- i think i would like to stay local though -- the gun will not be carried and probably not shot anymore just stored and passed down to family

Google Actions by T and see who Teddy recommends. Teddy is pretty much "The guy" for 1911s in Houston. He
Doesn't take on much work anymore, but he's good.

EDIT: Good grief, I left out the word "adopt."
