*Gunsmithing* Does anyone in Allen County have a 1911 front sight staking tool?

[philbert001]

I'd happily throw someone some cash or share some beer, if they'd be willing to help me stake a new front sight on my 1911! If no one has one, what shop would you trust to do yours, and approximately how much does it usually cost to have done? Thanks guys!

Call up Neil Keller, he will do it for relatively cheap.

No. I have straightened a few front sights on WASR rifles though.

Oh ok, just had a buddy of a buddy in Huntertown replace mine, I get it back timorrow. Would've been a heck of a coincidence.

I am taking a college soccer team to WV on Thursday. I'll be back Sunday. You are welcome to borrow the tool before I leave so you have it when the front sight comes in. or we could just get together Sunday and bash that front sight into submission.

I did an action job on the Winchester 94. It is pretty slick now.

Killians.

If I don't have it tomorrow or Wednesday, I might just take you up on that! I'll give you a call! Either way, I'll have a 12er of the Irish Red for ya! Thanks Dean!
