Do you guys know if Dr. Greyson is swamped and backlogged constantly? My friend has a 1911 he won as a prize for selling tickets, but it needs some work. I think it's pretty simple stuff, but I know jack about tearing apart a 1911 and replacing or fixing things. His hammer will drop when the beavertail safety is not engaged, so it's an unsafe gun at this moment. I know Dr. Greyson does good work by all accounts, but I just don't know if this is such a simple little job it would be wasting his time, you know? Kind of like getting a master artisan to do a simple repaint of your living room, eh? lol Might want a little light trigger work on it, too. He has zero in the gun, so he is willing to put a few bucks into sprucing it up. It's some overseas version - I think Turkish, he said? I dunno, I'll ask - just hate to waste Dr. Greyson's time if he's backlogged with custom high-end jobs and such.


<edit> Just asked him - he said it is a "Girsan".

Ive used Dr Greyson for years. He does excellent work. He built a custom 1911 caspian for me. Accu-railled, hard chromed. It's sic. Makes nice little holes at 12 yards. I have his cell # if you still need contact info.

I agree. Dr. Greyson did some ecxellent work on one of my Colts. And he is a really nice guy too!!

Since it is a relatively inexpensive gun, why not try it yourself? There's a lot of videos on the subject. I installed a bobtail on one of my Springers and installed a beavertail safety. The bobtail came out pretty well. The safety needs more work... Ed Brown sells the jigs, which should last a lifetime, and Village Tactical has a ton of assorted parts for one-stop shopping.

Bump for an oldie, but Mike doesn't appear to be on Facebook anymore, and accurateiron.com is down. Is he still an active member? As a backup plan, what's the docs OSA name so I could contact him?

I was informed that Mike doesn't do any custom work for individuals anymore. Which is why his site and facebook stuff is not there anymore.

These guys did some work for me. Very satisfied.
