1911 Gunsmith in the DFW

#1

Post by carlson1 »

I have a Ed Brown that needs some minor fitting for going.

I bought a New Ed Brown’s threaded barrel. Definitely not a drop in. It needs some fitting. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Carl

I met Andrew McFarlane (ADM Firearms, Southlake) when he worked at Bass Pro a number of years back (back when they had a gunsmithing shop downstairs from the range). He opened his own place around 2015. I have not seen him in years, but when he was at Bass Pro he was knowledgeable, polite and a pleasure to work with. He seems to get good reviews.

Other place I was reading about is G Squared in Grandview, south of Ft Worth. Never met the man, but his website looks professional and again, he gets good reviews.

I used to go to Ken Crawley/Crawley Custom in Kemp, TX. But his website is no longer active, and he was not a young man 15 years ago, so I'm pretty sure he has retired.

Please let us know which way you decide to go, and how it works out.

McFarlane has his own shop in Grapevine….or maybe it’s Southlake at that point….Selous Gun and Rifle Makers: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uT1CL9L3piLV6uv ... eview.copy
