There is a guy, in Greenfield, but he only does it twice a year.... RAM Gunsmith .....
One of INGO's own members, AllenM, does fantastic work. I recently damaged one of my handguns, a Kimber 1911. Allen repaired and refinished it. It works like new and looks better than the day I bought it.
I highly recommend AllenM, and suggest you send him a PM.
You're welcome.I got just what i thought i would get on the internet ,advise that is worth what i paid for.IT,
I have a pistol that. i am going to have engraved and install a set of my IVORY grips on .DON"T want a crappy paint job on something that will be with me and My family for years to come.
I asked for someone that BLUED guns.
It is not a family heirloom yet and yes it may go to Turnbul or Fords .As long as it is my money and my fire arm (not yours )I want it the way I want it .
it needs to be stripped and polished ,then sent to a local Indiana engraver (Terry Miller )Then back to the smith to be blued. I got just what i thought i would get on the internet ,advise that is worth what i paid for.IT,

Actually I gave you some excellent free advice along some free criticism,
When your a ass or become arrogant people tend not to help you.
Good Luck on your search.
Nice of you to defend your friend, but he's a big boy and a little common courtesy on the net bridges the gap left by lack of personal communication. Even a 12-year-old knows how to say "thank you but that's not what I had in mind". Looking down your nose at someone because they're on the net when your on the net yourself does seem a bit arrogant, no matter how much of a prince you may be in person. No problem, that's about what INGOers expect from someone from Hammond.I know Walt and I am familiar with the firearm in question. He is one of the nicest guys I know. He is looking for someone to do a professional reblue on this firearm and intends to have it engraved and then he will hand carve ivory grips for it. From what I've read in this thread he was pretty specific about what he wanted done. I know there are a lot of people who can do a stellar job of refinishing a firearm but he is looking for someone who can do a top notch professional reblue. Walt is the polar opposite of an a** or arrogant, he just knows what he wants and won't settle for anything less. My 2 cents and change.
You're from Munster and you're you're judging someone from Hammond? How's the view down your nose? Just sayin'. I knew I shoulda stayed out of this p*ssin' match but Walt is one of the last of the old school gentlemen.Nice of you to defend your friend, but he's a big boy and a little common courtesy on the net bridges the gap left by lack of personal communication.

Hey I'm a real gem when you meet me in person. And no, I'm not from Munster, I just live here. I'm from East Chicago, so I know all about Hammond, good place to stay out of.You're from Munster and you're you're judging someone from Hammond? How's the view down your nose? Just sayin'.
