I’m in the neighborhood. Ade sold the place and retired some month’s ago. I go in there once in a blue moon. I can’t remember if this gunsmith was there when Ade was still the owner or not. I’ve been burned by other so-called gunsmiths around here, and if I was going local, I would use Alan Tanaka in Gardena.
Pretty low rent to steal from you, that’s for sure.
I am a 1911 enthusiast and shooter. I am looking to have some work done on my Springfield. Namely I want to stipple the front strap (perhaps golf ball), undercut trigger guard, dehorn, and have the sear/hammer worked to improve the crispness of the break.
I came across your website and was intrigued.
Upon inspection of the pictures you have posted though I see that those guns are clearly Chuck Rogers work.
BTW, your work is gorgeous, I had the oppertunity to handle one of your pieces owned by Tony M at a couple recent FIRE Inst. classes I attended. Amazing. I hope one day to be able to retain your services.
