Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Colt Mcalister does excellent work, he also haopens to be one of the best 97' shooters in the country so he knows what these guns need.

Miss Cubbie Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 The absolute MASTER of the '97 is Stuart Wright in Pinckneyville, IL. www.wrightsgunsmithing.com. He can make your '97 run like a dream!
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Lots of real good 97 smiths...I use Jim Bowie and TL...and they are of course two of THE finest. That said, find one of the Great ones that are close to you and use them. Support yer local gunsmith/gun shop. Phantom
shenny Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I'm suprised that no one mentioned that semi retired 97 smith, Coyote Cap. Shenny
Manatee Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 That's the benefit of being retired, you only take work when you want to and don't advertise any more. His son, Mogollon Drifter, does excellent work.
Guest Joe West, SASS#1532 L Regulator Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 That Manatee feller does good work on them. Joe
Manatee Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I am retired, Joe. I now only take work that is: Interesting and profitable.
Guest Joe West, SASS#1532 L Regulator Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Congratualations to you pard. Then I say also support your local gunsmith if you can see his work and it's the kind you like. Different people expect different acvtion work on their competition firearms. I'm not retired just tired. But I'm having fun. I just finished riding my 82 goldwing 3000 miles. Shot AL state shoot, TN state shoot then went to Biketoberfest in Daytona and toured a bit of FL. Now I have to work and act "normal" again, which you know is quite a strain for me. I'll shoot our annual match tomorrow. I hope to still be physically able to take trips next year and do March Daytona Bike week then about 7000 miles in the late summer catching Sturgis. Maybe catch up with you on the way. Take care of yourself, Joe
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I am retired, Joe. I now only take work that is: Interesting and profitable. Dang, Manatee is now a Gigolo! Thats what I'm gona be when I grow up and retire. ..........Widder
