Several years ago, I bought a Springfield Armory "Loaded" 1911. It is a POS. It wasn't accurate out of the box. A friend offered to let me try his Bar Sto barrel out of his same model gun. I put it in and voila, cut the group size by about 75%. He mentioned that he had another one he would sell me, so I bought it. It was not a drop in fit, so I had a local guy who was supposed to have been an armor for the US Army pistol team fit it for me. He did a lousy job. Now the slide doesn't go into battery about half the time. I thought it might wear in so I fired about 1000 rounds through it, no dice. So it has sat in my safe ever since.
I am now thinking about sending it away to have it turned into a bullseye gun. I don't shoot bullseye mainly because I know of no where around here that holds formal bullseye matches. Never the less, I want a bullseye pistol. What gunsmiths do the serious competitors use ? What work do they have done ? How much does something like this cost ?
I checked out the Clark page, they don't give a whole lot of information but it appears that the accuracy work isn't all that expensive. But then I need the sights and trigger work................ Help would be appreciated.
