Contacted Fords today via phone, and their price is $300.00 for a nickel finish on a Pre-War Colt Official Police. Then I contacted Mahovshk's Metalife and they want $150.00 for a nickel finish on the same revolver.
The turn around is 5 months plus at Fords. Turn around at Mahovshk's is 30 days plus.
I know where I am shipping it to on Monday. I have read both places do quality work.
I'm impressed with Metalife.
They seem to be squared away and have decent offers.
Gunwriter & former LE officer; "Chuck Taylor" has high praise for Metalife. www.Mahovskysmetalife.com
They charge about $10.00 per pistol magazine too, .
Robar NP3+ is good but they are not cheap & the shop time can be a long wait. www.RobarGuns.com
