Arkie_Lefty Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Gonna throw in a "plug" for My Nephew, Joe Chambers here. Joe's apprenticed to Mr. Bob Marvel in Crete NE. They are engaged in building the finest custom 1911's in the world. Each is a work of art, not to mention absolute reliability, function, and accuracy. Marvel Custom Guns has been in business for near 30 years, Joe has been there about 2. He's now serving his probation period for acceptance (1 year) into "The American Pistolsmiths Guild".While Springfield's custom shop, or Kimber's custom guns are nice, they in no way compare to these each one one of a kind built masterpieces.Had Joe do his magic on a Colt Combat Masterpiece, slick as owl $hit on glass, and too pretty to shoot (though I do occasionally) Also had him do a trigger tune up on an old 1970's Bill Wilson gun. Most would love to have a rifle trigger this crisp and clean. If you are planning to have a 1911 built, or just some re-work, give these guys a look.Bob Reed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Is that the same Marvel that makes the best .22 conversion kits for 1911's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkie_Lefty Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Bob Marvel did develop and begin marketing. Sold the patent or something. Someone else is actually building them now (I think).Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I believe this is the website of the company that produces the conversion.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
