I was EXCEPTIONALLY pleased with the build he did on my Mannlicher Ruger 77 7x57mau. Wambli's also had quite a bit of work done by him, and he's seemed to be pleased with his work every time

I second Justsomedude. His work is world class and he’s one of us! I won’t send a gun to anyone else.

Is it cheaper/better to have your slide milled vs buying an optic ready slide? I really have no idea but I am thinking of adding optics to two glocks next year.

No idea on the cost of a slide but I charge 120 for optic cuts and usually get them back to the customer by the next day.

Guy dropped it off yesterday. He's on his way to get it right now. I even duracoat where I did the milling so that I don't have to cerakote the whole slide to keep cost down. Laser sighted too.

AND, you get a precise fit for YOUR optic. No plate needed.
