1911 Customization help!!

[jared.scoggan]

Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a Springfield Armor Range officer 1911-A1, it is a great gun, while I was buying it (from Academy, Alexandria LA) i learned the serial number NM307666, given the last 3 of the serial are 666, I was really wanting to have "Gabriel" engraved on the right side of the receiver near the muzzle, and "REAPER" engraved on the left side near the muzzle and then get it reblued, does anybody have any recommendations on who in CELA who can do the work?? I don't want to pay a ton of money to have it done so I am trying to avoid the SA Custom shop, any recommendations would be much appreciated. Also if anybody knows where I can custom order some grips (i want the wood grips but with my own image instead of the SA logo).

Please feel free to call anyday 6am-10pm or text 24/7

if someone can do this, i can pay in cash or i have a decent amount of .40 S&W ammo and no firearm to shoot it, could do some trade work

That gun ain't parkerized? I didn't think SA blued any of the standard guns anymore.

For grips, look at the Grips4U website under Colt 1911, or click on the link to their customizing service.

I believe your SA-RO1911 has a Melonite finish however,I could be wrong. If it is indeed a 'bluing finish' after it is engraved a cold blue application should do the trick. I know of several folks that have had engraving work done at trophy shops and the results looked very good. You might want to take a little time and call around to make some inquiries. Good luck!

The gun is parkerized, simple as that.
