My brother-in-law recently inherited a 1911 that has not had any love for a number of years. It seems to be in decent shape at first glance, but he and I both feel that it needs to be gone-over by someone who knows what they are doing before it is fired.
I have offered to help him get it up and going -- he is fairly new to guns, and I don't have any 1911 experience.
Would it be best to actually engage a gunsmith for this kind of work? Any recommendations in the Indy area for someone who loves to work on 1911's and isn't overly expensive?
