It's target sports that's between 12 and 13 but they don't do gun smithing.  Williams gun sight in Davison is good.

Have they put one on staff?  The last I knew they were doing some armorer stuff (installing sights, detail cleaning, replacing worn/broken parts) and sending out any actual smithing.

I believe On Target in Kalamazoo has an on staff gunsmith.

Dan at Silver Bullet in Grand Rapids has done a nice job for me on a couple of projects involving add ons and reliability work on 1911's.

Check out Kent Will at Gander Mountain in Kentwood, MI. 616-975-1000. He grew up in a gunsmith family and is carrying on the family business.  His brothers also work at Bachelder Master Gunmaker Inc.  1229 Michigan St NE Grand Rapids 616-459-3636

But I hear that the local smith they use does good work.
