ROBAR custom work

Sorry,I don't have first hand knowledge of Robar's work,but have visited their websight and admired the 1911 types they show there.That Combat Master is beautiful and I have thought about having them do work myself.

The reason I responded is because I have asked this very question here,on Gun Broker forum,Guns and Ammo forum,and Pistolsmith.com and have never gotten a response about the quality of Robar's 1911 skills,so you might have a hard time getting feedback.Seems like everyone rates their rifle and plating work as first class,so thats encouraging.

Maybe the best way is to go ahead and call them yourself and ask lots of questions.This way at least you'll find out if they know what they're talking about as far as 1911's are concerned(If you've hung out here awhile I'm sure you have a good base of knowledge)and also how willing and helpfull they might be.Ask for some customer references you might contact.

Hope this helps,Byron

While I have never had any 1911 work done by ROBAR, I have had Glock work done (2 each beavertails installed G-22, G-17). I have had several AR/M4 bolt carriers groups coated with NP3. I have also had trigger groups (hammer, selector, disconnector, pins etc) and charging handles coated with NP3. The NP3 has worked great. It is easy to clean, protects from rust, and makes the parts operate smooth and slick. This allows minimum lube use in desert environments. I have also fired several of his sniper rifles (not my personal weapons) and they were high quality tools in accuracy as well as function. As to the NP3 pealing, I have not seen this on my weapons even after thousands of rounds over several years. I believe only way that stuff could peal is if it was not applied to a properly prepared surface or if it is not applied to the correct thickness. If it does peal make sure and send it back as it is guaranteed by ROBAR.
Hope this helps.
