I am considering puchasing a custom built bullseye pistol in 1911 form and would like to hear about anyone's experiences with Clark custom, Marvel custom or any other custom gunsmiths. TYIA

I can recommend Bill Jenkins at 10-X Gunsmithing in Vero, FL. 772-770-6147
He just built a wad gun for me.

Have the Les Baer, but think I should have paid for the 1 1/2" group guarantee. But in the mean time, as far a accuracy goes, 25yd. 5-shot groups nearly all touch. I am not fond of the GI grip panels, so off they went and Karl Nills Adj. Match grips on it with the Ultra Match Dot. Now, that's a combination!

I second the Dave Salyer recommendation. Fine man, good gunsmith and you should not have to wait a year for your gun. However, if you have not shot much bullseye or are returning after several years break, I would suggest buying a used gun and figuring out such details as whether you prefer a roll or crisp trigger, long, medium or short, arched or flat mainspring housing, beaver tail, frame or slide dot mount etc.

Contact Greg Derr at derrprecision.com. He is a poster on this forum, builds excellent quality match 1911's, and is an outstanding bullseye and international pistol shooter. He knows accuracy and nothing goes out the door unless it is right. I have known Greg for years and he is very particular about his work.

I will give another thumbs up for Dave Salyer.
He does nice work. His prices are reasonable. His turnaround is pretty quick, and he won't try to sell you a lot of bells and whistles.

What are the prices for these guns and what is the accuracy @ 50 yds?

Fabian · Post by **Fabian** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 7:08 pm

Can anyone provide the contact info, Email or phone number for Mr. Salyer, I have wrote to him more than once to the address that appears on prior posts, but to no avail.

Thanks.

Try this contact for Dave Salyer:
(803) 327-6902
bullseye"at"cetlink.net

This is a couple years old so may be out of date. Another option is to contact him through the Charlotte Pistol Club.
http://www.cr-pc.org/
He is well known there.

Best,
Jim

You'll probably pay over $2,000 for a complete gun. Accuracy is sub 10 ring at 50 yards.

Does Ed Masaki still build guns? Sure am happy with the guns he has built for me. It has been at least 5 years since I last contacted him.

I have two Marvel wad guns. The second was done by Joe Chambers when he was working with Bob. Both are exceptional and Bob and Joe are both excellent to work with.
