Hello everyone, I just met the wonderful man in the Fed-ex truck who dropped off my pistol. It came all the way from Sugar-land Texas courtesy of Teddy Jacobson of Actions by T. What follows will by my review of the work done. I shipped the gun off on the 25th of last month and it was delivered today. Turnaround time gets an A+ from me. The work done was extensive.
1.Complete Action Job, everything inside the weapon is polished and jeweled like you would not believe. Its pictured below.
2. Install Hammer and trigger Wolff springs, and replace the recoil spring.
3.Clean and lube the weapon
4.Polish the breech face, Its slick let me tell you.
5.Re-cut crown to 45 degrees and polish the bore
6.Refinish the rear barrel section.
7.Polish the feed ramp. I can see myself in it, no joke.
8.Paint the sights and place his logo
The trigger was reduced and smoothed out from 12.5 DA and a 6 pound SA to a 9 pound DA and a 5 pound SA. Grand total with shipped was just under 300. Keep in mind that shipping is 65 or so.
Teddy is a great guy to work with, I called what felt like daily and he was never too busy to give me an update on my weapon and to answer any question I had. His communications gets a big star in my book.
The overall gun
Polished Internals
Re-crowned and polish muzzle
Below is a question I have, when Teddy was re-working the barrel he noticed that there were no locking lugs on the barrel. Can anyone confirm this and let me know if this is a 3rd gen thing. This barrel is new from S&W I had it replaced about 4 months ago and it has given me almost 2,000 trouble free rounds. Here are the shots of the barrel.

Total was $583, that included both guns plus return shipping. Total time 34 days and that included him holding the guns until my deposit cleared before starting work and waiting to ship until final payment cleared(I paid by check). I am extremely happy with his work and saving to send him my sigs for an action job and to install the short reset trigger. You will not be disappointed with Teddy's "Action by T" work.
