I think Tripp research can do it - SOmeone posted a pic on another site a while back of one, and he stated that he had Tripp do it. But, I also read a post of someone last week who stated that Tripp was not taking anymore custom work after June 1. So, never mind, scratch that idea. I just remembered...

No, they would buy the parts the same way U would.

To my knowledge, Ed Brown is the only one who makes that part. U would have to order from them. I doubt their company will work on pistols that are not Ed Brown, but they might.

If you google "1911 gunsmith" - U will get a bunch of sites that does work on 1911 (I did this search several months ago). I remember seeing a few who had the bobtail listed.
