Call Firearms finishing. They are first class gunsmiths and I heard that they recently got a Mill. If they have the equipment to do it, they will do it right with a fast turn-around time and for a decent price.

Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.

Protection First would be the place to go for milling. The guy that runs the CNC knows what he is doing.

2/3rds of the worlds surface would be wasted if it wasn't for boating.

Yea, I text him and he is not doing it anymore. I don't know why. They looked pretty cool.

Easy money for Justin. Too bad his business plan and lack of execution spelled his demise. And no, protection first no longer has anyone milling slides. Sorry if this is a necro post.
