    A couple of the issues this gun had, they were minor thankfully. End the end I did need to replace some parts that were well worn.


    These machining marks are very normal for Colts from this era.

        I might have lowered the ejection port if it was gonna be re-blued anyway, but it looks very nice.

        although I suppose there are a few tanks which I owe an apology to for that remark"

                        Looks good and excellent workmanship.

                        If it were mine ( if I see that right in the pics) I would have got a rear sight that would not protrude beyond the rear of slide like seen on some CZs.
                        IMHO, a rear sight that is flush or just barely short of slide's back gives a more contoured/graceful look to a 1911.

                          Just looked at that, that does look goofy....

                            It was an odd rear sight. Longer than a standard Novak cut and then swooped backwards.

                              It's all good. Your work is legit. As long as your customer is happy. Then whatever floats their boat
