      Interesting choice but it's pretty Time for some ivory (or faux ivory) grips!

        Nice.

        I'm thinking about sending my Challenger to Colt to have it reblued.
        Yes you can have 2 C&R 03 FFL's; 1 in California and 1 in a different state.

          Perfect. Did Colt actually do the work? I'm a sucker for the old deep bluing.

                thanks

                don't know who really did the re-blue work, but I sent it to the Colt Custom Shop.

                Here's the box using the same goncalo alves wood as the stock

                  Looks great. Some of the nicest bluing I've seen was from Turnbull Mfg.

                    Very nice.

                    I like the (faux) ivory idea or maybe some real stag grips to go on it.
