I sent John Harrison (http://www.harrisoncustom.com )my 70 series and had him do his magic. I had been on the list for a year and a half, waiting. John did the following work, and when he got done, he said that he shot 1.5" groups at 25yds with it, freehand. I haven't shot it since I received it back from him.
4lb Trigger job
Reliability package
High-grip and Serrate frontstrap 20lpi
Dehorn pistol throughout
Ed Brown recoil plug
Fit EGW oversize firing pin stop
Bomar-style adjustable rear sight
White dot front sight
Serrate top of slide 30lpi
Fit Ed Brown grip safety
Machine feed ramp to spec
Wolff springs throughout
Test fire and sight-in with Tripp & Colt mags
Hard chrome entire pistol and two colt magazines
I also had previously had Craig Maravoiv (a well-respected 'smith in NorCal) do the following work, which I waited 6 months for:
Fit Nowlin stainless match barrel
Fit Ed Brown trigger, disconnector, sear, and hammer
Tighten slide/frame fit
Fit Wilson hardcore extractor
Lower ejection port
Fit EGW barrel bushing
EGW pin kit
The pistol comes with 2 stainless Tripp research magazines, 2 hard chromed Colt magazines with Tripp kits in them, and a factory blued Colt 7 rounder. Also, I have a Bianchi Cobra holster which goes with the pistol - this is a great holster for practical use.
I have realized that I simply don't have a use for this beautiful pistol, and so I'd like to convert it to some funds or something I'd use more. I'd like $2500 for this Colt. I have over $3100 invested. John's wait list is currently at nearly two years, and Craig's is getting to be that long (as anyone who knows him can attest). Colt 70 series 1911s are non-rostered. Trade offers for a similar condition Glock 20, M1A, PTR91, or quality FAL are welcome. Thanks for looking!
