[QUOTE="SPDguns, post: 2955278, member: 17621"] I picked up this Colt 1911 from a buddy of mine a couple of days ago. He bought it new in the mid or late '80's. It's bone stock. He carried it on duty until he retired. He said it has been sitting in the safe gathering dust for the last 14 years. One of my brothers has one identical to it he bought brand new. The good news- No one had jacked with it. The bad news- no one had really taken care of it either. The price was OK, I pretty much committed to it before looking at it. No big deal- And- for those of you who have ever really played with one of these, John Browning was a genius! I got it home and had to PRY the rubber grips off of it. And they say the stainless steel won't rust. DISCLAIMER- Everything I've done/am doing will be reversible to return the gun to the original condition. No animals were harmed during the making of this project.[ATTACH=full]96553[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
