[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3697441, member: 24867"] Also remember that this guy is running a business. He explained in the video that this particular 1911 was not historically significant. It was his customer's decision to refinish it. Perhaps they had a special reason for doing it. Maybe it had been in the family for a while and the original owner always wanted to refinish it. Perhaps they just picked it up at a show and wanted to give it some new life and shoot the heck out of it. Mark Novak still has bills to pay, and I don't put any fault on him for doing this work. If it was my pistol would I want to have that work done, probably not, but it isn't the smith's decision. It is the customer. I can see both sides of this, but this wasn't a particularly special firearm. Some people just want to bring old guns into the new millennium, and so I give the customer kudos for at least having the work done by a highly qualified gunsmith. Now if someone brought Mark Novak a Singer or an early Colt 1911 and wanted it parkerized, I would expect him to educate the customer on what they have. This gun doesn't come close to that. It should be used and enjoyed in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
