      After the notch was cut, the hooks were trued and cut to height.

      The owner of this in-progress 1911 wanted a retro look, but with some upgrades for USPSA. The hammer is one such item. Has the old school spur, but skeletonized for a bit of weight reduction. This particular hammer came with a solid half-cock shelf and it needed cut to expose just the "notch"...

      Finishing up the initial frame clean-up. The frame will have to be addressed again just prior to sending it to finish to remove any sanding marks and any marks from other machine processes, as well as to make sure all of the lines are straight.

      Working out the machine marks on the frame. Time consuming, but worth the effort.

      Removed machine marks off of the frame deck. This doesn't enhance the performance, but looking at machine marks in a not so inexpensive 1911 is unthinkable...

      That is a very good question! There are very few places that do Cerakote well for tight fitting 1911's. Accuracy X is a company that is building really tight, hideously accurate 1911's and they Cerakote. It is not an easy task to Cerakote a tight fitting 1911 and do it correctly. The tolerances...

      Fitted and roughly contoured the grip safety. I will clean up the contouring after fitting the barrel. The first picture shows how to properly address the frame to make radius disappear in the grips safety. Second pictures shows the profile.

      Bedding a savage 110fcp hs( looking for pointers)

      Rifles are not my forte, but I have bedded them before. I would differ to anyone with more experience and knowledge than me. Having said that, pillars serve a couple of purposes and one it to prevent compression of the stock material between the action and the head of the bolts when tightening...

      LOL. The EGW/JEM GS is nice because it has a lot less material on it than a regular GS. There is a lot less metal to remove when contouring.

      It is an EGW mage GS for the Jem frames. Will have to do some work on the top and bottom not to get the lines straight.
