Tim, you just brought tears to our eyes (Henri & I). You are a true honorable man. I think that's the route I will go. Now we must find the proper 1911 for this project.
I hear this is a really good choice.
I'm weird in this company, I know. But I'd have to sell another two guns and buy an Anschutz biathlon rifle with the straight pull Fortner action. Been Jonesing for one now since the new models came out. That our a 97 done like the Wizard's. I need a new 45.
