Thanks Bill I will.
Thanks Bill I will.
Got the parts in yesterday, all the parts look new,except the grips. They even look good
For the $$ it's a heck of a deal. So far I've mounted the safety tube, ejector, trigger and MSH. The ejector was a little fat which is OK as I'd rather fit it and have it right. The ejector mounted in the receiver and the pin went right in. Later today I hope to install the hammer, disc, sear and hopefully the thumb safety. Photographs to follow on a separate thread.Originally Posted by jjones

Pappy's Rule #1-The truth is the truth and sometimes it hurts, but you never have to apologize for it.
Pappy's Rule #2-Politicans like baby diapers should be changed regularly and for the same reason.
Pappy's Rule #3-Dealing with some people is like wiping your ass with a hula hoop, there's no end to it and there's no part of it that smells good.
Pappy's Rule #4-When you discover someone has a burr under their saddle the best thing to do is hop right up on the saddle and grind that burr in a little deeper.
Pappy's Rule #5-The squeaky wheel gets the grease, until it squeaks to long or to loud, then it gets replaced.
Here is what I am starting with.
What do you have there? It looks like it needs a little clean up?

It is a colt 1911, that I think was made in 1918. It was brought to me to refinish, and if possible make work. They found it in a coffee can in their grandfathers barn. The only parts that can be used are the frame and slide. I have it sand blasted, and in the process of getting it ready for cerakote. I will post some pics when I am done.
'Sand-blasted', or did you mean glass-beaded??..We switched to glass beads years ago, and it make a much cleaner surface, with out eroding metal..IMHO. At any rate interested in how the cerakote works for you, I have not tryed it yet??Og
I don't use sand, I use 80 grit garnet. I have to use that so the cerakote will adhere to the metal. I will post pics when I'm done, the cerakote works great. This is one I did for a guy.
Jjones, good looking cerakote! I'm thinking of buying a small blasting cabinet. Do you have any recommendations?

I use a barrel blaster, it works great for pistols, and most rifles. It gets a little tight when doing barreled actions, but it works good for me.
