    Yeah, that is a nice looking pistol. I wonder if they hump the feed ramps on the A1's? Stu

    Nope, not me.....I dropped $2300 or so on a spastic Springfield......I'm not brave enough to cross that $3000 threshold, much less 4000, 5000...........

    EDIT: I was remarking to my wife how much I DON'T know......I thought it was a $24-2600 pistol.....I've got a LOT to learn......

    Here's another one I took a stab at- http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=232855080 I didn't expect to get it at $1800, but I had no idea it would go this far NORTH^^^^^^^^^^

    I seem to remember that the direction of the machining marks are supposed to change from horizontal to vertical around the mag release, but I don't remember the details?
