Ha! Ned I have a formerly blued Colt with formerly razor sharp edges. It's been tamed in the edge department which required a new finish [cerocote]. It was and still is reliable and accurate enough for my eyes. I guess I got lucky.

So I delivered this old Colt with the new slide and barrel last week. 710 rounds on it sofar, must be the weather holding him back.
I dearly love this thread.......thanks for sharing all this information
I was surfing through this thread from pg. 1 this afternoon agonizing over how photobucket has destroyed one if the greatest 1911 technical threads ever online.
This should have been a book instead of a thread. I've learned more in these pages than anything before.
I would absolutely agree to the above ^
Photobucket broke the internet worse than net neutrality.

May they never commit the devious stupidity that PhotoIdiot did.
May the janitor at PhotIdiot kick over the mopwater and short out their server, causing whatever hostage pics they didn't already delete, to be deleted.
Actually I don't wish that upon whatever few customers they have remaining, but I do wish it upon them.
This thread is a huge Springfield testament and a huge testament to good gunsmithing. I appreciate great guns and great work, its the best of both worlds. And lastly a testament to the platform that lives today as strong as ever. My apologies for my soapbox speak but it cant be contained. at the moment.
