Hi there,
I am interested in this class. I have the books, but what is the tool list, frame, slide and small parts specified? I am trying to make it to this class. But I may be deployed; I'm waiting for some paperwork to be pushed then hopefully I'll be able to come. Otherwise I may get screwed out of it. But to be honest I'd rather be pulling a trigger downrange than in a shop.

I have had some questions come up about the class, if anyone has any specific questions that I might be able to answer shoot me an email, glad to help!

I've got the parts & tools lists available, as well as a list of local hotels.

A pic of my Caspian that I completed in Larry's fall '08 class.

I had it finished in matte black IonBond DLC...no pics of it yet as I haven't seen the finished product due to my current deployment.

I'm in if the class isn't full yet. Been watching this for awhile since I was unable to swing the May class in OH that was cancelled.

If the tool/parts list are the same, I've got them. Is the class date firm for making flight reservations? Greg

Guys,
The class has been cancelled and is rescheduled for Feb 2010.

There will be a 1911 Operator's Course that is the weekend prior to the Pistolsmith Course.

Watch for a full announcement of both courses!!

Thanks,
Rob
