Help with 1911 for basic Gunsmith work
My take on this subject is for you to buy the Colt series 70', but don't mess with it for now. Purchased a well used SA for the purposed of learning how to gunsmith the 1911 flatform. Someday when you are very proficient with the 1911 flatform, then that will be the time you do some modification to your series 70, make sense? no!
