    Last pics of "Christine," I PROMISE





    Can't say enough about this gun. A modified S70 Colt. Perfect trigger, dead-on sights, perfectly reliable with ball and hollowpoints. Hands-down my favorite pistol (ahem, today).

    If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.

    Zombie,

    I just got it back. It took about 6 months. As OD says, the base gun was a s70 repro. I have all the basic custom touches plus a few extra like soldered plunger tube, etc.

    absolutely beautiful Series 70..I'm just curious, what made you choose Novak as opposed to some of the other well known custom gun smiths to do the work, and what was done exactly?

    Vlad,

    I picked Novaks because they are one of the best in the business. Their turn around times are reasonable and they have extremely good customer service. You call, you generally get the guy who is whittling on your gun. They aren't the cheapest, but they are top-tier. I have nothing bad to say about anyone else, I just like the guys at Novaks. I dropped into their shop one day and they showed me around. They are in the basement of this old house in a tiny town in West Virginia. I came by unannounced and they still were incredibly gracious. Hell, they knew who I was and showed me all kinds of goodies in Wayne's collection. You could tell they didn't get a lot of visitors. Hell, their shop is almost impossible to find, the people at the gas station across the street had no idea what I was talking about. A lot of people in the gun business are real type A-hole personalities--not these guys.

    I had the following work performed...


    Crown Barrel
    Replace All Springs: Recoil, Firing Pin, Main, Sear, & Plunger Tube Springs
    Inspection of all Components for Serviceability
    Test Fire with 50 rounds
    Novak LoMount Plain Black Wide Notch Rear Sight
    Novak Tritium Front Night Sight
    Novak Logo Marked on Slide
    N.M. Barrel Bushing
    Carry Bevel Treatment
    Novak Hammer Kit (Cmdr Style Hammer)
    Fit Extended Beavertail Grip Safety
    Fit Extended Strong Side Safety
    Fit Aluminum Trigger
    Bevel Magazine Well
    Lower & Scallop Ejection Port
    Novak Practical Grip Screws
    Refinish
    Bead Blast & Blue
    checker front strap
    solder plunger tube
