if you find something in stock that has some of those custom features, you lucked out - no wait time.

I had a chance to take a close look today. For those that are interested, they are in Scottsdale, AZ. at USAutoweapons. There website is www.usautoweapons.com. The two 1911's are NOT on there website as of last night. I am not affiliated with them in any way.

MARS Model O

Parkerized .45acp
$2395.00
Carbon fiber trigger
scalloped frontstrape and mainspring with lanyard loop
crowned colt barrel
STI beavertail safety
Heinie rear sight with Novak tritium front
NO front cocking serrations
Slide to frame was slightly loose

They also had a Stainless MARS Model O .38 Super. Not sure of the price.

I like the Parked .45 version, but it was missing a few things that I like on my 1911's. Mainly the front cocking serrations and magwell. Not really a big deal, but for that kind of money one should get what they want even for a little more added to the price.

Hope this helps,

Wally

I remember you posting that. I like it. I like how the frame turned out but don't care for the two tone look but otherwise, looks very nice.

Look like this:
Crucible


or

THUG


Pics from MARS sight linked above.

It looked like the THUG, but they called it something like:

MARS Model O Base Gun

But it looked exactly like the THUG in the picture above.

Marsguns...hmm for some reason this sounds familiar.

Was this operation ever in Utah? I recall meeting Marsguns at a Crossroads gun show like a year ago.

Yes it was.

Yes it was.

ETA: Rubberneck beat me to it. I guess you discovered "yes" was too short, too.

the two-tone finish was what i requested - steve will do it however you please, and will also offer suggestions on what kind of finish would work best for your needs. steve is great to work with - he'll build what you want, but also has the experience to know what works and doesn't, and will let you know if your choices might not be the best.
