    Merely proof that there is no limit to the things people can think of to do to a gun;
    as well as no shortage of unthinking people to do it.

    Or as my father would say " Hard evidence that horses asses outnumber horses".

    I've seen a lot of bizarre things but the individual who did this should be kicked in the testicles, repeatedly

    Remember...people also nickel plated their bring back Lugers.

    Turning what should be 800-1500 dollar collectibles into 200 dollar shooters...maybe.

    Stupidity...no doubt about it.

    This is equally as dumb as those that put 3000 dollar wheels on an old Chevy Impala that is worth maybe 2000 bucks.

    Funny you should mention the Lugers people liked to customize. I looked at one two yers ago that was nickel plated and then allowed to rust. The barrel looked like it was nickeled inside the bore ans had severe pitting. When I saw that I handed it back to the guy and he acted like I wasted his time. Ridiculous. He ruined a perfectly good pistol through ignorance and neglect.

    I can see tightening up the slide,barrel bushing even a trigger and sights to improve it as a shooter but that 1911 was bastardized. When I was a kid the surplus 1911 were dirt cheap back then who cared you could go out and buy another one..

    Yes, the exterior has been butchered to the point of ridiculousness. What's even more disconcerting is what was possibly done internally. "Internally it has had a trigger job and has about the lightest trigger pull I have ever seen on a gun." That right there should tell anyone interested to run away and never look back. What's done is done. I hope this..... "thing" is never bought by anyone for eternity and is buried with it's present owner when the time comes.

    I'm afraid to ask, but what did I miss?
