Ajax, any closer to making out any of the serial number for research purposes?
was you able to remove the slide stop/safety plunger and spring?......if you get it freed up and with the thumb safety in the slide stop may stay in better...
nice work BTW...
Ah, the traditonal OIL finish!
Sure, there is no way to guarantee outcome, but it could be fun.Ajax, can not wait to see that in action! So the original barrel-link worked out ok?
Curious, if I ever find or purchase a 1911 in similar condition, would you consider performing this treatment on it for $$? I'd like to do it myself but don't have the space at my current home.
Again, that is seriously one of the most beautiful 1911s I've ever seen, but then again I think Edsels are good looking cars LOL
