Stripped down the 1911 to put some polished nitre blued pins and screws on her and will decide on mammoth tusk or some nice burl wood to make handles next. This isn't a high end gun to start with but everything can be taken off and used on another gun in the future. Surprisingly I've been super pleased with the performance though - it's a US version of the Turkish Tisas spec 1911. Had to reference some diagrams to get her back together. Don't do this if you don't know what springs are under pressure also! haaa (ask me and my dog how we know - he quickly found pieces that bounced off the ceiling!)
