My first full and complete build, mostly back from refinishing (still some delays but **** happens). This was a very challenging but rewarding process and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I found that the best resource in learning how to do this was Hilton Yam's 10-8 1911 duty tune DVD. It saved me a lot of problems and headaches. Hope you all enjoy!
