Springfield RO Rework

I finally had time and did one of my personal projects I have been wanting to get to.
Plus I wanted a Bronze 1911 too

That's HOT. Maybe you need to bob a couple of my 1911s for me.

 

[AllenM]

This is just a rounded MSH not a full bobtail. I really like it for the Gov model.
I would be glad too.

 

[iChokePeople]

I'm getting old -- haven't you posted full bobs you've done before? Or am I thinking of someone else?

 

[AllenM]

I do full bobtails, this just isn't one of them

Looks beautiful, love those grips with that color!

Makes me even more excited to see mine when its done!

I like that a lot. I assume it's all regular sized parts rounded and smoothed down. When $ permit, I may have to look real hard at that.

It is actually a MSH that has rounding built in. I just had to trim the frame

Is that the barrel you were working on last night? I think that looks absolutely awesome!

Looks great! The welded up holes look great!

I agree. Those grips and the black safeties, slidestop and sights really set it off. Another sharp looking pistol sir.

Looks wayyyyyy mo betta! How difficult was it to weld and smooth all those holes in the frame? I really like the grooved slide and rounded MSH. You have some mad pistol building skillz!

Honestly it was a little bit of a pain using a MIG. Someday I will have a TIG welder

All these threads make me want to find old beat up 1911s and just send them to you to have them worked on. Very nice work...really like that top milled slide look!
