What a great pistol to look at to start off the year...The "Bobnose" of the business end looks great!

btw Chuck, your front and rear sights are on the money...one of the best decisions on my build so far!!!

Beautiful gun. One question, do you machine the recoil spring plug yourself for the "bobnose" job?

Chuck,

Your work is outstanding on this build!

I especially like the ball cuts, first ones I seen that mimic the original
ball cuts on early Colt 1911 - way to go Sir!!

I had the distinct pleasure to transfer the piece to its new owner and let me say, the gun is more impressive in the "steel" than in pictures.

Great Job Chuck and thanks again for the one I got from you.

How does the modified spring plug affect spring performance and spring rate choice? Do you have to take a coil off, or go one pound lower on the rate, or neither? Great workmanship and detail.
