........ EXTREME MAKEOVER

I'm not sure where to start......
tell everyone how happy I am with my new Colt or to tell everyone on how great it was to work
with Ray Harms at the Yo-Bo shop!
I guess I'll start with the builder because this fine wepon would not exist with out him.
Ray is a class act from the first time I talked to him on the phone to the many times we talked during the build.
I knew what I was looking for but Ray helped me through the things I over looked.
So thank you Mr. Harms

This Colt ran as good as it looks. Functioned like a top with out a hick-up in the 100+ rounds of 230FMJ,230/200HP I put through it this evening. My best 5 shot group was 1 5/8" with the 230FMJ the typical was 2 1/2-3" with the mix of ammo off the bench at 25yds. I'm sure the gun is capable of much better but my tired eyes are not Damn bi-focals
Ray told me he got some impressive groups when testing it out.
The gold line front sight is a great touch and very functional as I was finishing up shooting near dusk.
Overall this was a Damn fine investment! Thanks again Ray

All depends on whether you want carbon or stainless steel, Gary. I don't have a problem with either.

Notice how effortlessly I returned that serve and placed the ball right back in your court?

What a coincidence, I now own this gun and it is absolutely beautiful. Gary, you let go of a wonderful piece! I haven't got a chance to shoot it yet since I am back in the mid east but it will tide me over until I get my CT Brian twins in 5 years....(or triplets Tim, if you haven't bought the parts yet...I am still on the fence regarding that longslide...)

I am happy to have found your gun for sale and available RIGHT NOW. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to acquire that piece as my first true custom. Unfortunately now I am spoiled and nothing less than what LTW guys can produce will do...this will be my end.
