Not sure if this is at all a possibility, but here goes. I love everything about my Colt Series 80 government, except those darn rear cocking serrations. There just too fine, always kind of liked the wide and deep style myself, Kimber style. Anyway, is there anyway to do a differrent "treatment" for the cocking serrations and have it look like it was meant to be this way? I know the easiest thing to do would be to get a Caspian slide and have it done anyway I like, but I really want to keep my Colt rollmarks. Has anybody ever done this, or have had it done? Thanks.

KB,
Few things are impossible with the right motivation and enough money, but there's not much you can do to remove existing cocking serrations and cut in new ones. You'll start to get too close to the extractor tunnel and the side wall of the slide ways. I'm not saying you couldn't "erase" the existing serrations and cut something very shallow in it's place, but that's not what you're looking for. Adding material by welding isn't a fix that I'd recommend in the scale needed and in that area. Really the "easy" fix of a new slide is the only practical one.

What about milling away every other raised serration?

Could you file across the serrations to turn it into a checkered type pattern and then dull down the points?
