I wish I had taken some better photos before I started working on it.

Had some help from our local comic, Beetle Bailey, and Master Yoda in making this POS something that I will keep for a long time :)

I sure am glad that one turned out Mark. It sure shot nice. Congrats on the HP as well. Great guns.

WOW!! What a difference. You should see the one I sent Chuck Rogers. It looked like someone carried it around in their trunk for about six years; I can't wait until Chuck is done working his magic over it. I felt so bad about sending Chuck that POS, I ended sending him a NRM S70 just to make up for it.

Nicely done Mark. Yoda is a great teacher isn't he. We even have to give credit to Sargent Bailey, when he can find time to be at the shop.

I'd be happy to break it in for you. :lol:

Very nice. Just getting rid of those Hogue wraparound grips helped tremendously. :)

I really wish that I had better BEFORE photos. The thing looked REALLY bad. And it didn't shoot particularly well either.

Now, it shoots good and looks even better. I had a lot of help on this from Ted and Steve, so I can't take credit for it. But know I feel like I can do some things to my own pistols without having to pester someone else to do it for me :lol:
