Finally a long project of building a 1911 is done.
I purchased a plain jane SA G.I. 1911A1 for $485 plus tax about a year ago.
I basically purchased this gun as "build gun" and here is the end result.
Novak Combat tritium night sights. S&A flared magwell, ambi Wilson Combat safety selector, Bar Stow extended and threaded NM barrel with match crown and match barrel bushing. Wilson light weight combat hammer and cylinder and slide Professional trigger pull kit (4.5 LPS) Chip McCormick beavertail grip safety, additional lowered ejection port with bullet nose relief cut and custom grips. The feed ramp is polhsed and the barrel is throated and polished. I use Wilson 8 round mags and she's smooth as silk and 100% reliable. The threading on the barrel is .578X28 so it fits my Knights and SWR HEMS suppressors just perfect. Trigger is also a skeleton Wilson Combat. Also had 20 LPI front strap checkering.
The Durocoat is an Olive Drab. Wish I had done a Desert Tan or Dark Earth, but I still like the Olive Drab finish. The slide is parkerized Matte Black. Next will be front slide etchings and then I'm going to leave it alone.
