I would post pics, but I can't. I don't know why. I followed the directions but I still can't. Anyway, got my Kimber Target II in stainless, 9mm. Looking forward to monday. Hoping to put a few rounds down range. I will follow up with a range report. Most likely I will switch the grips then, too. Yay me!!! C

I absoultely KNOW that my references mailed out my stuff in a very timely manner. That's part of the reason I chose them. 6 months... Yup, I'd be making noise. Skip the belligerence, but make some noise. C

Stopped by. Cheif has been in and out for surgery. Should be just a couple of more days. Thanks again for the advice, all. Much appreciated. C

Thanks all. I'm gonna swing by on the way to work today. C

I applied on the 1st of December. Should I call and ask about the status? Am I asking for "issues" if I do? C

I know. I heard it was imported from Italy! C

Anything I win is pretty "grand" to me! C

Hey Axeman. Yup. I saw your post and decided to post my good luck as well. Congrats on your win as well. C

Thanks gents. I will get to shopping in the next month or so. I want to order my frame and slide first. Most likely I will use the GC toward the purchase of my barrel. C

I posted in a thread on M1911.org as an entry for a contest. The admin contacted me the other day and my $100 Brownell's gift certificate showed up in my inbox yesterday. Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked! I am going to try and build my own 1911 so this will come in mighty handy. I never win anything. Chrisotpher

Welcome aboard! Where you from? C

I'm in Bergen as well. Welcome aboard! C

When you said "flake" I thought you meant like a hot rod, 50's bass boat flake job. Call Dave at A-Tech Autobody in Blairstown. Small, nit picky, 1-2 man shop. 908-362-9314 C

Contact Jet Agent. He's in that 'hood. C

Anyone know when it's set to see the street? I've done a little research, but I can't seem to find anything on it. Anyone held or shot it? C

Where are you located? Do you have a pic of the truck you can post? If it's a flake job, I know a couple of folks, but I would like to see the paint. C

Like...? What would you buy as opposed to what you bought? C

PM Sent to NickJC and Shane45. C

I've seen that. Pretty cool. Thanks for posting it. C

Picked up the Kuleck books last night. We'll see when they arrive what I'm going to do. C

It was a good read and reinforced that I don't want to "cheap out" on the components. I'm thinking this might be a good start. Any thoughts? C

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. Keep safe. C

I am thinking(hoping) that the kits will be more in the assembling with minor fitting. Do you have any experience with any of them? Would/could you recommend any? C

welcome aboard!!! C

I am very seriously contemplating building a 1911. I've never done it before, but I do have SOME mechanical ability. I have been talking to Bob at Fusion about one of his kits and that is most likely the way I will go, but I wanted to ask those on here that have done this before what they would have done differently the first time around. So, what would you have done differently the first time using hindsight as a 20/20 mirror? What books, videos, etc. would you recommend? I would like to get something like the AGI vids, but they are not in the budget right now. I'm thinking Walt Kuleck's book and Jerry Kuunhausen's book will get me through as well as folks on here. I am looking to build a range gun. Something I can take with me and have a lot of fun shooting and a lot of fun knowing that I built it. Maybe shoot local competitions. I love putting my hand in things that I will be using. I like knowing how and why things work. It's very fun and relaxing for me. Thanks for reading and I look forward to the responses. C
