Alchemy Custom in IL Jim Garthwaite in PA Business End Customs in MA I have used Alchemy. Fast, efficient and amazing work. No one in NJ I would recommend for the work, honestly. Good luck. C Edit to add: Since it's a top end, it can just hit the mail. That's a beautiful thing.

9mm 1911. As a range toy it can't be beat and is a great HD gun with a bit of traiining, in my humble opinion. He is welcome to try mine out. PM me if you're interested. C

And then there's this... http://www.alloutdoor.com/2014/11/10/researchers-propose-remotely-disabled-smart-guns/ This is why I believe many in the gubbmint want smart guns to be the only guns sold. Blah! on them. C

I believe you can only ship long guns in state. Correct me if I'm wrong, please. Regardless, sometimes the shipping thing is a deal breaker. C

The UPS guy by me is licensed to ship guns. That being said, he wanted 30 bucks to ship 1 box of ammo. I can't even imagine how much he would want to ship a gun. So, 29 bucks to ship something seems pretty reasonable to me. C

So, it looks like they send a prepaid label, you box the gun and take it to a UPS shipping center. Away it goes. Sound like that's the deal? C

Blah, blah, blah... Does anyone know a good, commander sized 1911 with a steel frame they would recommend for customizing? If Springifield was still doing the Champions I would go with one. However they aren't so I am looking for something to work on if I do buy the gun. And before you say it, the Range Officer Compact is an officer sized frame, not what I want. I like the Lightweight Champion Operator but it's aluminum and I've decided it's not for me.

Well... I got stumped. Oh well. I may head up really early Monday morning. We'll see. It poured pretty much all day. Blah. C

No worries. I'll let you know how flippin' cold it is/was. C

Are y'all messing with me??? It's a dead heat in the poll. C

Thank you. However trust me when I say I'm not that good. The last one I did came as a pre-fitted kit. I sanded parts to make them look good but didn't do any of the heavy lifting, so to speak. This one I will be looking to do everything but the paint. C

1 under my belt. Learned a lot. Willing to learn more. C

So, next year I want to add another 1911 to the safe. I've built one in 9mm from a Fusion kit. I have a couple others that I've purchased. What should I do for the next one? If I buy, it will most likely be a Springfield TRP, non railed or the Range Officer Compact. If I build, it will be a Commander sized, in Sniper grey frame with a black slide. Blah, blah... On my Fusion, I farmed a touch of the work out, on this one I want to do everything I can. What say ye? Build or buy? Christopher

I have the 357 version. I like it a bunch. C

Hey Peter. It was great speaking with you a couple of weeks ago. I wish you all the luck in your endeavor. Best to you and yours in the upcoming holiday season. C

Be safe. Be quiet. Good luck. I'm doing the same on Sunday. C

3" Smith and Wesson 686+ No doubt. C

So does the 6.5

I looked. Neat. I 'll take heavier bullets.

My guess is that you like it because you can use the bullets you already have on hand. Looks like a fun project. Maybe you'll let me shoot it when you're done. C

U were on the boat!! C

I'll be hunting... C

I use Lapua brass in my .308. If I decide to go the Grendel route, it's what I'll grab. Thanks for the pointers. C

^^^ Nice looking rifle! I love the handguard. Good shooting, too. C

What does it say? Looks good although to me when the flag is oriented in that direction it always looks backwards. C
