I'm starting a progress pic thread for my project 1911. Nothing really exotic, I'm just following along the 10-8 Performance duty tune DVD. I also only have basic hand tools (I literally have 3 files and sandpaper) and no dremel so some work is gonna be farmed out. I'm also just a hobbyist so don't use this as a guide or anything; I'm just posting stuff here to document my progress.
My base gun is a Springfield Mil-Spec 1911. I'm planning on replacing most of the parts with barstock Wilson Combat, EGW, and 10-8 parts but I'll also be throwing on a Colt rat tail grip safety for a nice retro look that *conveniently* lets me not have to file the tangs to fit a modern beavertail. Anyway, follow along for the ride and we'll learn together!
