A few pictures of the tri-topping. First picture is getting the slide indicated correctly, the second picture shows an initial cut to ensure that the indicating went well, and the last picture was taken after the final, clean-up pass.
Thank you!

Starting another full 1911 build for a gentlemen. Certain parts are chosen by the future owner for their particular style, such as the flat trigger and slightly retro hammer. The rest are from a short list of high quality components. Nearly every part will need to be either machined or hand...
Thank you Churchmouse! I probably view more pictures like this and machine setups than any guy on the internet... Being a huge fan of all things firearms related, this is just another aspect of it.

Had to replace a front sight for a iron sighted Bianchi 1911. Owner wanted a .075" wide front sight. It was quicker to make one than order one.
Thank you!

"Racing Stripes" have been added to the flat top. The look even better once they are finished. The variation of the widths in between the sets of lines is more pronounced after finishing.
Thank you!

I had this gun in the shop a few weeks ago and replaced all of the fire control parts. All of the parts were properly prepped and a really nice, 2-pound trigger was the result. Owner of the Range Officer decided to add some customization and brought the pistol back to be machined.
First step...
