Whats wrong with it, besides being made in Brazil?

Giantspeed · September 25, 2018, 8:28pm

It’s a Taurus that speaks for itself
The owner initially wanted just a polishing
Now it’s going to be rebuilt

Giantspeed · September 25, 2018, 9:07pm

Finished a rebuild on this one last night

JF89 · September 25, 2018, 9:31pm

Is that a Taurus?

Giantspeed · September 25, 2018, 9:37pm

No lol

JF89 · September 25, 2018, 9:37pm

Looks nice.

Giantspeed · September 25, 2018, 9:42pm

Thanks
It was a gi issue
I had to radius the frame tang and blend the grip saftey
And generally fit every new part

It might sound blasphemous but I think 1911s look alot better with no front slide serrations.

Giantspeed · September 25, 2018, 9:56pm

I like both
I guess it’s just the way there done for me
Sometimes they look tacky

Giantspeed · September 26, 2018, 3:59pm

Getting there

Giantspeed · September 26, 2018, 10:06pm

She came out mighty fine

Polishing a turd you call it.
Came out real nice.
I sure wouldn’t mind carrying that turd.

JF89 · September 26, 2018, 11:40pm

That turd is nicer than my current handguns

15 hours over 2 days for a 100 bucks
Guys lucky he’s like my kid
I think he wanted a mirror shine but I’m not spending a week doing that for a 100 bucks
