Well, I sold my SA Range Officer - but couldn't get anyone to bite on my NRA Mini - so my Ed Brown will have to wait........again.
Anyhow, I just purchased (online) a 2011 Colt Series 70 repro and already have a list a mile long of things I want to do, but my money is only 1/4 mile long.
I must add a flat MSH and beavertail safety. I want Novak NS, 25 lpi FSC, a long trigger, a new hammer and the whole thing dehorned. Also like to remove any MIM parts (please no MIM discussion!) on the gun; I think the sear, mag catch and disconnector are MIM.
Anybody here have one of these "100 years of service" S70 repro guns, and would it be best to send it to Colt's custom shop when I have the $ for everything to be done at once? Or are there better (and cheaper) custom shops out there? I have always used my local 'smith or SA's custom shop, so I need a little direction. And before anyone asks, I bought this as a base gun......just not sure who to turn it over to.
