A few years ago I posted a thread here about a 1911 Colt. I'm still trying to shoot better, but I get worse results with this Colt than from any other gun I've shot. I tried a relative's Wilson, and got results that were great, for me at least. Anyway, the old discussion is at:

Years ago, when I found out how much work the gun might need to get it fixed properly, I thought a better option might be to get a new gun instead. Then I stopped shooting the 1911, and went back to revolvers.
Anyway, here's my question today. If I ship the gun off to Colt, and ask them to make capable of getting results similar to a gun that's gone through their custom shop, is this something that they are capable of doing? The only purpose for this gun is target shooting at the local range, not self defense.
(To me, this is sort of like photography - you don't get better photographs by buying a better camera - you get better photographs by learning to be a better photographer. But, no matter how good a photographer you are, you'll never get good photos from a camera that has problems.)
If the answer to this question is "yes", are there any restrictions for how I can ship the gun to and from Colt? Can I box it up and ship via Federal Express, explaining what it is, and insuring it? Will Colt be able to ship it back to me the same way?
