So, being a die hard 1911 whacko, I have decided to put the first project 1911, my MEUSOC RIA, what I call the MEUSOC ROCK on the back burner and do up the RIA tactical I am picking up Friday.
I am going to throw a few dollars into this gun for many reasons, one is because I can afford to since the gun was free, NIB in a trade, two because even if I did have to pay money for it, it is cheap enough so if I even put 500 into it, it will be every bit as good or better than a 1911 I paid 900 NIB for.
Seriously all I am going to do is a total refinish, and a trigger job and sights and a set of grips and magwell. Since it already has all the needed farkles on it unlike the RIA GI, it will not cost nearly as much as having to do trigger, hammer beaver tail, and sending the slide out to have good sights put on it.
Before pic gleaned off the net since mine isn't here yet.
