Blonde wood!<BR/><BR/>Replaced ejector/bolt stop with one not worn to a nub.<BR/><BR/>Replaced all springs.<BR/><BR/>Replaced Mil-spec sights with Mojo peeps.<BR/><BR/>Stripped barrel and action, polished and deburred and then cold reblued with Oxpho. The glossy blue may not look original, but it is quite handsome, and I swear it's harder to damage than the factory bluing I have on my hunting guns.<BR/><BR/>Replaced Front band with one that has under-barrel swivel, so I can use a mil-spec sling for shooting, modified band spring from G98 to fit.<BR/><BR/>Future mods will likely include a new trigger, modified 20rnd magazine with spacer, and a new follower to push up the next round just a bit more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1130260086843259252005-10-25T13:08:00.000-04:002005-10-25T13:08:00.000-04:00Sweeeeet Colt!Sweeeeet Colt!NotClauswitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358707844087117280noreply@blogger.com
