ffgats, about as nice as they come and it doesn't have a FLGR. Not having a FLGR scores points with me. Regards, Richard

Nice

However, the downside to having a dream realized is that you have to come up with a new one......

And of course you can't just have one 1911....

 

[robstar]

that's freaking sweet!!! what STI model was it built on ? I'll be going to rodger soon to mod a norc..

 

[Gibbs505]

Very nice indeed!!

 

[novan3]

If you build it, they will comment..

 

[BCRider]

That does look sweet.

And just so I can begin arranging the house mortgage funds in anticipation of my own eventual 1911 project may I inquire about the sort of budget you allocated to this bit of gun heaven?

 

[okcorral1881]

[Onagoth]

Very very nice, and impressive shooting to boot.

Congrats on the realization of your dream

Why're you shooting up Japanese flags? lol just kidding.
Nice targets... homemade. Awesome groups.

 

[dannyair]

It looks great!

 

[ffgats]

started collecting the parts when our dollar was at par with the U.S., Sent the parts to Roger last November, and received it just a day before Christmas. what a guy.

 

[misfire]

Very nice!! What grips do you have on them? Love the colour and pattern. Laminate or G10/Mircata???? Rodger does great work!!

smartbomb, if you were old like me and a "War Baby" you would understand using the "Rising Sun" as a target. I am teasing you but old wounds do take a long time to heal. Regards and best. Richard
