Just got my np29 back from Armco

[nza]

I had tx my norc to Gunnar about 2 months ago, in order to get the 'norc prep'. It wasn't shooting reloads HP, or WCs, and it was painted a desert ghey, and it had the usual china roughage. When I Rx, man o man, what a difference. for 200 bucks he tuned it, blasted it, and refinished it (removing the china marks leaving just the serial - I like). I took it out to the range yesterday (It has been sitting at the post office for a few weeks while I was at sea), and not a single jam, and I hit the steel chickens from the 30m line consistently. Whatever he did, has now made it my prefered gun over the glock.

I'll post pictures tonite.
I have to give armco +1 on the tune and prep. I will send my 1911's for the norc prep and tune regardless if its a norc or not. When the CF Para gets delivered, its going up to see him first.

I also have a tuned 1911 from Gunnar, it's my best shooting pistol by far. He does great work and is awesome to deal with, good honest service at a fair price!

Ditto show us this magnificent pistol!
And $200 for tune / refinish job? Wow.

Gunnar doses great work!

People who've never shot one of Gunnar's tuned Norc's think that it doesn't really make much difference - that a Norc is just a Norc. Let's hope they keep thinking that!

Are the pics on the slow boat, too?

Having an Armco/Gunnar tuned 1911 is a bonus.

I love matte finish 1911's.... [goes to my affinity for WWII USGI 1911A1's]...

You need a pair of nice wooden grips now.

Yeah, a pair of those nice dark blackwood grips that you have on your M1911 knife(s) would look really nice on the matte finish NP29 in the above pic....

NAA.
