Nice gun....anyone wanna take a stab at what that all cost? I'd say upwards of $4k.....
Not a fan of the BHP cut to the slide though... Or the top dimple job.

I'm liking the burnt bronze colour. Nice gun.

That's the work of an artist.

Like to know what was done for the grip bushings , want to change mine.

wish there were smiths that talented her. Maybe there are, but I don't know of them. I have looked into trying to send a pistol to Chuck Rogers, trying to iron out the paperwork.

I guess it shows what one could do, but with a skies the limit budget why start with a norc?

Other than as a Cinderella project

Ah, first step. Was wondering how the heck they got a norinco to fit so tightly.

 

[Chefhunter]

when Wilson was doing custom pistols before he started making his own forged frames, he would only work with 3 1911's. They were Colt, Springfield, and Norinco.

Pretty clean look'n pistol.

I like the top and bottom bevel on the slide. Looks easy too as far as work if you don't "Hi-Power" the front section.
Nice pick on the sights too.

The builder is obviously not ashamed of the pistols birth place otherwise he would have simply removed the roll marks.

 

[raks]

Super duper love the hi-power cuts and the slide contours.

 

[Waynetheman]

Lol well you guys can think of buying a norinco as 80% forgings rather than complete pistols if that helps.

 

[Kevin M.]

Slick looking gun, turned out very nicely.

Why change the bushings? - the internal threads are kosher, it's the outside threads that aren't. In other words, any grip screw will work, if you want to use 'thin' grips with short screws, simply have the existing bushings shortened.

Looks very nice indeed..
