    Custom Refinish - Colt Royal Blue

    cheap gun, pretty finish

    took 8 months to get it back

    Dolling up a M1991A1 is akin to making a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but it was all I could afford at the time.

    Hey, why not? I've done crazier things in my life.

    Mein Gott, what a beautiful gorgeous thing that it.

    That would be the perfect home for one of them GB Greg wide spur hammers I love so much.

    That turned out gorgeous. I don't think that's crazy at all.

    Takes my breath away.

                That's a fine looking pistol doc540
                I picked up a slightly beat up 1991 recently and plan to refinish it this coming week. I'm leaning towards parkerizing at the moment, but doing a rust blue is still a consideration.

                  Nothing to be ashamed about there. It's a fine piece made even finer. Beautiful job.

                      I'm changing strategy, it's a sows ear! What a pig, I'll give you a hundred bucks you cover shipping.

                      Note to Santa, I've been good.

                          Can I take that as a strong maybe, or perhaps I'm thinking about it?

                            Beautiful bluing job! Might I ask what such a procedure had cost you? You can PM me if you don't want to put it out in the public. And would Colt consider doing something other than a Colt?

                              Not sure about what they will or won't do, but I know Ford refinishing can do anything and just a well. http://www.fordsguns.com/

                              CS prices are on the website. They swapped out the plastic trigger and MSH, so the total with shipping to my FFL was about $425.
