Now that's one fine mega-billboard rollmarked 1991. Who did the work, and what finish?

Looks great! I've been waiting to see that one. Did they do any internal work? And now that she's all fancied up, what are you going to do - shoot it? Carry it? Leave it in the safe and take it out to fondle gently every now and again? I vote for shooting and carrying.

Thanks, they replaced the plastic trigger and MSH.

I have another Colt to carry and beat on.
