Default Colt 1911 Restored

Here is a Colt 1911 that I restored. It was found in an old house by a contractor.

A fitting resurrection for a fine old "War Horse".

Nice job JJ. I love the old 1911's. My oldest is a WWII Remington gun that shoots as straight as any of my National Match models. It's the only one I ever shoot anymore.
