Well guys take a look…because when she comes back from SACS she will not look the same. Sent her out Monday I’ll get her back by late February…hopefully.
Here are some of the parts being used
Anything else being done to the gun?
Anything wrong with the current parts or is it just personal preference to change the parts?
Yes Sir…it’s getting the front 25lpi and the fbi nub slide release done,also refinishing the pistol in flat black armory coat. I also purchased the mars armament gen2 msh with the beveled sides. Should come out pretty nice…hopefully.
No Sir…nothing at all. At this point just personal preference.
Looking forward to seeing the end results!
I can see the trigger, extractor, FP stop and thumb safety, but the rest is just replacing parts with other parts that aren’t proven to be any better.
If you’re gonna pay for a trigger job and replace sear and disco, why keep the MIM hammer?
I agree for the most part, only thing I would add to that is th plunger tube. A properly installed and staked bar stock piece is better than the SA mim piece. With that said still a cool project.
Even though it wasnt mentioned maybe he’s having SACS install their tool steel delta hammer??
I apologize when I took the picture my Wilson hammer hadn’t arrived yet. That’s a good catch Samuse…good eye your right though there really is no need to change the parts at all. The gun shoots great I just wanted to have a 1911 with internal and external parts I’ve researched and wanted.
Sure thing…me too:D
Looks like you’ll have a nice piece, but did you consider just buying a slide, barrel, and frame when you’re replacing some many of the parts? Not telling you how to spend your money, but made me wonder…
I was lookin’ at the parts and thinkin about a Colt I have at Alchemy right now. All I kept was the frame, slide, MSH, springs and most of the pins.
That MC is gonna be a badass pistol!
Basically after all the math is done, for a good price on the MC Operator (or Colt Rail Gun), it’s comparably cheap to start off with that and build it part for part how one wants than starting bare frame and slide and having a smith spend the same sort of time getting it finished.
Should turn out really nice.
Sent you a PM with a question about the work order.
Today I got the call from SACS…my Operator will be home Tuesday. I gotta say I’m very happy with the turn around time.
Awesome! I have one too and want to do almost the same work. Looking forward to some pics.

It has arrived…here are some pics.
Very nicely executed. Looks like they did a nice job blending the new grip safety to the previously cut tangs. I am a sucker for a nice 1911.
Did you do anything with the barrel and bushing? Any reliability work done?
An early Christmas present, eh? Looks very nice. I did something similar to my Operator about a year and a half ago (dumped about $1200 at the SACS) and, from the looks of things, made many of the same mods. I was very pleased with the results although I have, admittedly, not had much range time with it yet.
But spring is on the way . . . my understanding is it follows winter, which should be arriving in a week or so (although the tail end of our fall has been a tad brutal). 
Here’s a rather crappy pic of mine (obviously I retained the original color):
Just in time for Christmas. Turned out nice…Cera or black T?
