We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
I suppose it could depend on what this guy's name is. If it was me, the gun is probably worth less now than before I put the Wilson parts in it.
If it was John Harrison, or Jason Burton, or Richard Heinie, or you plug in the name somebody that is talented enough to charge that kind of money for a 1911, it just may be worth that much to somebody.
I understand your point, and see guys on the 1911 forums all the time trying to make that claim. It just doesn't make sense. Unless you really know what you are doing, you're generally better off sticking with the factory parts that came in the gun rather than butchering it trying to get aftermarket parts to fit.
And by his word, it was made so....
Until his gun starts to choke and he takes the dremel to it. Then he has the equivalent of a Jason Burton 1911 in a 300 dollar package.
It's quite entertaining when people unwittingly document the depth and breadth of their ignorance.

I want that baby in my collection. Pronto!
I have friends/family always suggesting mods I can do to my 2004 Honda Accord that has run perfectly for 10 years. I always refuse and they're always perplexed.
"Why not?!"
