    Seecamp 1911 conversion

    Not that it’s tradition to post old-school print rag articles here, but, this is some killer gunsmithing, and some out of the box thinking from days of yore by the esteemed old German.

    L.W. Seecamp was trained as a master gunsmith in pre-WWII Germany, a grueling process that could involve having to make your own gun — barrel and all — from raw steel with a file. John Lachuk’s description of the decade or so it took Augustus Pachmayr to become a master gunsmith is enlightening, especially in our current world where melting divots in a plastic gun is considered “gunsmithing.”

    That is awesome. I would hate to think what something like that would cost today to have built.

    Not very bright but does lack ambition
    I remember reading about Seecamp’s 1911 DA conversions back in the day, but had completely forgotten about them. I’m surprised to see the 2000 made number. This is gorgeous.
