Here is my Colt that Ted worked on when he was at the Gunsmithery in summer of 94’; sent a baseline Colt to him a few months before I arrived for my 250 class in Paulden. Also some pics of the catalog with the options for the various pistols/service offered.

I wonder if anyone has looked into doing a coffee table book of Gunsite guns.

Yes, and my vote also not to refinish. Edit: oops, irrelevant now.
I've flat MSHs on two guns I had Dave Sams move from medium triggers to short triggers because I always liked short triggers on my A1 configured guns with the curved MSH. Now after a year of wondering why I shoot the medium triggered LB Operator (also a flat MSH) consistently tighter than the more mechanically precise Sams guns I think medium trigger is better for me if I'm going to have a flat MSH. Expensive oops.

Live and learn. Feel the same way about not having night sights on my 1911.. going to be a pricey send back to wilson. Have to get another extractor and firing pin stop fit also, so it doesn't matter.Yes, and my vote also not to refinish. Edit: oops, irrelevant now.
