I initially grabbed this early S/N, Ed Brown SF from a fellow Addict in Gen 1 Finish, but unfortunately the Plunger Tube popped loose upon receipt (not his fault of, course).

Figured while it was out for warranty work, might as well get some light customization done.

Turn around time was FAST. About 2 1/2 weeks from ship to the return home.

After about 4 1/2 hours of scrubbing all the residual Salt Bluing rust residue off (yes, EB left it on/it was pretty bad), underneath, I must say was a very nice, very uniformed blackish blue finish. Only thing I would have done differently was added some ball cuts and get the flats polished.

Overall, I'm pretty damn happy with the work and upgrades:

-Refinish Complete 1911, Blue
-Flatten/Serrate Top
-New Ambi-Thumb Safety fitted/Installed
-Extended Mag Release
-HRT Cut
-Solid Long Trigger
-Tactical Edge .140 U-Notch Rear Sight
-Crown & Recess barrel
-HFG Cocobolo Grips
-Wilson Combat Blued Slotted Grip Screws
