    Even more importantly, he rescued a piece of America that would have ended up in a scrap pile and turned it into a totally drool-worthy class act.

    When you spend twice the cost of the donor gun on gunsmithing you must have a clear understanding of the work required and what professional quality work really costs.

    Sandy and I had this discussion early-on. I am very pleased with the result. Leaving the gun in its original..455 chambering is absolutely NO issue because the combat performance of the .455"load is quite well established and I carry no fantasy expectations for improved performance by using more modern loads.

    Lots of Wogs and Germans would testify to that, if they hadn't been shot dead.
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    The Colt New Service remained in service with the RCMP into the 1950s. Beautiful gun with great history.
