So a buddy of mine was given this by his old man. the receiver was completely taken apart and all the small parts were lost over time. To add insult to injury the PO tried to "Polish" the bluing off
and only got parts of it done. You can see it around the trigger well.
So now my buddy has no love for 1911s and gives two shits about this one. What he asked me for was advice. Do we put it back together to sell it. Do we sell it as is. Whats it going to take to put it back together. Whats it going to cost to just buy the parts and do it our selves vs sending it to a pro.
ive not put together a 1911 before but i think i have the skills and patience to do it. Lord knows there are plenty of tutorials out there.
So, throw me some advice that i can forward to a wayward gun owner.
