[ARCHIVED THREAD] - New old Valor

As a follow-up to this thread:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_5_49/125501_Looking_for_opinions_on_value.html

and a not so good picture

Found a good deal on this used one a few weeks ago. I sent it up to Alchemy Custom for a couple minor tweaks.
Short Harrison trigger
Contoured and beveled the edge of the thumb safety.
Cleaned up the BT fit
I am happy that I picked it up, and an interesting tid bit, for myself at least, is that it is the 5th one made during the 2010 run

I like it, and I'm not one for custom work.

I had to get the thumb safety beveled because it was digging into my thumb, but the BT massaging was purely for aesthetics.

How does it shoot? I have Kimbers, Colt, SA and the Valor is in a league of it's own.

It shoots nice.
I only had 250 rounds to try on this first range trip, and it was mostly ball ammo. WWB, S&B, and 50 rounds of Wolf steel cased.
I had a 1 mag of Rem. golden sabers and they shot fine, but clearly not enough to make any judgements on.
