Here are just a few quick pics of the Delta's I just finished up. More pics on the way, and will be added to the website soon. I am figuring out the web builder program, and will be going to the webmaster's house to take "ownership" of the domain soon, so keep in touch and keep checking the website for a new setup soon. Thanks, Bob Enjoy. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n32/millercustom/delta52.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n32/millercustom/delta122.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n32/millercustom/delta152.jpg |

Unfortunatly, those don't belong to me. They have found their way back to their owner in Nevada, good for him, sad on my part...I was growing quite fond of them. I don't want to steal too much of his thunder, so I will let him post more pictures and tell you all about them since they belong to him. Thanks for looking, Bob |

“Ebony and Ivory” We started this project out with the Blue Delta and shortly after I was able to find a SS one and asked Bob what he thought about doing a pair. He was up for the challenge and after significant pleadings with the “better half” here is the end result. The idea came together to make “reverse twins” and I think they turned out great. Bob’s attention to detail and workmanship are outstanding and plus he is just a real “swell” guy in the best sense of the word. Alright enough about that, here is what was done to the best of my recollection: Novak Bar-Dot rear sight Custom made hand serrated front sight with insert done at tool tech Flat top and “reverse” diamond serrate top of slide Ball Cuts in the Slide Kreiger Accu-Rails High polish Flats (555) on the blue Delta and (500) on the SS one Replace all parts with tool steel parts and fire control parts replaces with C&S Trigger is beauuuuuuutiful and right where I like them at 4 lb Kart Match barrel and bushing Full length 2-piece guide rod Brown GS Perfect 30 lpi checkering on FS and MSH Heinie Magwells Custom fit grips “Ebony and Ivory” (by Bob) – no easy task I assure you There is more but that is all I can think of now. I will edit as I remember things. Not sure what else to say. They speak for themselves! http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/stormy1911/Miller%20Delta/IMG_0003.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/stormy1911/Miller%20Delta/IMG_0001.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/stormy1911/Miller%20Delta/IMG_0006-b.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/stormy1911/Miller%20Delta/IMG_0012-b.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/stormy1911/Miller%20Delta/IMG_0013-b.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/stormy1911/Miller%20Delta/IMG_0014-b.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/stormy1911/Miller%20Delta/IMG_0015.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/stormy1911/Miller%20Delta/IMG_0017.jpg The blotch below the sight here is a Cloud :shock: how is that for polish! Keep in mind these targets were for grouping only not for POA/POI which is dead on BTW! http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/stormy1911/Miller%20Delta/IMG_0004-1.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/stormy1911/Miller%20Delta/IMG_0005-1.jpg |
FANTASTIC.I dig the topstrap detail lines.also the DT front site.however it is my opinion the white (i vory) stocks should be on the SS and the black(ebony) on the royal blue.   could live without the mag well funnel treatment.i like my 1911s box stock as in colt factory!

Steve S. I accidently deleted all of the emails you sent. I wanted to keep the ones regarding the pistol work but I got trigger happy. My apologies, can you possibly send me another email so I can get busy on the quote? I hope you read this, I'll be posting this over other forums. Take care, thanks for all the kind words, and thanks for looking. Bob |

Thanks again for all the kind words. I should have a few pictures of the Titanium bobtail build I am finishing up at the moment too. The customer went with a tritium sight package, hard chrome upper end and a Teflon coated bottom end. 25 LPI checkering and the Doug Koenig hammer and sear setup. It is looking sweet and should be a good shooter when I'm finished with it. I'll post pictures of the pistol and the test target when complete. Take care, Bob |
They're not speaking for themselves; they're shouting! If they shoot and feel as good as they look, sweet! Wow! Congrats on the twins, and a hearty kudos to the Miller shop; they look to have done a damn fine work of art there! |
