Mike's Super Commander -- Pics

Well, I don't see a whole lot wrong with your photography.

Really nice-looking gun. Really. (Too bad it isn't in a manly caliber. )

If God didn't want us to own guns, why did He make the 1911?

Scott,
Good lookin' gun! Hurry up and send it to Mikey, so I can see it
I feel your pain in regards to taking a pic that looks like to want it to. Some of these guys must have a little mini studio set up in their shop. Your pics look very good, but I bet you took a bunch to get these "keepers".
Regards,
John

Thanks for all the kind words. You guys should really go a little easier on Mike. How many guys would let you take thier new gun to a match and let every body else shoot it before you even held it.

Here you go Bill

Wow very nice.....and in .50BMG...who said it wasn't in a manly caliber ?

Ned,
Just goes to show you cain't teach an old dog new tricks. I have not dealt with that company in years, and would not even if my only option was K-Mart spray paint. Poor quality, dinged checkering, very poor response to problems with their work.

Scott,
Very, very nice work! I too would like to know who did the anodizing and bluing.

Pick any two.

Yes, but I hesitate to go through all that, and the blems are actual pits, like something kinda blew out of the frame material, trapped gas or something. They are showing some interest in making it right and I feel I need to give them every chance to do so-- but it is a heartbreaker to put all into a gun and have it come back that way. I sent it back down for the guy to get a look at, not necessarily to redo. If he can convince me that he can do it over and make it look better at no risk, I might let him do it. But they are pits-- metal is gone. I have to admit, when I first opened the box they seemed huge-- now they seem smaller-- a change in my perception as the shock and dismay wear off, I guess. I sent another job down with it to see how they do. I have not had bad luck with them before, but don't have oodles of experience with them either. Like you, Scott, I have a local guy who does most of my chrome, not a guy who is interested in doing other gun work, but he does it for me. I had a local guy who did great blueing and was close enough for comfort, but Agent Orange took him (I think). Had another, retired local gunsmith who used to fire up the blueing tanks just for me but now he's really retired. I do have a local anodizer who said he'd do my guns but I haven't had a chance to test him on something... less important (like for myself).

I got the missing parts back today-- the sear pin was.... not a sear pin, the mnspg hsg retaining pin was somebody else's. I don't care about the pins-- the most important part, the T-slotted-in feedramp insert came back, praise Allah!
