Thanks DB Here's whats in it so far:
1991-A1 Commander slide and barrel
Foster officer reciever
Walnut thin grips by Cap
Colt thumb and grip safeties and hammer strut
Ed Brown Hardcore extractor, hammer, and firing pin
Ed Brown Perfection sear and disco
Greider slide stop
EGW oversize firing pin stop and pin kit
Harrison Design medium trigger
All Wolff springs:23 mianspring and 18 recoil
have an Ed Brown perfection ejector, but may go with an EGW
the barrel-bushing, msh, mag release, and plug are just old junker parts...they will be replaced before its all sent off for a finish.

I'll do a complete build thread once Im finished; I have lots of pics

Do you plan on just painting it or going with a metal treatment when its all finished? Looks good so far.

Since it will be my primary carry 1911, Im thinking it will get a treatment for durability and corrosion resistance. I may give that Atranite a try. The barrel isnt stainless, but might have it hard-chromed just to break things up.

Atranite is one I haven't heard of. Guessing that it is a treatment?

Yes, its essentially the same type of treatment Coal Creek Armory calls Isonite QPQ and DW calls Duty Treatment. Also is known as melonite too.

I think it's a Nitrite bath treatment lol (chemistry is not my strong suit lol).

My chemistry stinks too.....but it sounds like that treatment should treat you right.
