Default Custom Commander

I bought a new American Classic Commander a while back to use as a platform for customization for a gunsmith friend. I had problems right out of the box and had to send it in for warranty work, but after it got back I sent it off to be customized and tuned. Along with mechanical upgrades, I had all the rollmarks removed and the whole gun reblued and high polished. I'm very happy with the results and it got a lot of looks while on display at the last gum show.

Thanks fellas. I just finished up a new set of grips to go on it today. I'll get some new pictures when they're done.
