Looks really good! Gone is the billboard.

What's it run for the mods?

I purchased the safety for $25 I think.  The grips were $40.  I sent the gun off to a Smith in Texas, He Coated it with return shipping for $175.  He fitted the safety and replaced the MSH no charge.  I had my choice of Arched or flat MSH, never fired an Arched before, figured I give it a try.

Now all I have to do is Wait for Armscor to call me when the new barrels come in and I should be all set.

Very nice looking job.

I love the blacked out look and the missing bill board.  This is exactly what I would do first thing if I purchased one.

[Harleycolt]

That's sweet

[pacapcop]

Sharp looker.

Very nice!

Beautiful gun    How did you suppress/remove/mill those gigantic billboard roll-marks?

[sqlbullet]

I am pretty sure the roll marks are still there.  Just with the cerakote they don't show up in the picture.

Correct

[Papajohn]

I've had a couple of the RIA guns in 45, the rollmarks were the wimpiest, faintest things I'd ever seen.  It wouldn't take much to fill one in!

My G20 and my 2 RIA 10mm's are still competing as which one can fling the brass farthest away from me. No clear winner yet
