Very nice, Arny.

I so very badly miss my .45 whenever I see the nice ones you put together.

that is the best looking .45 I've ever seen, can you give me a price breakdown of all those parts?

How much did that all cost? Im thinking of making one myself for my next project. Just want to know how much so i can start figuring out what to do...

I love the grips - they have that "honeycomb" look.

And I must agree, this pistol looks very nice - it even LOOKS heavy.

i've always liked kimber pistols for looks and functionality.

hawt... an absolute beauty!

Looking like a 1911 should! Kick ass Kimber.Nice to see some real Simonich grips. Once again you raised the bar man. :cheers:

Base gun - depends where u get it, stock gun usually goes up to $430, i got a nice deal from JAVP (without mag)
Prime Kimber set - $460 (im sorry to say, but its almost not worth it, u can buy another gun!)
SD 150% recoil & hammer spring - $15
SD steel chamber cover (kimber marsoc style) - $55
Guarder steel outer barrel - $25
CP custom kimber styled hammer & sear - $45
CP trigger - from my toolbox
Sheriff magwell - was lying in my toolbox, retails $98USD @ WGC
Sheriff grip screws - $10
Simonich Black gunner grips - $70
Some of my stuff in my toolbox in order to convert from double stacked Expert to a single stacked pistol - priceless :cheers:

Wow, I have a soft spot for kimbers after I did some range shooting with a real Kimber custom II. Amazing handguns. Nice work.

why do you say it's not worth the money?
I have two full metal 1911 and would not trade them any amount of plastic gun. It's just not the same thing.

Arny, how I envy your magnificent FMU WA collection!!!
