A few pics of my build
I noticed the humidity of Missouri spring season was trying to rust my bare parts even with oil on them....so I blew some paint over them until I can get back to working on it. I figured it was a nice time to throw a couple pics up of where I left off on it since you can see what it will look like black :-)
Thats not a buggered serration on the slide...I bumped some paint off when it was still soft lol

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?
