Wow awesome! He really does some fine work..only did you recieve the RIA lifetime warranty on the pistols he basically 'threw together'? And can you supply your own aftermarket parts, or must you choose from whatever he's got? Not opposed to a Frankenpistol either but doubt it'd come with a manufacturer warranty.

That bobtail was nice too..that's a frame thing right? Would I (or should I say he) be able to convert mine to a bobtail easily?? How far are they willing to go, within the parameters of the warranty?

Thanks as always!

You have to supply your own parts, Arnel will put them on the gun. If not then he will use stock parts for any conversions.

If you want a bobtail you would have to supply the bobtail jig and the parts.

It is not difficult for Arnel to do just about anything that you want. The only thing he can't do is any milling such as converting GI sights to Tactical sights. If it can be done with a file he can do it, including hand checkering of front straps.

I would not worry about warranty as Rock Island will cover anything they do to the gun.
