• Re-fit beavertail

o Blend frame with top of beavertail in disengaged position
o Blend frame with sides of beavertail in engaged position
o Re-contour top/back of beavertail for slightly smaller profile
• Fit thumb safety
o I dropped in Colt factory safety with no fitting
• Fit new fire-control group
o Ed Brown short trigger
o Blue Force hammer/sear/disconnector and strut
o Fit for 4 pound pull with over-travel and take-up set to minimum (but enough play for 100% reliability)
• Fit barrel and bushing
o Storm Lake machine barrel
o Wilson bushing
o Throat for 100% reliability, including hollowpoints
o Fit bushing finger tight

o Ed Brown Harcore
o Ensure locks back on empty mag
o Dimple so doesn’t lock back when shouldn’t
• Fit magazine release
o Wilson Tactical
• Install new pins
o EGW pin set
• Flare ejection port (probably low enough already)
• Stake ejector (if not already done)
• Stake plunger tube (if not already done)
• High cut front strap
• Fix checkering ding (if even possible)
• Go through inside of gun carefully to ensure reliability/long life
o Check extractor, polish/fit/bevel/etc anything that needs it so the gun works and doesn’t beat itself to death, etc.
• Bevel/open magazine well as much as possible
• Bevel/break all sharp edges on outside of gun
• Fit sights
o Heine rear
o .110’’ dovetail serrated post front with roll pin
