Springfield Mil Spec turned Blue....Pics

[Greg Derr]

This started as a Parkerized Springfield Armory Mil-Spec. The father and sons shooters who will share this gun wanted one for all forms of bullseye shooting. Wadcutter and Hardball. The gun had to meet CMP regulations for hardball, thus there are few add ons. The frame was checkered 25lpi and a new MSH without the ILS was matched. A Kart National Match barrel was fit after the slide and frame were welded and recut. The sear is a Warner True radius and the long spur hammer is Cylinder and Slide set up with a crisp 4# break. A new Greider trigger was also installed. The gun tested sub two inches for wadcutter and sub three inches for 230gr. ball ammo. The finish is blue, very similar to WWi with the rounds lightly polished. The grips which must not exceed 1.3 inches when on the gun are by John Hoskins in Texas. Hope they both make "Master" with it.
