Thanks folks. I had planned on changing out most of the black parts like the mainspring housing, grip safety, hammer and safety to stainless steel as well. But now I'm not so sure. I like the blend of the black and stainless now that I've changed the grips. Either way I will be adding a magwell. But first a trigger job. The triggers not bad for a stock trigger, but I'm jealous of the trigger on my Dad's series 70 which he had work done to. Amazing is the word.

Changing to what?

The contrast between the black and silver looks good I reckon. Boring in all silver.

Not that my opinion matters for you guns of course :mrgreen:

Was going to install a Wilson Combat main spring housing\magwell and Ed Brown beavertail safety in stainless and other bits. But again, now I'm not so sure.

Would problem look fine, just different though I reckon. No better.

Like it with what you've done already :D
