This man used to be a member of the other forum, lived around Lexington if I recall. He was old and knew his 1911s. I don't know if he is still around.
What @wvsig said, drop-in parts, aren't.
I think he is in his mid 60s. Yup.... crazy knowledge on 1911s... especially the Norincos. He has worked on a lot of them. He does a lot of work with Dog rescue in the Lexington community. Seems like a good guy. I dont know if he had/has a shop. Reading a lot of his old posts on the web it looks like he is highly respected. Some of his posts are pretty funny when people flat out start attacking him for putting out first hand experience working with 1911s......Ah the wonders of the internet. I suspect it was due to the frustration of people thinking they understand the system and then being informed of other factors that come into play.... its a psycological thing. People get all worked up when self doubt occurs and start lashing out at the messager in order to protect the ego. This happens all the time on the net and in the physical world. Its always important to keep the ego in check in order to move to the next level.
Anyways.... hopefully he still visits here and comes across this thread. I read his stuff for years over at THR. Pretty cool he lives in NC and has a passion for animal rescue.
