My just completed Jim Hoag Colt
Attachment 302850
Attachment 302852 Attachment 302854 Attachment 302855I just picked this up from Jim last week. It works great and looks pretty good to me. I gave him a well used pre series 80commander. It had previously been "customized" by a unknown smith. This is what came back. I wish I had taken some pics before. There just is no comparison. Last edited by phil conrad; 03-14-2014 at 2:01 PM.. |

Yes I would like to know also how long he took as well.

He fit A Kart barrel and bushing, checkered it, Refinished it, installed a Novak rear sight, his own front sight and beaver tail. He also did a trigger job and lowered and flared the ejection port. He also had to weld up some of the other "smiths" attempt at notching the trigger guard. He had it for about 3 months.

What did he end up doing? Did he do the checkering, finish, beavertail fit???

His reliability packages remain legendary, in addition to his hard-fitment of various components. Oddly enough, he just hand-checkered a MSH for my brother in 30LPI recently, and it was flawless.
I still feel fortunate to have him locally. |

Glad to hear Jim is still working. He worked on a Colt of mine about 3-4 years ago and that guy is a fossil. Did great work for me though.
Jim fitted a Kings ported barrel, ECW bushing, lowered and flared the ejection port, throated/ramped barrel, new safety, S&A mainspring housing w/ magwell, and parked the whole gun. She is a shooter! Last edited by dogcatcher; 02-19-2014 at 8:10 PM.. |
