Good morning to you as well! This is the first message I'm seeing from you. If you sent it as a visitor message, you can see them all here, and I didn't receive one. If you sent it as a PM, I just checked my inbox for the last week, and nothing there as well. Don't know what happened, and, of course not, I'm not offended in the least. I'll PM you just now.
Don't know how I missed your sweet message Pri! :oops:

Always a pleasure to see you about! :wub: Hope all is well in your neck of the woods :D

Hugs & Kisses :D
Good morning! I sent a couple messages and didn't see a response from you. Maybe I am just paranoid, but did I do something to offend? I know the world does not revolve around me but sometimes I just forget!
I noticed in a thread that you said you were Mankos' son. Is there a way to get one of his mods from here?
Are you a real 1911 builder, as in Colt? Because I was a gunsmith for many years, and competed regionally back in the day. Been twenty-five years ago, now. This was back at the end of the 45 custom days, and built plenty of competition rigs in 45. How about you?
"Back in the day"... seems like both of us are a bit back in the day. I remember the early days... I grew up in SoCal, so had a bit of involvement in the early days of IPSC. Not going back as far as Cooper and the Bear Valley shoots, but the early 70s when I was still in high school and we had a shooting club. Ha ha ha... a high school shooting club, in California no less. Not likely today huh?

Are you still involved at all with custom work, or like me and just tinker now and again?

As you were, so was I. ;)

I got back into it temporarily while mending from colon cancer, but doubt I'll continue. The business has changed... both gunsmiths and customers can be very, ah... unruly.
The 1911 business was really more a side business, and to be honest I should have used something else for a user name as it's not very representative of my current status... which is not doing much of anything at the moment.

The longest career I've ever had was for 11 years as a technical instructor with Harley-Davidson. But I've not done that since 2003. I got back into dirt and adventure bikes, but the aftermath of cancer has kept me off a bike for over 2 years now.

I'm not even sure that I could say for certain where I'm at or where I'm going... so I'll just say that I'm in a state of "transition".

Your inquiry has actually prompted me to take a second look at my "profile". I think I'll update it to represent the now rather than the past.

Cheers,
Chris

My pleasure... and same to ya'. Lots of folks who don't know what they're about, but you ain't one of them.

Cheers,

Thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad you have learned something from my posts. We are all here to help each other, so if you ever have a question feel free to ask. And if for some ridiculous reason you think your question is too "stupid" to post, send me a PM.
