Here's what I'm talking about. "If" I were to restraw the trigger, I'd do the mag latch, take down lever and the ejector as well.


Its a pretty rough piece, though its condition has grown on me, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I am starting to think about spraying it with either a two tone, black on gray, or black on O.D. green Norrell's moly-resin refinish, with the straw colored parts retained.

It's a shooter, and there is some pitting on the frame that I don't think would look very good under a new blue job, so that's why I'm toying with the Moly-resin approach. Cheap. Cheap and durable. I've done a number of AR-15's, a Savage 110, and a shooter 1903A1 Springfield with that stuff, and am very happy with it.
Here's the pistol showing the miscolored, mismatched parts currently on it:

I may not do a lot more than just replace the trigger, as the more I handle it, the more I'm really coming to like the old patina.
