Bob, that was one of the biggest disappointments of my life (up to then). It had micrometer rear sight (modeled after the Bo-Mar) sunk/low mounted in the slide; Gold-Cup style front sight; skeletonized trigger; and a nice satin finish on all surfaces except the flats/sides. They were 'brushed'. I used LSA on it, and it functioned fine...except for that chamber...

I should have kept it and worked on it, but like I said, I was disappointed...

(There is a long angry story about how I ended up with that AMT 45, but now is not the time for that)...
