August 23, 2015 Update

Got the rust blued '06 frame back from C. Danner, a couple pictures are below after I strawed the small parts today and got it back together. I let the mag release get too hot and it ran to blue, so when motivated, I'll do it over.

Danner's rust blue is nearly an exact match for the original blue as seen on the original upper and original finish grip safety.

That ugly side plate is an original number "11"; some day I may work on it to remove pits and have Danner re-blue it, again.

I do need to find a commercial take down lever, #11 would be nice.

So, it is finished for now. Will fire it again tomorrow and expect it to do as well as it did before,
which is to say no "problems" at all.

It is a cool shooter,
and doesn't look bad at all from 5 feet away!

Pictures from today and three from the "original" condition.
