[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 1920042, member: 14520"] I've seen some picks of DBG's work; it's good as you know. The basic pistol you started with is really inexpensive...very good but inexpensive. The parts put into the pistol would retail for around $500. If DBG did all the work his time would be worth at least that much again. So, your setting with A $600 pistol that contains $500 worth of after market parts and $500 labor. A total of $1,600...assuming it's all stainless and did not required refinishing. Now the problem. No offense but it is not a Colt. Even though the Springfield is probably the best slide & frame on the general market now it just doesn't command the same stock of custom resale value of a Colt. $1000 would be a steel for the pistol, $1,200 would be a good deal and if someone offered you anything at or above $1,400 that would be a good deal for you. Now, why sell it. It's probably a fantastic pistol and you own it already. [/QUOTE]
