That's a beauty! What about a commemorative medallion in the grip? I have a real one that I built close to 30 years ago. Shoots like crazy!

Thumbs up Wow!!!!

Nothing you work is beautiful! I have a friend who used to have a "51". He let me fire it a couple of times, very cool! Please tell me you will at least release the pistol here on the forum. I would absolutely love to build your model! Keep up the astounding work. You have inspired me to at least learn Meta so I can design and contribute here.

Thank You,

Todd
