I didn't know you could make stainless that shiney. Very sharp looking.

That gun is crying out for a BBQ. Shiny guns are nice.

I think that is factory. At one time Springfield offered a shiny gun like that.

See my general area post for more details on the polish. GI models do not come in bright stainless. this is the gun when new...

You are correct. I just looked at the photo and didn't read the post. However, Springfield did and still does list a shiny nickel gun. The Mil-Spec in .38 super comes in nickel.

What part of the country do you live? I'm in DFW... I'd be interested in this pistol.

I'm also interested. How long is the barrel?
Also, where are you located? If near Houston area, I may be interested in an in-person transfer.
