45 KIT GUN and WWI Carbonia Repo from Tulsa

Nice!!
Have you posted about your .38 Kit ?
Would love to see pic's of it as well.

That is a beautiful Giles built kit gun! Do you have the original numbered mag to go with it?
At first glance I knew that was a Giles sight as I have a "hardball" commercial 1911 built by him from 1967. I also have a .45 kit gun (012XX B) that is still in the box and has never been built. The slide will only go on the frame about 3/4 of the way so it needs to be hand lapped and fit. I shoot bullseye with a Clark .45 but can't bring my self to have the kit gun finished out.
Thank you for sharing;
Mike

Very nice scores! The roll marks on the O1911 seem to be done properly with the raised edges stoned off. Wish that was standard practice.

Mike The mag has a 2 on it and that is all I can find......it definitely looks worked on or tuned up.....RR

This is how Giles marked a "hardball" mag. Only one was supplied with the gun. N I stands for National Individual, a term from the DCM matches. "Softball" guns were supplied with 2 mags marked "1" and "2".

The Bullet Hole gun shop is still open in Sarasota. Recently moved from the location on the receipt though. The old shop was always fun to stop by. Was loaded with vintage stuff.

Mike Anderson,
Are you able to post some pic's of your .45 Kit? I'm quite sure most here have never seen one unbuilt in the box (including myself).

Here you go...........
