Montado - Munden tuned the action,opened up the rear sight channel and sighted it for Gold Dots at 15 yds; low polish gold-toned Titanium Nitride (TiN) coated pins, small parts, hammer and trigger; Reeder Doc Holiday grip frame; Ajax stags with factory emblems; 45acp and 45 colt cylinders. It will go to my DiL when they visit next month if she likes it.

The stag is dead on. Really nice upgrades.

Very nice. I love the Montados and you slicked this one up pretty well. The DIL should love it!

Looks good as far as I can tell. The pictures are too small.

The stags look great on the frame. Good job.

That's more like it, thank you. What the heck do you mean, "if she likes it"? You actually think there's a chance DIL won't like it? Wishful thinking maybe. Start building yourself another one now.
Normally I'd say no to the gold accents but in this case it works. Just proves you have to keep an open mind.
Glad to see you went with the Sambar Stag, it was worth the price.

Did Munden do the Titanium Nitride? If not, who did? Thanks in advance!

TiN was done by outfit in FL (http://www.brycoat.com), but they had to get the parts through a gunsmith (call for further info). Price was a two-fer: pay both of them! The wear resistance on moving parts was important. I also wanted the gold color (I was going for the USFA Buffalo Bill Wild West Show Gun special look). Color came out wrong for true gold, but its still pleasant to the eye in either matt (as delivered) or polished (which I was able to do with a soft cotton buffing wheel).
I also had the 45 Colt cylinder done (because I was shooting 45 Cowboy Specials in it at the time and wanted to have the tougher surface to resist a burn ring at the forward edge of the short case that would then interefer with 45 Colt extraction) and the ERH (didn't look good, too much gold tone, but that explains the ERH screw being gold).
