I agree that it isn’t as necessary as it used to be and that it’s all about the TJIAB these days. But I’ve had SA do the Carry Action Job without an SRT upgrade. And then the same on a gun that already had the SRT installed from factory (so I’d still count it as him not replacing anything). The only thing I haven’t tried from him is the QTR.

Grip tape here, extended magazine base plate there, grip swap, professionally done action work. By and large I don’t do stuff that can’t be easily reversed. Rather than drill and tap a shotgun receiver I’m seriously considering buying a new gun that has already been altered, foolish isn’t it. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

I modify somethings on firearms, most often I'm repairing/replacing old springs/etc. Other than straight replacement, mostly I upgrade/change triggers, add/replace night sights, add optics and change furniture. I haven't refinished anything but CCR makes me want to looking at their work. | |||

I change grips. On a 1911 I add a beavertail if it doesn’t have one. I change sights to tritium for EDC if needed. In the past I polished internals and changed springs on a BUG when I was a cop. Few factory guns won’t get some kind of tinkering, my glocks got internals polished to better the trigger.

My long guns get more mods than pistols. My 'ole Ruger MkII has tons of mods. My Glock 20 has a 9X25 Dillon barrel conversion and will have a couple of extended pieces and basic connector. Ruger MkII Glock 20 This message has been edited. Last edited by: WERA49, Rob NRA Life Member | |||

I build or change out grips on my revolvers, building the ones on my Ruger single actions, and with one exception, buying ones to improve the feel of my S&W's. Recently I bought a Colt King Cobra .22 target, that had Colt's cheapened rear sight on it. I also didn't like the fiber optic front. I replaced both with Wilson Combat's answer. I especially like the gold dot front. With automatics, my tinkering is usually limited to sight changes...especially with Sigs as I don't like the sight picture that's the factory standard as it covers the POI in my hands. I like the POI at the very tip top of the front sight at ~25 yds, as opposed to covering the intended POI with the front sight dot. With two Glocks I tried a different connector and smoothed out the mechanical inards in a vain attempt to improve their miserable triggers.
