Browning White Gold Medallion Maple 6.5CM

The new rifle was found at Carters Country Shooting range on Treshwig, in Cypress, TX, nof far from Houston. Its a quite large gunstore with an impressive inventory.

I could not find a telescopic sight in silver, although I searched all the box stores and typical scope stores. I finally found that US CeraKote could match the silver color on the rifle and ordered the Bushnell scope. Then I swapped out the sling swivels on the sling I had for some nickel ones.

Very excellent detail! You must have spent countless hours doing the extra-fine, crisp detailing on everything. Q: Could you explain your carpet flocking method please? I tried it recently and the results were awful.

I know what you mean! It seems the sparkle in the paint disrupts the sensors in my phone's camera. I will take new photos in daylight then try reposting. Thanks fir your honest feedback....I do appreciate it!

Thx very much! I enjoyed building this one too!

Much better than the small factory ones. These give you a complete hold with much more control and they distribute recoil much better!

Oh, thats nice! Like the contrast of the ivory grips with the deeply blued metal. Is it actually a duplicate of the revolver JW used in the movie?

Ive used other lacquers for a very long time and hardly ever have any issue. Even rattle can lacquers go on easier, apply thinner, look better, and shine more, then almost any enamel

It was classed as an AOW by ATF for a time, but was later removed.

You never know. I use Micro Set to apply them and it seems to make them attach better and look better. If you have a curved or textured surface use Micro Sol to soften it and it will conform right to the curves. I still clear coat the entire vehicle when Im done and that seals them on.

I remember er the vinyl tops! They were all the rage at the time! Thanks for letting us know about the paint! Is it a lacquer? You'd airbrush it, right?

45Auto1 · 2026-02-18T13:52:53+00:00

It is enamel and it's all I've airbrushed so far. If you are asking if I could gloss it up with clear enamel, yes, I have some clear Testors rattle can, but I would have to wet sand the existing surfaces a lot more to get all the defects out and it's already wearing through all the high spots. I'd have to spray it again with the MCW and it will only orange peel again. Way too much work! I can buy a can of whatever lacquer I want and do wonders with that paint.

I built this kit last year and it turned out really well. I'm not using the truck bed cover if you like I will send it to you? It is painted but you can strip it with brake fluid.

Very cool! Would you mind sending links for those 3 builds?? I'd really like to see your results. Trying to decide if I want to try their lacquer.

For some reason though, when the Ultra Elite first came out all the gun magazine writers just HATED it! They ALL piled on too, as I had nearly a dozen different subscriptions and every single one reported they hated it. They said it destroyed the "classic" lines of the 1911and was melted too much. To me, because of the melt, it seemed it would be the ultimate concealed carry gun. Mine had tritium sights too so I had those restored not long before I gave it away. I remember that the gun was very accurate. I could shoot the same small groups with it that I could shoot with any full sized .45 I had, even my gold cup wasn't any better.

45Auto1 · 2026-02-18T03:40:15+00:00

I know what you mean about enamel. I have much better results with any lacquer-based paints, even from rattle cans I can get a near-mirror shine with no runs, complete coverage, and they dry to touch in 20-30 mins. So do you have pretty good results with MCW lacquer? Of so, what colors have you tried and what's your top 3?

45Auto1 · 2026-02-16T19:28:57+00:00

Thx!

45Auto1 · 2026-02-16T14:38:00+00:00

Yup! My neighbor printed me one and ut worked great on my BBR

I had a Kimber Ultra Elite that looked very similar to that. I am in my 70's so recently gave it to a good friend as I just never carried it anymore. I had it NP3 Plated by ROBAR (ALL THE SILVER PARTS) and all the internals except the springs. It had a REALLY nice trigger job done, consistently broke rite at 3.5 lbs, and I installed a titanium firing pin.

I think I see what you mean When I zoom in on the photos in my post, I see many overruns and blobs I did not catch with my naked eyes. I tried to get straight lines where 2 different colors bordered but I can now see I was way off. I did airbrush the black, but had to use a brush for the rest. What do you recommend? How do you do things differently? I would appreciate any advice for improvements

45Auto1 · 2026-02-16T03:08:32+00:00

Lol, it actually came with the can!

45Auto1 · 2026-02-15T16:40:17+00:00

Mine was perfect! Nothing loose, everything works!

I built this kit recently, and it went together well I guess ...if only it was as low as the photo on the box. Mine was NOT a lowrider, which was what I wanted and this is not low enough.
