Willie, that's too bad.
The aluminum is just too thick for my taste. You do GREAT work though!
I'd think there would be a market for a classy, all-steel aftermarket trigger bow for the Kimber's...
Thanks.

Nice, did you make that for me? Must be nice to stay home and bake instead of work. I'll send you an apron.

I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

That glass bead unit sure has my attention!

f any of you guys who are changing your stainless TG's for aluminum I would be interested in buying a nice stainless TG to fit a new 84L Montana. The trigger guard on new Montana's looks like hell. It actually has a coat of paint on it, and it looks almost white. I am an old corps guy, and I like the stainless steel better than the aluminum. I went round and around with Kimber trying to order a ss tg. They claim they got rid of all their SS Montana Tg's. I bought an 84L online thinking it would have a stainless tg's like my older Montana's. Keep me in mind if you have a nice SS tg. card50  swbell.net.

I know this post is a couple months old, sorry I've been busy and not getting on here much.
I just finished a batch, and removed some more material to lighten up a bit more.
I will be sending them to anodize Monday April 8
They should be back before the end of the month.

Titanium is actually heavier than aluminum, aluminum weighs 1/3 that of steel and titanium weighs 1/2 that of steel and cost considerably more than aluminum.

They are actually Aluminum Which is lighter than Titanium, These weigh in at 0.86 oz / 24.4 grams. I ask $50.00 Shipped. No I am not the titanium bolt builder, Sorry, I believe he is in Alaska, I've seen his posts on here but it has been a while

I ordered two several years ago. I am very critical of quality, shaping, finish, etc. Willie’s bows are very well done.
I don’t have a single criticism, not one.
