Wow! That is uber fine! Only problem I see, is I might not want to shoot it, it's so gorgeous.
This has to be an excellent example between a custom build and a semi-custom manufacturer. The custom build can become so much more of a work of art.

You have preference to the Ed Brown grip safety?

You have preference to the Ed Brown grip safety? I didn't specify any parts except medium length trigger. Jeremy chose the parts and I knew from looking at his prior builds that I would like whatever he used. For instance�.He uses Wilson fire control parts because he's found them to hold up better than some others (i.e.: harder steel). He used a Baer grip safety, probably because he can blend it better than others. But I didn't ask him about it.

Misread that on the grip safety. Sorry.
Baer grip safety is an unusual choice though. I wouldnt think it would be any different to blend than the others except the Brown. Curious as to why he choose it.
Are you gonna use it and carry it or is it gonna be a safe queen?

Haha. It is going to get shot. I told Jeremy that I'd try to break it and he just smiled. A new looking gun is just a fresh bead blast away.
