I finally got my chicken coop found 1911 slide fitted to one of my extra Essex frames. This poor slide came out of the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket in a buddy's chicken coop. Poor thing was a ball of rust and all the openings completely full of mud dauber nests. It got a simple green bath and then went into the electrolysis tank and came out in wonderful shape. I could see it had a micro front sight but I was really surprised to find that it was an Ithaca that had been a NM. It still needs some work but I did get it fitted up and get a new Micro rear sight put on. Still needs trigger work and I'm probably going to upgrade barrels in the near future.
