Turning my '97 into a trench gun has been on the to do list for quite a while but being the owner/operator of a small business I don't have much time left over for home projects. Looks like yours turned good though. Nice job. What i said earlier about WWI guns being solid frame and WWII guns being takedowns, I read this in a Guns and Ammo magazine years ago. I've never see it mentioned anywhere else so I'm not 100% sure either. Maybe someone out there can tell us and then we'll both know. By the way, how long did it take you to polish your concrete floor?
