Photos Colt 1911 Mars Rana 45

[Bruiser_Joe]

ok the Pro pics of my new pistol finally showed up so i thought i would share. This is a Mars Armament built Colt Rail Gun frame with a series 70 slide. He is calling it his new Rana model. A buddy and I spec'd out the whole build exactly how we wanted it as our "ideal combat pistol". It was a long time coming but worth every day of waiting now that its here.

enjoy

Jeeeez, what's the price tag on that? My Springer just shipped for my ffl today, and this really is not helping the anticipation. Really want to check this thing out; Joe, you guys really did good job spec'ing this one.

A little over a year and a half

Just got to love the braised on fully blended mag well. With shortening the grip and and putting the magwell on they fit and balance perfectly in the hand. Just had two of mine done this way. Great looking blaster.

Re: Colt 1911 Mars Rana 45

yeah i'm very happy with it, i have a standard magwell on my other mars gun. i'm sold on these welded mag wells. i have a chen goin on my combat precision build coming soon.

Re: Colt 1911 Mars Rana 45

My gun smith talked me out of the chen and had me go with the egw. Something about the blunt "nose" area and the use for the games I shoot. Now I will never own a single stack without it.

Re: Colt 1911 Mars Rana 45

that isn't a chen, steve morrison makes it in house, he sent me pics of it in process from a solid block. Ran 400 rounds through it today without a single hiccup, no break in no nothing. i hate people who accept gun failure as part of "break in".

I am so stupid happy with this gun, absolutely awesome.
