"The Robar Experience" is up and running!

After a vote at 1911forum.com I decided to detail strip my Springfield Armory Loaded Champion and digitally photograph each part after the pistol had been refinished by Robar Industries in Roguard and NP3.

For the full story see: THE ROBAR EXPERIENCE.

A hearty thank you to Rick Stevens, aka "Bandit" at 1911forum.com, for devoting his time and server space to make this project possible.

Looks good. The hammer wear is normal. In the caption it was speculated that the hammer had NP3 applied first, but that is not the case. The Rogard finish won't adhere to NP3.

Nice photos and information. Appreciate the effort and time involved. I've been recommending Robar for years. Robbie and the folks at Robar have always been very professional, polite, and pleasure to deal with. Turn around time has always been excellent and the quality is always consistent in my experience.
