FS: Custom 1911's - 3 Dane Burns, RRA Harrison, Jim Hoag Lowered (CT)
All prices include shipping from me to your FFL. Not looking for trades unless it is a large trade down and more than half of the transaction is cash. For trade downs, I am interested in handguns, knives, etc. I have not fired any of these but some may have been by the previous owners. All of the BCP’s are near mint and the Hoag is amazing for its age. Pics of everything for sale are located here:

Dane Burns Double Marked “Best Grade” - $2500 SOLD
by Dane Burns on 12 Apr 2001 20:07
I am pretty specific about my mark, the Scottish thistle.
The gun owner has to describe the work he wants and justify to me that the gun will be finished "as is" when it leaves my shop. If I agree it is a "finished gun" to my satisfaction I will mark the slide with a thistle. Package guns like the standard HP, FED, or GG get a "Burns Custom" on the barrel hood. But any of those guns can be up graded to a "best grade" and mark accordingly.
Full house, best grade guns get a "thistle" on the slide. Best grade is something I am very specific about and it literally has to be the best I produce, parts and labor with no compromise.
Bottom line is I have to be extremely proud of the end product on a BG gun and the customer had to be willing to purchase the best in parts and a healthy amount of my labor.
