Sold/Expired Tim Bacus Custom Build

[91045]

Fellow Fanatics this is really a special gun. It was built by Tim Bacus who is a phenomenal gunsmith and IDPA shooter. As far as I know Tim hasn't actively been building guns since the early 2000's but he's still a top competitive shooter. This gun was part of Tim's personal collection and has been shot very little. The gun will be accompanied by a build sheet from Tim. This is perhaps the sweetest custom 1911 I have ever owned or shot. It's an old school custom build from a great gunsmith and shooter that understands how a quality gun should look, feel and shoot.

Here are the build specs:

• Springfield Armory 1911-A1

Hello, who are you? Where are you from? Any references? Just curious who is offering this beautiful firearm as their first and only post.

I live in Virginia and have been collecting 1911’s for about 15 years. Mostly Wilson’s, Nighthawk’s and Ed Brown’s. I found out about the Fanatics site through the Addicts site. Tim Bacus also lives in Virginia and this gun was acquired directly from Tim.
