Thats the problem Skeet, Some of the things I consider pretty minor are fitted parts in 1911s that technically do affect the gun function. For some reason I have gotten a rep as being able to fix a problem 1911 (probably because I use ALOT of semi-drop in milspec parts to repair them) and some of these guys are comming outa the woodwork. It slowed a GREAT deal when I turned a half dozen of them away that wanted me to cut frames for ramped barrels and I told them not only no but H@$! NO! I don't mind fitting triggers, fitting competition barrels, etc on them. And alot of what I am being brought is JUST plain broke guns, or guns that need spring kits (and usually a ton of cleaning).
Still I hate turning folks away that I can help, and even though I enjoy the cash (anjoy it alot if/when I get any) I am a horse trader at heart.
Probably doesn't help that most of them find out I am a computer tech and can fix their pc problems as well. Already had a guy bring me a rifle, and a laptop to look at at the same time. . . . .

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
