    Alright, I have been contemplating this for a very long time, and still don't know that I want to do this, but I am listing my professionally modified STI Ranger ll for sale.

    STI Ranger II 45acp 4.15"
    - Melonite re-Finish - not factory STI
    - Flush Cut & Recessed Slide Stop
    - Heinie Ledge night sights 2011 manuf
    - Larry Davidson grey/black Thin Grips
    - McCormick high grip safety fitted
    - Ed Brown chainlink MSH to match front strap
    - C&S Extended Steel Mag Release
    - 10-8 Flat Trigger
    - Clean crisp 4.0-4.5lb trigger job
    - Reliability package
    - Gator Back™ Hyena Brown G10 grips
    - Bakelite WW2 grips
    - two (2) CMC 8rd magazines
    - three (3) Colt 7rd magazines
    - one (1) Wilson 47D 8rd magazine
    - Guide Rod breakdown tool
    - Case and papers if I can find it
    ALL work has been performed by Vanden Berg Custom, a very highly praised 1911 smith.
    Vanden Berg Custom

    This gun is a SHOOTER, and is more accurate than I could ever hope to be. It currently sits at 1100 rounds down range, +/- 100. It has never hiccupped except twice on bad under powered ammo, which was key holing and leaving tons of unburnt powder everywhere. Gun runs amazingly, LOVES CMC and Wilson 47D 8 rd magazines. This gun is as close as you can get to a full custom 1911, without going over $2k plus.


    I am about to bring it to GripReductions.com (GripReductions.com) to have it refinished in Graphite Black Cerakote, as the Melonite re-finish is wearing off. There is not a single spec of rust or pitting anywhere on this gun.

    I will sell the gun alone, with three (3) sets of grips, (VZ Gator Back™ Hyena Brown G10, https://vzgrips.com/gun-grips/1911/gator-backs/gator-back-hyena-brown-g10), Larry Davidson Thin Grips, and original WW2 Bakelite grips with hardware.

    I also have around 650-750 rounds of 45 ammunition that can be included for an extra price.

    I am asking $1600 for the Gun, mags, and grips, and $1750 for the gun plus all of the ammo. I am located in Houston, TX, and will drive, and possibly ship the gun at split cost with the buyer.

    The only trades I would consider would be in this particular order:

    Rifles- No bolt guns, lever action, or AK; AR15's ONLY

    LaRue 5.56 rifles +/- cash
    BCM rifles with Aimpoint PRO +/- cash, specifically the BCM® MID-16 Mod 0
    Noveske rifles +/- cash
    Daniel Defense + cash

    Pistols, multiple guns + cash
    Sig P227
    Sig P226 Combat
    HK USP9FS+USP9c
    Glock 19+17+34+ some cash

    The first few pictures are HDR photographs, which I edited in Photoshop CS5 to bring out the wear so that you can more easily see it. Were it not for the editing, the wear would be very hard to see with the naked eye, but is about to be a non issue as I am having it refinished shortly.

    Actually, I will have to hold off on the deal, with you having just joined and all. Thats a big commitment for that long of a drive and you being new, not that its personal but I am weary of shipping.

    Understandable. If it doesn't sell, feel free drop me a line. I'm on other boards with a pretty long history of perfect transactions.
