These were both extensively modded. I did the work myself.
I documented what I did in this forum's gunsmithing sub-forum for one of these guns.
For the more recent gun I posted everything in the follow up link in as much detail as possible.
The gun with the wood grips:
Frame and Appearance modifications:
* Extended beavertail (welded)
* Rounded trigger guard
* Trigger guard undercut
* Beveled magwell
* Flushed slide stop lever
* Added and flushed full length guide rod
* 11 degree crowned barrel and 10x bushing
* Rounded frame nose
* Grips4u.Net walnut grips
* Mark Lee Express Rust Blue
Performance modifications:
* CGW Pro Kit (pieced together for a pre-b)
* CGW EZ-D sights
* CGW recoil spring
* CGW 10x barrel bushing
* Polish every part I could think of on the frame and action (I'll spare the details)

WOW! Have to say these are two of the classiest (ok SEXIEST! lol) ?75s I?ve ever seen. Could you provide details on each? What were the upgrades done and who did the work? What finish is that on them and who did them? Perfect blend of modern upgrades yet love the beautifully simplistic look as well. Just right!
I have a Pre-B just begging for some more affection
