Welcome to the greatest 1911 forum!! Why did you say it was butt ugly?
Mainly because of the grips and the nasty Bluing
Don't know how to post pics yet when I figure it out I'll show you a before and after but the gun is definitely a shooter
I agree with the grips. My Metro Arms American Classic is a commander model. Bought it when Metro Arms showed up at a LGS. Its bluing is fine as far as I'm concerned. I hate the hammer which has the "MA" in it so I changed it to a Wilson Combat. I changed the grips to a VZ. I also got rid of the extended slide stop. Enjoy your American Classic.
My Government Model needed some upgrades too, so I put on some custom grips and painted a dot the front sight. Now it's awesomer.
