A few months ago, I stole this mint Norc at a show for $299:
Here it is now. I "modified" the grip safety to resemble a Commander's and it's pretty darn close. Bought a Commander hammer on eBay that dropped right in. Added a $5 main spring housing from eBay. Put on some Pearce rubber finger grooves underneath my Ahrends wood grips, and got very aggressive with the dremel and the mag release. For the mag release I used a cutting wheel and a criss-cross pattern and it is awesome for traction.
