Just another mock up
Polished most of the other parts
But the frame still need some work

Looking great. When are you fitting the rest of parts?

Can’t wait for the range report!!!

I shelved it for a few days I have a couple of side jobs going on so I’ll get back to it pretty soon

I’m blending and

polishing a Taurus 1911 at the moment

Wouldn’t be a proper project without other projects at the same time

Giantspeed · February 9, 2019, 3:23am

This job is about done
Just waiting on the tjs custom shin from brownells to change it from a 80 series to a 70 series

@Tactical_Reviews did you get some frames ?

Tactical_Reviews · February 9, 2019, 3:45am

Not yet

Damn fine work!

Giantspeed · February 9, 2019, 1:34pm

Thanks

I assume you will be taking it out for some range time as soon as the shim arrives.

Cant wait for it.

I plan on it
I have never converted a 80 series gun before so I definitely want to make sure it’s functiinjng properly before he come to get it himself

I didn’t really change to much internally to this one most of it was external work
I wanted to dehorn this frame and slide but the customer didn’t want to pay for that so I didn’t

Giantspeed · February 10, 2019, 1:57am

Fitted all the new parts that are in this now
And put it together for a test fire tommorow

Mosinvirus · February 10, 2019, 3:06am

Nice!!!

Looks good, love 1911’s

Giantspeed · February 10, 2019, 8:59pm

Thanks
Me too

@Mosinvirus took mine out this morning and ran 200 rounds through it
Ran flawless
It felt a lot better to shoot after checkering
Had gloves on though because it was 30 degrees this morning

Mosinvirus · February 10, 2019, 9:31pm

That is very good to know. Thanks for reporting back.
and Congratulations on getting your first hand checkering done.

Giantspeed · February 10, 2019, 9:56pm
