Celraysoda 7 Posted January 26, 2010 So it is complete!! Cycles well and has all unused parts minus the barrel and mag. I will be more than willing to help anyone who is considering building their own. Here are the "better" pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jermz1987 243 Posted January 26, 2010 If you don't mind me asking, How much did it all add up to? Getting everything you needed to build it? It looks awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Celraysoda 7 Posted January 26, 2010 The frame is from Numrich Importing and the kit was from Cheaper than Dirt. I lucked out and got a very good deal on a barrel that included reloads in the trade. The kit from CTD was 100% complete and needed nothing, the slide was even fully assembled. Since there were no videos or manuals available that instructed on how to build one, I just looked at all the pictures and parts lists on Google and figured it out. I am considering making a tutorial. I made a few easy mods to make it a little more predictable and dependable in the action. Prior to the changes, it was only functioning in single action but would do double if it was turned sideways, gangsta style. A few springs needed to be bent, a small hole drilled...(Going to be taking Gunsmithing classes for extra income.. ) Frame: $39.99 http://www.e-gunparts.com/ Parts Kit: $89.97 http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/GNS065-1.html Barrel: $65 From what I gather, this is the hardest and most expensive part to get. If you ever come across any at a show or store for around this price, buy it. Count me in for one as well. Sarco asks $175 for P38 wartime barrels.

The_Matrix 105 Posted January 28, 2010 I was about to say the same thing, pretty darn cheap for a classic. Great job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt6669 71 Posted January 28, 2010 This just got put on my list. I'll be hitting gunbroker for the barrel!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Celraysoda 7 Posted January 28, 2010 This just got put on my list. I'll be hitting gunbroker for the barrel!! Let me know if you find any deals. There is a stripped barrel on Gunbroker for $160 which is pretty expensive for not having the locking block, pin, spring or front sight. I wouldn't mind building a second one.

Yup thats the only one on there and I thought it was expensive too.
