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.

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.

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.

wow that's pretty cheap, cant wait to hear how she shoots.

I was about to say the same thing, pretty darn cheap for a classic. Great job.

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.
