Did a little work last evening. I think it's looking good. I know it's not to everyone's taste, but I like it.

  • Well, you just ruined a perfectly good 1911 frame. Good job Chris.

  • Ray, you know what opinions are like...   I like it. All that really matters.   I'm gonna get to working on it a little this weekend. Smooth some of the edges, clean up the magwell, blah-blah.

What is Honey Badger talking about?

I do believe he is speaking of an instrument to simultaneously burn cannibas and propel the vapors into the pulmonary system. Not my cup of tea.

I thought so. I just didn't want to say it.

Yeah, well, the older I get the less I remember to adhere to the laws of the p.c..

 

On another note, I found the Dremel and attached the polishing wheel to it and will go at the slide stop tomorrow evening, hopefully. Then I plan to hit the MSH and grip safety. I still need to shape the thumb safety and then I'll polish that out as well.

So almost two and a half months after you got all those parts, you don't have any updates?!?! Shame on you sir.

  • Author

Married, 2 kids, dog and been working a bit. Plus, I've discovered reloading! Am planning on getting in the basement to get things smoothed out and put together this weekend.

 

In my defense, I switched out the thumb safety and it showed up just about 4 weeks ago.

 

Thanks for keeping on me. I'll try and git'er done soon!!!

 

C

This was a great Saturday morning read. Looking forward to seeing you finish it.

 

If a newbie wanted to have a custom job similar to this, could the people at Fusion do it all?

 

  • Author

Thanks Tony. I got the thumb safety polished and will be working on it in the next couple of days. Thanks to all for keeping on me about it.

Chris, I had now idea you were so talented. When do we get to shoot it?

 

How much $ do you have into it at this point?

 

Maybe we should discuss a built.
