My First Time...

Maybe just try a low profile non-adjustable version.

Did you do the ball cuts on the slide?

Yeah, it's an adjustable rear sight... kind of a test really... not sure if I'll like it much.

Wonder what I can do to get around that?

Wonder if I got it dialed in, then filled it in with solder?

 

[Glock 'em down]

Well, it would be after it's dialed in..... I donno though... what do you suggest?

You're asking ME?!

So about how much did it cost to build that thing total?.....I been thinking about building one...

Let's see... not counting mags ($109 for 6, but I already had them), and not counting tools (absolute essentials... prolly around $100... sear jig, stones and other goodies I did on this one... closer to $700), I think it's around $450-$550... wish I could be more exact, but I kinda lost track.

Now, this is doing it all yourself with help from buddies that really know their stuff...

Frame was half-off because they were trying to clear them out... $125
Slide... same story... $45+$35 for the extractor
Barrel... $150
Small parts, controls (mostly EGW or spares I have acquired) and springs, around $100 or so... this is where I started losing track
Sights... $60 from EGW

Smart, and no FLGR, yeah that one will work!!!

 

[Traxxis]

Very Nice

Thank you sir! Now if I can get around to some Satin wood's cut for bobtail!

Let me know when you need them.

Smart, and no FLGR, yeah that one will work!!!

Thanks. Again, not a fan of the external extractor, but it was too good of a deal. Kinda reminds me of a Sig GSR, but I'll let one of the Sig pros chime in on that.... (where you at EzBake and GMT?)

As for the FLGR... I've cleaned a lot of guns that had them... but I just don't see the need for it unless I'm running some sort of compensator.

 

[Traxxis]

Looks awsome! Needs some snakeskin on it.

Thanks man!

You know, I thought about snapping some pics with them on it, but the set I have handy are going to a guy from the site as soon as he gets his pistol back from Kimber... I just didn't feel right about it!

Maybe just try a low profile non-adjustable version.

Did you do the ball cuts on the slide?

Well, I'm building two, the other will be similar for this, but will be 9mm. Both will primarilly be used for Steel Challenge and my buddy that will be using this one is one of those that really needs to learn to shoot better to begin with... because he's got some funky way of lining up sights... but I'm working on him.

I did not do the ball cuts, this is the way it came from Foster, however, as soon as I get a hold of the proper bits, I will be able to do them along with my own slide milling (sights and serrations) as I have access to a nice manual mill.

You're asking ME?!

Well... I thought I'd humor you.

she was sweet, a bit oversized, a bit clunky and clumsy, a bit rough around the edges, but boy did she teach me a lot.

I hand serrated the rear of the slide...

btw: it's almost time for NCAA Football to start up... guess I should dust off the belt sander and die some wood red for you eh?
