Recommended Posts

Finally got this after a long ordeal of shipping horrors and german bureaucracy...

Tokyo Marui Springfield V10 GBB with all the bells and whistles from Guarder's stainless steel program: Slide, outer, frame, hammerspringhousing, slidecatch, hammer, safety, gripsafety in stainless steel, front and rear sight in steel.

Plus Kimpoi wood grips with Springfield logo.

RWA Nighthawk steel 1911 with machined rs Heinie tritium sights, stainless threaded insert (to match this two tone oddness), grey Magpul grip panels!

First time for me as I get a full built 1911 as I always do my own custom builds from scratch (AM, GSB, etc.)

The cerakote paintjob by Hillbilly223  is incredible, very close to its RS counterpart, with that sleek satin finish :

This RWA Agent2 will be stripped down for a complete AM internal upgrade. Also the grips+screws will be replaced by RS Nighthawk custom ones.

 

The RS counterpart, the cerakote paint looks pretty the same compared to the RWA Agent Hillbilly223 Cerakote one :

Next to a GSB STI DVC OMNI fully upgraded (AM parts) :

Yes. I finally found the safety I was missing, which was the last part they released.

Yeah they staggered the release of them bits, glad you got yours complete. Are you using Guarders MSH or stock one, on mine the stock one it won't go on easily, ended up ramming it up in place using brute force.

40 Lpi serrations on the back of the slide. I'll need to clean it up but looks good

The beautiful detail in the flat top

Also, the EDGE slide wasn't exactly square. Causing the ball cut to point down. I re-angled the ball cut carefully with a 400 grit porcelain stone and blended it. Gonna have to sandblast again

I used the stock one. I don't recall having problems with it, really.
What I had to change was the outer barrel. The Guarder one wasn't smooth at all with the action, but I tried a KJW one and it's like butter.

Surprised as I had to force it into place on both my Guarder 1911a1 and National Match. Kit are the new version with separate bushings for grip screws but I roughly bought mine about three years back, maybe Guarder have improved their QC.

Anyway nice gun  :   )

Now I am working with a new frame SCW3 type from Prime. I have a custom hammer and trigger set custom made by Ninjya from Japan that is custom made for my frame. As you can see, I checkered the trigger guard and plan to do the strap next

This is the hammer set with a unique valve knocker that never recesses until the hammer is pushed back, making the power levels go up in crazy numbers. Sadly you can't drop the hammer unless the mag is out or there is no gas. The hammer, valve knocker, and disconnector set one-off for the frame.

Beautiful work gunnman. I love the pattern on the top of the slide, really nice. How come you have managed to post so many pictures, I have almost run out of total size uploads and I wanted to post some nice pictures of my 1911 build soon! 😂

I use a hosting site. Though, no clue as to why Arnie's can't use larger files. 2006 is long over
