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

    Asahi WA2000 DX in mint condition and 3 Mags. Also, a real WA2000-spec accurate Schmidt & Bender 56mm scope. I plan to have a mount replicated like the real one for use of the scope similar to the mount in the picture
  3. 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.
  4. I think I am going to take a crack at the MK22. MGC M459 as a base and stock, locking mechanism and barrel custom made in Japan. I was not impressed by the Show Gun MK22. I wouldn't recommend it for that price.
  5. 40 Lpi serrations on the back of the slide. I'll need to clean it up but looks good image uploader 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 Before After
  6. He tried to serrate the top of the slide, but his cutter was cutting too deep. We decided on going with a subtle chain pattern inspired by the Kimber Raptor. I think it's very elegant and nice to look at. Not sure if it's too practical, though.
  7. EDGE/WA S70 1911, having the slide milled and sights installed by a friend.

    Mauser K98 eyepiece is actually the same eyepiece used for the Schmidt & Bender sight on the WA2000. Some more detail fixes, some setbacks. I got in contact with a Best Gun employee through a Taiwanese contact and found out that 80 aluminum guns were built, 20 full steel (Ironic, as the WA2000 is mostly made from aluminum). One of one (mine) sent to the North America. A few to Japan, but mostly a domestic bought gun. Originally a GBB was going to developed using an escort-like system but became way too expensive in the long run to make.

    My friend has really come through with the trademarks, now off to be anodized.

    I had the rear plates remade to be more accurate the the real gun

    It's good. Lots of little details like the bolt stop and the barrel removal lug is functional. BG used a Tanaka inner barrel and proprietary hop up rubber. The machining is great but the gun is way smaller than the Ares or even Asahi in length. The performance is awful though. HPA has come a long way and some people offered to help me with it. I plan to rework it to look more accurately to the RS, which is easier than the Ares.

    Slowly restoring and fixing details on my Best Gun WA2000. Bought it in 2010 and was never that great of a performer. Working with some members, and might do a HPA conversion down the road.
  13. Yes, although you would need to ask July_Pi as he needs to put a order in with the shop for it.
  14. They are real steel spec with a proprietary inner chassis. If you put the slide on a TM spec frame, old or advanced frame, the dust cover of the frame will be way too short. The slides are cast and are often mated to the frame (usually poorly) from the factory.
  15. M1911a1 spec. Novak, Heinie or Bomar will require you to machine, or find someone to do that.
  16. Yes, I think the going rate for everything is USD 380 for a slide, frame, faux extractor, and chassis. You are going to want a slide, frame, chassis, and faux extractor. These guns can go from wonderfully made to some of the worst guns you can buy. The Inokatsu is Real Steel spec in many areas, and a slide will NOT fit other aftermarket frames. Inokatsu had tons of rejects, the "ideal" reject is cosmetic. July_Pi sent me the best example of the M1911A1, then he called a shop that has these "ideal" rejected slide blanks ordered from Inokatsu. The slide was then engraved by him and finished
  17. The slide was a Inokatsu blank slide, the I had July_Pi from CustomGBB engrave trademarks. I picked a steel gun because it's easiest to get the high polish blued flats on it.
