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.

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

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.

Interesting - I bought some steel Best Gun parts for my AUG last year and was very impressed. I’d never heard of the brand before that. What’s the rifle’s build quality like?
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.

Is this available on the stainless steel ones they make? The idea of finally getting a stainless steel Silverballer is extremely interesting.
Yes, although you would need to ask July_Pi as he needs to put a order in with the shop for it.

Are they old spec frames with separate inner frame? Or newer advanced type.
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.

Do the blank slides have the sight cuts already ?
M1911a1 spec. Novak, Heinie or Bomar will require you to machine, or find someone to do that.

Are those blank slides readily available? How about frames to match? Would leave to build either al steel or Steel / Ally gun but haven't the funds to buy it all at once. Would cost more but maybe buying bit by bit could work for me.
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 in a phosphate coat to ship.
Ultimately, I plan to have the frame Phosphate finished and the slide hot salt bathed in a deep blue with polished flats. You can't see too well, my slide has many small pitting marks that I must remove, these are heavily DIY guns, and you should not expect Nova level of fit and finish unless you do some work. I've known you for a while, so it's just a matter of where you want to go with it.

How do you get the slide custom made?? Cool project. I actually love the MGS series. I have enjoyed every single game to the max. I’m actually planning another run of phantom pain at some stage, it’s such a pity the game was never actually finished.
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.

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