Yep! That was the plan! Print and perhaps modify slightly depending on the outcomes

Any chance you've put these models up on YouMagine or Thingiverse? I'd like to have a go printing one.

Haha, fair opinion. I fancied a change from my normal 1911, but didn't fancy the double stack grip of a hi-capa. I've got the normal one in the standalone kit at the moment, rather than the other way round as in this picture! Wings

Still need to get the sights, outer barrel, bushing, inner barrel and hop assembly, but yea! Also might paint the frame black and get a smaller trigger. Thoughts? Wings

Gah, and there was me thinking Irfanview had actually listened to me for once... Hopefully these will be a bit better! Wings

Getting ready for the weekend at UCAP virus... Wings

Pretty sure you can get lookalikes from HK. IIRC they are called 'alien' grips? I remember seeing something at least similar on WGC

I had to file down the parts on the 5ku BBU to get the dytac sight to fit, doesn't take much though, best bet is to take the BBU out of the slide and try to fit the sight directly to it (see if the hole matches up with the part under the slide) then slowly file away the offending sections until it fits. Took me about 5/10 mins? I should suspect the hi-capa sight has the same issue, I think the problem is the 5ku dimensions (I may however be wrong!) Had to do this to two different BBU's. Wings

Yes and no. Having done the same I'll point out problems I ran into. Frame is absolutely fine, Trigger unit is a drop in fit. Grip safety wasn't for me (I was using an aftermarket one, it didn't have the notch seen just underneath the hole in the first picture HERE. This might be the same as the stock TM 1911 grip safety so you might be ok) Slide is a different animal. You'll need new sights (HERE) and a new blowback unit (HERE Notice the notch in the top of the 5ku unit compared to the stock TM 1911 unit, this is to fit the Novac style sights). Apart from that! You're good to go

ICS with MOE hand-guard and stock. Originally I only planned to change the hand-guard when I changed the barrel, but then a stock came up in the For Sale section! Couple of elbow grease related mods (such as screwing on a new delta ring by hand :S) and the front end is now rock solid! The stock is also pretty stiff on the ICS tube, I was going to change the tube to a non-ICS but frankly I don't move the stock around mid game etc. so meh! Fairly simple, but that's how I like it! I doubt I'll put anything else on here except maybe get some Pmags (The ICS pistol grip is pretty comfy s

Two questions, 1: I'm assuming those are the standard S&W 629 speedloaders your using? And 2: is there anywhere in the UK to get spare shells from? Can't really see the point in putting together an order from HK just for 2 sets of shells! Wings

Quick question but where have the rifle length handguards come from all of a sudden? They look rather nice I must say! Wings
