Beautiful.. this is the gun i am currently building. You have done to this gun exactly what i had decided on doing.

I was kinda hoping mine would be somewhat unique but at the same time its nice to see how it will turn out hah.

 

(the only differences was i was planning on getting those grips with a delta badge installed and i was going to leave the outer barrel black but still polish the front plate thing whatever you call it. )

 

A question; did you polish the chamber yourself or buy a silver one? if you polished it yourself how exactly did you get the black out of the writing?

The SD ported barrel for hi-capa just screwed right on to the stock WA Chamber (I tried it with the chambers on these SCW2 guns: Colt Series 80, MARSOC, SW1911, and MEU Late). The only issue is that I needed to shim the thread a bit so that the porting will be facing up at the tightest point, otherwise they will face a bit off to the side when you tighten the barrel to the tightest point. It cycled no problem when I tested this setup.

 

I don't have a SD chamber for WA right now so not sure if that will be solved if you pair the SD barrel with the SD Chamber for WA. I suppose one could also get the regular SD cone barrel for hi-capa and do your own porting....

 

Also, the interesting thing is when I tried to screw the WA stock barrel on the SD Chamber for marui hi-capa, it would not fit(or it might have required more effort to tighten, but I was afraid to mess up the threading so didn't pursue that).

Just a few quick pictures from my phone. Theres a bit of oil on the slide because I had just finished some things with the internals and my hands were a little dirty.

Im at the verge of buying a WE 1911, diamond wood grips, polishing the slide to a mirror sheen, but keeping the lower reciever black. Anyone think this is a good idea?

 

Also does anyone know from experience if the WE 1991 is any gd?

 

Oh and cause Im lazy the WE is a blowback yeah?

I think you're cross threading the stock plastic breech. .

 

I've had instances where both stock magna and SCW barrels fitted to stock magna breeches. ..and then times where an SD Magna barrel wouldn't work on a Guarder Magna breech (same goes for SCW). . it's really weird. .just depends on manufacturer. . .

Do a little research. :rolleyes:

 

Sweet Raptor, xocomaox. I don't think I could spend that much on one pistol, but I can't help feeling jealous. :P

Well, the sd barrel's fit to the wa chamber was painless and is very secure once screwed on, and the original barrels still fit fine when I reinstalled them back so the threadings on the chamber were not damaged by the SD barrel. I am thinking about ordering another one to check also, so will report back if it works. Now if only I can find a ported metal slide for SCW2 that is not the $450 prime kit.....

 

 

That raptor is very nice. I'm thinking of getting the kit from boomarms....

Definitely WA.

 

Nice Raptor!

 

Since the last thread is now closed, a little more Raptor?

I do prefer the original finish of the Raptor kits though, the new one is too matte, not "pimp" enough.. :P

 

Sadly I went and sold these grips :(

 

But I've got some custom scrolled Mesquite ones in the post :D

Um, you know he's talking about the HiCapa barrel, right?
