im new to this pistol lark so i have some questions. Will this barrel fit my TM MEU?

I was wondering if there is any way of removing the right hand side of the ambidextrous safety as i dont really like it.

Also, i plan on getting a tightbore for it, can anyone reccomend me a good one?

 

Thanks

I was messing around with some different effects, what do you think?

The first couple of pictures are obviously black and white but on the third I tried to create the effect you sometimes see when old black and white photos or film are turned into colour. The last few are normal close ups.

Chris, when it's a gun as classic as the M1911 you can't go wrong; whether it's aged or contemporary pictures ;)

 

Personally speaking, I prefer the 'normal' colour photos for detail.

 

Keep on snapping, they're nice photos and it's always great to see the early 1911 up on this thread :)

I'll answer your questions, the Nine ball outer barrel will fit and the Nine ball makes good 6.03 Tight bores as well. PDI also makes a 6.01 barrel for your TM 1911 too.

neros131 - nice pistol. I like it.

 

Hahaha, glad to hear it! I was going to try to find some other bits to throw on, but I like it how it is. The only things that I can think of are a new MSH with a recessed lanyard loop, maybe a new trigger. Other than that, I am leaving it alone. Even those upgrades are only tentative.

Zmarre is that the WA MKIV Ser.70 magnatech? Looks like it, and I have one myself...

 

Love the thing, but a word of caution, the silver finish on just about every part of the gun [e.g.-all the plastic parts] rubs off quite easily. :( Granted, I didn't think about it, and kept it in a rather snug drop-leg, but standard usage destroyed the paint in a disappointingly short time.

 

*will post pictures soon*

 

That's why I've been so frustrated with Boomarms, I've emailed them at least 3-4 times, still no response on whether their MkIV Ser.70 silver kit is still in stock. :(

Jup, it's that one. It's somewhat the cheapest WA available (I wanted to use it as a base gun anyway). And I know about the chipping, I had one like this before and after two skirms it looked worse than my grandma.

Thanks. They are custom G10 by Larry Davidson. He makes a bunch of cool designs and will make your own design on request. *cough* don't get the same one as me *cough* :P Comfortable or not, I can't stand the look of the Simonich golfball grips I see everywhere that I was originally planning to get, and I was thankfully outbid. I really liked the design of the milled Kimber wood grips on the Aegis. These have a similar design and are on better material.
