Chris North Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Soap? Cheese? Closest guess was ivory. It's actually a beef soup bone, cut and shaped with a it of auto body filler (Bondo) to fill in the back and make it flat. They're really flawed and pretty much unusable cause one's too thick and the other has a messed up screw hole, but it was still an educational experience making them. They're so blurry because I tried to give them a polished look and finished them with a clear gloss, so the camera flash was a little too harsh. Link to post Share on other sites

birchm Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Does anyone have a blowback Hardballer? Need name of the manufacter and some pics. Kthxbi. Only one available is the Longslide from Western Arms, and if you had just looked on the previous page you would've seen one with a Prime metal kit installed. Link to post Share on other sites
Spiderpig Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Only one available is the Longslide from Western Arms, and if you had just looked on the previous page you would've seen one with a Prime metal kit installed.

Laursen Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Here's a few images of my KJ Works Colt M1911A1 in full metal and with full markings/trademarks. I'm thinking of upgrading the pistol with a better metal frame and slide and create a more worn look... Regards, Jakob Laursen Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 New Nova MSH w/ Magwell, and Nova Ambi safety....

masakarijoe Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 did you sand down your tm mag? how did it work? any problems? i think i may do that -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 yeah its sanded, I was bored.... doesn't like how it turned out, but with my MEU mags on the way I don't much care for it anymore. I just started with 150grit and work my way to 1000 and applied polish. But the thing oxidized quickly and goes dull....too much work for not much gain.... Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 ok, but does it still function 100%? because i would rather have even a dull gray mag than a standard one. i will have 3 MEU mags and 1 standard TM (came with my pistol) for my TM MARSOC -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 yeah the mag has no issues, I just made sure I took the feeding lip and rubber seal off when I sand and cleaned the mag throughly after when I am done so no dust and stuff gets in... Link to post Share on other sites
