Squad 701 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hey Mr.P. Glad your happy, roll on Champion Operator I was trying to make sense of the Nova kits listed on the Enten website, as a few are missing including your half-rail SF Operator. http://www.enten.co.jp/Nova.html But I found your original Nova packaging and it's : TM-GMK-018-BK Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Very Nice!! Hey Squad Show use more CDP 2 porn, I'm playing around with the Idea of building one. Also there is a PM for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squad 701 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Hi Icolater, I hate taking shots of silver-slided guns, especially when the light is intense, they usually turn out Albatross ! but I gave it a quick go for you Surprised Nova/Anvil didn't release the Kimber parts in Silver as well as stainless steel, they might be forced to this year Edited March 18, 2014 by Squad 701 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squad 701 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 For Icolater, After getting a frame Cerakoted, the barrel-bushing seems to fit perfect initially, as the first half-turn is loose, but as it tightens towards the end it will scrape the Cerakote finish as the last half-turn is extremely tight. So your best off filing the small latch on the barrel bushing to avoid this. This is a shot of Mr P's Operator when I rebuilt it after Cerakoting. I came so close to being tempted to use a barrel bushing wrench to get it on, but luckily enough I didn't take any chances. So all turned out well in the end. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

icolater Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hey Squad, I love those CDP's so much, really amazing pieces, I did manage to sort out the bushing mark at the front but you can still see a slight mark, but no bigy, I have another TLE 2 build in operation so this time I wont make the same mistake. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squad 701 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 A few more photos from a different angle into the light showing the difference (just about) between the Polished slide on the Series 70, the Cerakoted finish on the Costa Recon 1911 and the good-old reliable matt-coating on the PGC 1911. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigAl Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Love that Delta, think it's the High Combat Sights and Commander Ring Hammer, I bored with seeing Novaks and Fancy Hamers. Would look even better with a Hard Chrome Frame and Swenson Safties. Edited March 20, 2014 by BigAl Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ummmm, don't fill my head with ideas bigge ATM I can ill afford to send that frame off to hard chrome. mmmmmm Delta Elite, I'm hoping Nove re-release their kit this year, or you can flog me yours K.A Got my fingers and leggs crossed for a old type Meu and and Colt Combat but seriously doubt Nova or Pgc will ever do them older 1911's except for 1911a1's, should've bought them PGC's when they were readily available bud and exchange rate two dollars to a pound, them were the days , kicking myself for not buying the discontinued Pgc SA Mil Spec kit .

BigAl Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Old School MEU rocks had the WA one in a PGC Kit year ago ( will see if I have any pictures ), lovely simple fighting gun. As for a Combat Comander, that would be fantastic. Edit : Found some. Edited March 20, 2014 by BigAl 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigAl Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yeah, wish I still had it, would settle for a kit for the TM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrManiac Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 OK well it had to happen and was done as a commision for a friends daughter. TM MEU fitted with Hogue grips, AIP/Guarder/Nova/KJW furniture. If you have a weak stomach look away now.... 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I kinda want that, well the pink finish I mean, the design could be more 'classic' to fit in with my other pistols . 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
