hitmanNo2 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 New Nova kit I take it? Very nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Papaman Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Yes it is the Prime 1911 conversion kit for tm 1911a1, very expensive but the finish is amazing. always wanted a classic 1911 but the old WA ones are sold out everywhere so i could not pass up on this kit when they released it.

hitmanNo2 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Cool. I have a Prime WA one but want a proper deep blue so I'm looking into the feasibility of some type of paint finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Papaman Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I think this kit is anodized, they call it prime blue. the pictures doesn't give it justice, it is a really deep nice blue colour and looks very similar to the blueing on my real winchester m94.

BigAl Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Also interested in painted blue finish, I have a metal Smith M29 that some nugget "Chromed" or as I call it sandpapered! Talk about ruining a rare gun, jez some people. lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garry Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Cool. I have a Prime WA one but want a proper deep blue so I'm looking into the feasibility of some type of paint finish. Paint will rarely make it look blued. These prime kits, what is the material? Are they cnc aluminium? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Yes Prime mostly uses alum. But they have also made some small batches of brass and steel kits. I'd also love to give blued finish on some of my guns. I have one Prime Blue CZ75 and looks awesome. Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I was thinking some type of alloy wheel/car paint. Something deep blue, almost black, glossy. CNCd aluminum yeah. I was going to strip off the anodized finish to get a good base. The project is miles off though so won't happen anytime soon heh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garry Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) I still don't think you'd get the desired effect though. Umarex came close on their early c02 glossy models. They used a dark grey base with an epoxy clear coat. One of the only advantages of modding the cheaper cast zinc alloy slides, is that it will polish and blue. However, the finish will wear very quickly. In the past, I've locked it in with a hard epoxy gloss clearcoat. I no longer have pics of the ones I done... If it's either ally, or the zinc alloy has a higher than usual ally content, when blue is applied, it either doesn't take at all, or you end up with a kind of brown / bronze. Below is an AA Gold Cup. They use a zinc alloy which has a higher than normal aluminium content, and it goes bronze. I locked this in with a high gloss hard epoxy. It wears really well, but I still can't decide if I like the colour? I done the slide only. The frame is a satin black hard epoxy.

hitmanNo2 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 You're probably right. I recall discussing paint options with you previously. A non insanely priced blued 1911 will have to just be something I keep chasing unless I shell out for a Ino heh. And that finish is pretty cool but I think I would have to see it in natural light.

Gunnman Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I always wanted a .38 Super, and I had to build one my self. WA Wild Hawk slide on a DP frame. Colt Defender controls. Sheriff trigger and MSH. And at the heart of the project, Cobra tapered barrel with metal .38 super chamber. Still in WIP mode due to the Heinie rear sight not fitting. I guess the dovetail spec is not all the same on SCW. Still not sure about the silver controls. This gun was originally a Bob chow that was in a house fire 3 months ago. I lost my Colt defender and by the time I found the Chow (in a rubble) it was starting to rust. I bought new parts for it and replaced the rusty and oxidized parts with new ones. Sadly I lost my pets and been using this project to keep my mind off that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
