Gunnman Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 It's WA based. It's actually completly upgraded internally, but still retains the plastic slide and frame. It was origanlly a Bob Chow. Next is a Swenson Bobcat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I use imgur and find it works well. It allows direct linking to forum posts. Something that I could do previously on Google Photos/Picasa but after that feature was removed I switched to imgur. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Horsem4n Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) That's really nice. For some reason I like 1911s with unthreaded barrels that extend out past the bushing. Plus, the shortened slide with the grinds at the front looks really good. Edited August 12, 2017 by Horsem4n 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I could of put my commander inner and outer barrel in, but the standard barrel gives an extra funk to it's funkiness. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 You don't see a Novak Next too often. Pretty cool. I take it that slide relief cut never really took off in the RS world? Kind of makes sense but sacrilegious messing with the 1911 design in most peoples eyes I suppose. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 To be honest, I don't like it. It has no working slide catch, either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MODDAN Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've been looking in all places I could think of, but alas my Google-fu is sub par on this topic, so I must ask here:Does anybody know where I can get hold of some Marui Foliage Warrior grips? Are they available separately as a spare part, or must I find used ones? Similar Marpat camo 1911 grips could work though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 There not Marpat there UCP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cesare Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Haven't seen any but silverback made a pair of marpat laser grips. Boom arms got em. Is it ok w desert camo? Then I found some on eBay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 A couple new item, new beveled Commander bushing, steel hammer and sear, steel slide stop and Commander guide rod. Hammer and sear was super expensive, but gave this a custom trigger that would put even real custom guns to shame. Also, I picked up a Genuine Novak carrying case. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
