Pydracor Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Finally got this after a long ordeal of shipping horrors and german bureaucracy... Tokyo Marui Springfield V10 GBB with all the bells and whistles from Guarder's stainless steel program: Slide, outer, frame, hammerspringhousing, slidecatch, hammer, safety, gripsafety in stainless steel, front and rear sight in steel. Plus Kimpoi wood grips with Springfield logo. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raydee Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) First time for me as I get a full built 1911 as I always do my own custom builds from scratch (AM, GSB, etc.) The cerakote paintjob by Hillbilly223 is incredible, very close to its RS counterpart, with that sleek satin finish : This RWA Agent2 will be stripped down for a complete AM internal upgrade. Also the grips+screws will be replaced by RS Nighthawk custom ones. The RS counterpart, the cerakote paint looks pretty the same compared to the RWA Agent Hillbilly223 Cerakote one : Next to a GSB STI DVC OMNI fully upgraded (AM parts) : Edited August 21, 2022 by Raydee 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 He tried to serrate the top of the slide, but his cutter was cutting too deep. We decided on going with a subtle chain pattern inspired by the Kimber Raptor. I think it's very elegant and nice to look at. Not sure if it's too practical, though. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah they staggered the release of them bits, glad you got yours complete. Are you using Guarders MSH or stock one, on mine the stock one it won't go on easily, ended up ramming it up in place using brute force. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 40 Lpi serrations on the back of the slide. I'll need to clean it up but looks good image uploader The beautiful detail in the flat top Also, the EDGE slide wasn't exactly square. Causing the ball cut to point down. I re-angled the ball cut carefully with a 400 grit porcelain stone and blended it. Gonna have to sandblast again Before After 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't recall having problems with it, really. What I had to change was the outer barrel. The Guarder one wasn't smooth at all with the action, but I tried a KJW one and it's like butter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Heads up guys there's a Prime Para Slide on Zero In. https://forums.zeroin.co.uk/forum/classifieds/spare-parts/spare-parts-for-sale/3289160-prime-cnc-slides-1911-and-glock-26c#post3289209 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Surprised as I had to force it into place on both my Guarder 1911a1 and National Match. Kit are the new version with separate bushings for grip screws but I roughly bought mine about three years back, maybe Guarder have improved their QC. Anyway nice gun : ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 This kit was probably a 2020 one, maybe late 2019. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k.a Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 I bought both of mine together so probably just a issue with that batch, Guarders QC being hit or miss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Now I am working with a new frame SCW3 type from Prime. I have a custom hammer and trigger set custom made by Ninjya from Japan that is custom made for my frame. As you can see, I checkered the trigger guard and plan to do the strap next This is the hammer set with a unique valve knocker that never recesses until the hammer is pushed back, making the power levels go up in crazy numbers. Sadly you can't drop the hammer unless the mag is out or there is no gas. The hammer, valve knocker, and disconnector set one-off for the frame.

The Disavowed Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Beautiful work gunnman. I love the pattern on the top of the slide, really nice. How come you have managed to post so many pictures, I have almost run out of total size uploads and I wanted to post some nice pictures of my 1911 build soon! 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Yeah. Just use a hosting site like imgur and it will give you the share links with the img tags pre filled in to just copy and paste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted April 4, 2024 Report Share Posted April 4, 2024 More updates. Recheckered the frame front strap to 25LPI and trigger guard to 40LPI. Finished the slide serrations as well as added some to the rail of the frame to match it. Fitted an Anvil Ed Brown steel beavertail. Next update will be the install of a custom Kart outer barrel and bushing I have coming from Japan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted April 4, 2024 Report Share Posted April 4, 2024 Sorry for the double post but here is the before and after of the frame. Started out as a PGC body and the marking were machined off and new markings were engraved. Then I removed the casted checkering on the frame, undercut the trigger guard and blended the undercut. I also moved the front strap lines up by hand with a file to allow you to get a higher grip. Re-checkered it by hand too. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
