warpath Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 it's stock, but who cares, i mean who doesn't like 1911, by the way its WE-Tech 1911 MEU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrooklynBorn Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 That T2 1911 is awsome. I always wondered when someone would make one. Anyone ever plan to make The Comedians 1911 from the Watchmen film? That was a cool 1911 Augh, longslides. Hard to find, plus it has rails. To anyone who didn't know what they looked like. Grips would be easy to find though. Good luck to nyone who tries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Looks like a job for a TM 1911/MEU with a PGC or Nova Kimber TLE/RL II frame, and a custom slide + barrel...doable,, won't be cheap.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrManiac Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Baias6230, I love that Kimber, wish i had got a Nova SWAT kit from WGC now, oh well Charly driver, i also had a go at the T2 detonics/Colt hybrid 1911 a few years back, on a TM1911A1 but what you've done here is awesome mate well done Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Kimber rail wouldn't be right, the GSR, or WE rails would look more like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dom S Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hey guys, you seemed to be the ones to ask about this sort of thing... Ive got an Army MEU on the way (black one), im intending to polish up the inner barrel and lower frame, should look pretty kick *albatross* on the outside.... Now i just need to know what to do to the inside? If i gave you a budget of say £50, what would YOU do? im not really wanting hi flows, or uprated hammer springs, as its a gas guzzler and shoots over 300 on green as is. I was thinking maybe recoil spring, but ive heard this stops it locking back? Which i also dont want. Im thinking a new hop rubber, i was looking at the "shark hop rubber 60", is this a good choice? any different reccomendations? And also, the obligatory tightbore, possibly a PDI 6.1 if i can source one.... Anything else you can think of? Ill have to post some pictures when im done. Thanks!

beretta Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 The hop in them is pretty good as it is. I'd pick up a new barrel though. also, the recoil spring is pretty weak and a stronger one works wonders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrRay Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Just started my new kimber project and got on the kit. Any advice I should take to make it look irresistible? Edited August 7, 2009 by mrRay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whan Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hm... Personally, I don't really like black furniture on a silver 1911. I think it'd either have to be matte silver or chrome. Also, maybe those low profile magwells? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mega12 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Hm... Personally, I don't really like black furniture on a silver 1911. No offense, but you have no taste then. Nothing looks better on silver 1911s than a pair of nice black grips. If you get some of those grips that come from a kimber SIS, the half carbon fiber ones, that would be uber hawt.

mrRay Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yea, I just started on the project. I had silver controls in mind, this is just the frame and slide, but personally it looks a lot better than I thought it would. As for now looking to see some suggestions on it, until I get the funds to continue on my project. Already have the slide safety coming. Might be getting those pricey Kimber carbon fiber grips I've wanted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The black compliments the silver very nicely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whan Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 :/ I more meant the controls rather than the grips, though I personally prefer wood on a silver gun. It's just that, to me, a silver 1911 is less combat-y, and would look better imo with wood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ruchik Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Here's something a little different. It's a WE 3.9 1911 frame with a WE MEU slide with its guts, and some gubbins from it too. It's got a TM hop up unit along with a KM rubber. I know about the front end, I'm planning on replacing it anyway. Couple of notes about this... 1. Everything inside and including the TM 4.3 slide swaps over. However, the gun shoots about 1 inch low, meaning that the inner barrel sits at a downward angle inside the outer barrel, which in turn means that the entire hop up assembly is getting pushed up inside the gun. This leads me to believe everything inside a TM Hi-Capa slide sits slightly lower than the WE counterpart. The TM slide is also a REALLY tight fit. Cycles fine, but needs some lube to run smoothly. 2. WE 1911 slide works perfectly fine, no accuracy issues. 3. 4.3 length inner barrels don't work in the WE 1911 5 inch outer barrels. A shorter inner barrel points WAY off, so the shot goes high right. 4. Every so often, the slide occasionally binds. Racking it solves the problem. Happens only when racking manually, not during firing. Not sure what's going on here. 5. The dust cover (the portion of the frame in front of the trigger guard) is actually Government length, not Officer length. You can use either the 5 inch slide, 4.3 inch slide, or the 3.9 inch without any problems. Also forgot to add...interestingly enough, this gun actually exists. Well, to be more accurate, a custom gunsmithing company called Cylinder and Slide can actually cut the frame down on a full size 1911 to Officer's length, whilst leaving a full 5 inch slide on the gun. Here's an example (gun is NOT mine, belongs to a forum member called BriGuy1 over on thehighroad forums): Edited August 7, 2009 by ruchik Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baias6230 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 mrRay. I love your kimber. Beautiful. I am waiting to see wich way you are going. Also i didn't realized that the silver version of the PGC kit is so nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dom S Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 This arrived yesterday from ebaybanned, Less that 10 days between placing the order and arrival, so cant complain! Sorry for the pics, cant find my camera so used the one on my phone instead. Actually very surprised, for a gu8n that cost £45 including shipping, it shoots really well, and looks really nice too. Good quality finishing, and it seems the quality control has really been stepped up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

udunson Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I love the 1911s with the brown grips, and the chrome slide. I just think those ones look amazing. 1911s are definitely my favorite pistol type by far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
