Bucko Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wow... Just wow... Nice work mate. I may have to start working on one of these myself (or send you a PM. We'll see what I decide lol). Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks No problem, let me know if you want anything. If you like doing it yourself that is fine but I have put alot of hours into this to get it to this point and this detailed so it would be easier for me to make you some material if you like Link to post Share on other sites
Bucko Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'll probably request stuff rather than do it myself. I can source the case for my Sig, but the rest of it is too much for me haha... I love doing work on my guns, but the extras like this are best left to others. We'll be in touch... Link to post Share on other sites
Andyjp Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Do you have more documents for the XDM that aren't pictured? There were a few other Springfield documents that came with mine that you don't have pictured. Need scans of them? Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 The only one that I know I am missing is the M factor paper, what else do you have ? Sure get me scans of what you got. I think I can ask Springfield for original copies though as they were very helpful, but I am pretty satisfied with what I got for it. I think contents may vary from batch to batch and I guess some shops may put in their own promotional material etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Andyjp Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Sure! I've got another warning card, the large M Factor cardstock card, and a bifold Congratulations on your purchase/warranty card. That last one might just be a different version of the warranty card you have, just with a congratulations letter from Springfield printed on one flap of it. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think that warning card is now binded inside of the manual, as I saw it on my referense pics as seperate, but it was in my manual. The M factor sheet would be nice to have though, might have to contact springfield about that. Link to post Share on other sites
TB-Stalker Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 The things I would do to get one of this for a 226....... Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just let me know and I can make it happen. I have all the templates and referenses for it so. The box you can get from Midway UK and the manual you can request from Sig Germany. The rest I can get for you Link to post Share on other sites
Andyjp Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Here's some scans of the different documents of mine. Manual is the same. Holster instructions are a bit different: Page 1, Page 2 Congratulations on your purchase card, with warranty info on the back: Front, back Warning card (this is the same size as my manual, just is an insert and isn't bound in): English front, ">Spanish back And then, of course, the M-Factor. Can't forget that! My overall case layout is a bit different than yours, so I'm guessing it's just dependent on the version of the case. My XDM case has been around for a few years and serves more as a workhorse carrying case than a showy dealio. (Pictured with a TM XDM) All the best, Andy Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Got some work done today and some production prints of new stuff. Looking friggen AWESOME! Just need some referense materials for the S&W warranty card and Club 1852 and then it should be done, just about. New material Sig Sauer warning and QC tags. Some more Sig Sauer warranty cards, front. Sig Sauer warranty cards, rear. WE M&P manuals.I decided to try and make my own S&W M&P manuals at work. Turned out OK but was alot of work (manually aligned all pages, manual duplex printing, had to cut all pages 4 times etc.). I still want the originals but this will work for now. WE M&P black, proper Code 39 barcode. WE M&P black, box contents. WE M&P black, envelope, matching serials. WE M&P FDE, proper Code 39 barcode. WE M&P FDE, box contents. WE M&P FDE, envelope, matching serials. HK GLock 17 GEN3 barcode sticker, fixed UPCA number font. HK Glock 17 GEN3 box contents, hard to close the lid there's so much stuff! HK Glock 17 GEN3 spent casing envelope. Unfortunatly the BB poked a hole it in when I put it in the case, there was so much stuff in there it got stuck inbetween the lock and the manuals etc... Oh well, guess I have to make another. HK Glock 17 GEN3 spent casing envelope, matching serials. (out of focus, sorry!) Bonus video on the Sig Sauer case. Sorry for the slow and muffled voice, 2am sooo... LIKE A BOSS! Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Mweh... You guys were right. I am not satisfied even after all this work and effort and, I guess, decent results. I keep re-doing and re-making things and adjusting even after my suposed "final production print"... Sucks balls is what it does. Anxiety consumes me. FML. Link to post Share on other sites
Algy Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 For what it's worth, I think you've done a cracking job. And if the anxiety ever gets to be too much, then I will willingly take them off your hands! Seriously though, good job, and if these aren't up to your standards perhaps you could get the real things (not a problem in Sweden, right?). Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Long time since I posted an update in here... Here is my new... CO2 powered Glock 17 GEN4... The case The Sticker The Contents RS GEN4 backstrap replacement kit (drop in fit!) Spare magazine with RS speedloader Custom made hand crafted spent casing envelope Spent casing envelope back Paperwork The GEN4 RS backstraps to the left, airsoft to the right, pretty big differense in finnish appearance. RS has that very particular sheen/gloss to it... That will be all for now Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Small update on the RS backstraps. While they fit on the pistol just fine, they were slightly too snug of a fit for the hole for the pin to align properly and could not be secured fully. The RS pin that came with the kit was polymer and deformed when I tried to drive it thru. The pin does work with the airsoft backstraps though. Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 So, I got inspired by this guys; http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.arms-cool.net/forum/thread-129817-1-1.html&usg=ALkJrhiCTjKqHktifHURulQpF4GUd-cbNg And I made these; Glock magazine retail packaging (they come in hard plastic packaging but I can't replicate that so Glock magazine warning sticker (the orange color is hard to capture properly on camera it seems :0 ) I also got myself a GunsModify serial number plate with matching serial number, to replace the stupid safety serial number plate And some Shooters Design Glock magazine base plates; Original Replacement part Installed (a little bummed out that it doesn't have the circular button cut out like the Stark Glock 19 has but, oh well... and the sides are beveled on the plate, but I can live with that!) And last but not least some Guarder recoil spring guide kits to replace the horribly finished stock one The paper in the back of the magazine bags is a little too big. Since the bag deforms when the magazine is in it the paper gets squeezed together a little, so have to make them a bit smaller to fix that. Also, the magazines that come in the retail box of the Glocks, with 3 magazines, doesn't come in these retail packagings, but I just felt like trying to make em... Oh yeah, this is gonna turn out real nice! EDIT: Almost forgor, this is what the GEN4 box contents look like now; Link to post Share on other sites
slu Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I've never seen those warning stickers on the mags that come with Glocks. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Are you doubting my research ? RS Glock 17 retail box. They may not come on the retail packaged spare magazines though, that I do not know. Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 It's an unfortunate sign of the times that warning labels plastered everywhere make this much, much more 'real'... Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 So I did something therapeutic yesterday, all day... Replicating the Smith & Wesson registration paper, by hand (as with everything), in InDesign. Man I wish they had that thing up as a PDF on their website... :| The referense pics (from RS, thanks to planeman for these); Front page(s) Rear page Now those are all the referense pics I have had to work with, with the exception of a partially exposed folded card next to a manual for size referense. And here is what I came up with (a couple of mistakes in first prototype prínt) Front page(s) (forgot to flip the bottom page, not sure why S&W did it that way but whatever) Back page Some formating and alignment errors on the back. Notice S&Ws mistake though, where is point #12 ? And here are some screenshots of InDesign just to show you it's for reals! Front page(s) Rear page You're probably wondering why I didn't just have someone scan the pages and send me, or print out a PDF copy. Well, a scan would be, IMO, sub par quality for print reproduction, it would be hard to get right for someone to scan. PDF would have been an acceptable option but it isn't available AFAIK, they only have a website form online registration for it. And besides, I actually enjoyed doing it, sat at the computer non stop basically from 2pm to 2am and went to print at 3am Yearh, I am crazy :| Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Latest work for today, WIP, first prototype. Certificate of Authenticity for Sig Sauer P226 NAVY limited edition NSW model (inbound). Referense Replica I dunno.
