Marcus Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Shao14, I just finished the build, the slide+frame is PGC, small parts are stock WA, Guarder and Sheriff all mixed. I had to convert the frame from SCW1 to SCW2, there will be an article about the build and conversion soon. Actual price, I have no idea, because most parts I had lying around, but it wasn't cheap M.

FUmiYAsu Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 hey marcus, you have so many nice 1911s, how much did you spent on all of those?? Link to post Share on other sites
Marcus Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 ...how much did you spent on all of those?? I have plenty more of 'em.. and I really don't know how much I spent, it's scary to think about (all are FM)! M. Link to post Share on other sites

dirty mao Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 i rather like the look of the MEU without the rediculous mag bumper. Link to post Share on other sites
-Ham- Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 the MEU has quite alot of metal parts installed already. The chamber, slide and frame are not tho. Link to post Share on other sites
Elvis Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Here's a picture of my MEU with the prime metal body & slide. (it was also in the "weapon picture" thread Link to post Share on other sites
Marcus Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Very nice Prime kit, there I like how it looks like a gritty service gun now, and not all slick and shiny like the WA heavyweight material. How was the fitting? I've been thinking about Prime's MCSOCOM ICQB MAR-DET1 kit, but I've been a little disappointed with previous offerings from them. M. Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Elvis and Marcus, those 1911s are not only relly goodlooking, but rather inspiring. Link to post Share on other sites
-Ham- Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 (edited) ya very nice~. and marcus, u know my SW1911? can u give me some advice on wat to do with it? should i wait for kimber scw2? mod it myself? get a SW1911 slide. make it into summin else~ thanks -ham- Edited April 9, 2005 by -Ham- Link to post Share on other sites
Marcus Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 ya very nice~. and marcus, u know my SW1911? can u give me some advice on wat to do with it? should i wait for kimber scw2? mod it myself? get a SW1911 slide. make it into summin else~ Hey, I guess that depends on what you want to turn it into I'm starting to get tired of the generic kits from Prime and PGC, but I enjoyed making the LAPD SWAT because of the additional challenge of converting it to SCW2 (and writing about it). The only thing I don't like about the SW1911 is the longer trigger with smaller holes, I don't think it fits anywhere Other than that, I'm tempted to make a SW1911 PD CTC: I think it looks quite distinguished Maybe a good candidate to try some aluminium refinishing on, for the gray slide. If you want a sneak peek on my Kimber article, here it is: http://irc.arniesairsoft.co.uk/kimber/. It'll probably get put in Articles later on. M. Link to post Share on other sites
-Ham- Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 cool, nice guide! but i think im ganna wait for the scw2 kimber series, then basically take everything out and make mine into a LAPD kimber with flashlight. but that SW1911 PD CTC loox cool, and get white handles instead of the khaki/light brown. thanks for the info and tell me wat u think -ham- Link to post Share on other sites
Marcus Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Hey, Those grips are Crimson Trace laser grips, the color is exclusive to Smith & Wesson, so I figure that's part of the attraction of that model The rollmarks are also in the yellow/gold color you see on the frame, even on the reverse side of the slide, which makes the gun look quite distinguished and different in my book. Still, I'll only build one if I have lots and lots and lots of spare money and turn out to be very bored, I think I'm done with 1911's until I can afford to make truly my own. Last I heard, the due date for PGC's SCW2 LAPD Kimber sets was very vague, and their Hotmail doesn't work any longer M. Link to post Share on other sites
-Ham- Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 dam... first of all, why would u stop with ur 1911s? u have some awesome ones. second.. how vague? Link to post Share on other sites
Marcus Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hey Ham, About the PGC set, I guess 'cause every retailer (WGC, UNCO, Boom etc.) I've talked to or had friends ask in the store for, has received the same response; "we don't know"... thus, vague I just figure it'd be fun to build something else for a change, some nice full metal Berettas with exotic wood grips perhaps. Or a Performance Center 945 M. Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Do the 945 dude, infact I saw a picture of a 945 Compact work in progress somewhere, was it your's by any chance? Did you have a front sight that will fit my W130 by the way? Link to post Share on other sites
Marcus Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hey Al, Nope, wasn't my PC945C, but it was probably me who posted it (it was off Metal Bantyo). I'd do a full-size PC945, though, not a compact. I'm sorry, but I don't think I have any spare front sights, I just sold off a whole bunch to someone who also bought an old Magna metal frame from me, but I'll let you know if I buy something that makes me end up with a spare.

BigAl Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Ok cheers mate, guess I'll have to try and order one from HK then, who would you recomend WGC? Will probably buy a new pistol aswell if that affect your recomendation. Link to post Share on other sites
Whitedingo Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) And the P14, just for good measure. And the "parkerized" finish on my KJW, really just a flat primer in a close-to-right shade. I'm going to try perma-blue sometime in the near future.
