sturgis Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) well, duo tone slide finally came in ! there was the usual swearing involved in fitting the parts, but thanks to noob3er i got there in the end some first impressions ! Wilson Combat tactical supergrade compact with Wilson duotone SDS slide and magwell removed i'll need to touch up the front sight, as i had to slap the *beep* out it to get it to fit...

Mathub Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 my french is rusty, so what the *fruitcage* you talkin aabout? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm asking who's speaking, because I don't want to sell my 6" svi, so I'm a bit deaf. What slide is that one the expert and is there a similar one for the 5"? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's a prime metal silde. It has some chinese characters on the left of the slide. A 5 inch version does exist. Link to post Share on other sites
Mathub Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Here's the V10 with more recent controls. Just need a steel chamber. Link to post Share on other sites
sturgis Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) nice piece man, i like it, how big is that slide in inches? as opposed to a compct size slide? though, get some other grips for it, wilson combat grips + springfield armory slide = nono imho Edited July 29, 2006 by sturgis Link to post Share on other sites
Mathub Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 3,8 inches. I know about springfield/wilson mix up. Did you notice the wilson rear sight ? Maybe I'll get a silver wilson profesionnal slide. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'll get a silver wilson profesionnal slide. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes i did notice the rear sight hehe, but that *could* be passed of as a regular NOVAK It's not that big of a deal offcourse, it's still smexy as hell i just get abit anal over trades at times 3.8inch ey, i'm curious as to what u used for the recoil rod then? a regular compact one? co's i've been looking around for compact recoil rods, but i can only seem to find 5inched recoil rods Edited July 29, 2006 by sturgis Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 you coeld just cut a recoil rod down, in order to make it fit couldnt you? Link to post Share on other sites
n00b3r Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 You know how the m1911a1 does not have a recoil rod, and it uses this recoil spring plug type thingy? You could always get one of those, and screw off the rod part of your recoil rod. Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Can metal parts intended for the V10 be used on the Colt defender? or is there some sort of difference internally which means they're not compatible? cheers, hbc. Link to post Share on other sites
Mathub Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 The v10 recoil spring guide is unique, I've never seen one on other WA 1911. Defender and V10 are nearly the same. But take care of the height of the trigger, and the diameter of the hole where the safety and the beavertail goes. Because it's not the same between old 1911 and newer. The defender seems to have old controls. Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) I haven't seen many websites with the V10 in stock.. (not sites that are willing to help me avoid import fees anyway) But I've seen quite a few with the defender in stock.. I take it there aren't any metal upgrade parts intended for the defender.. hbc. edit - I have found one on AG, but the price difference is about $50..

hitmanNo2 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Well here is the Hitman Springfield Special MOD 1. Its about 80% done, waiting on some Cocobolo wood grips, Springfield marked metal chamber, managed to get a nice foam lined, wooden box for it go in. Then I need to paint some white dots on the sights, semi polish the side of the frame to match the slide, round of the front sight to match the contour on the slide profile and get some small scratches out of the slide. Then theres some internal tinkering to do. Anyone know the best way to go about getting the scratches out? I was going to use some brasso type stuff as I heard pople use that on the back of their ipods. Anyway, pics Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 this is what i have been waiting for, everyone, stay back (mgs3 reference ) and to get scratches out, i use metal finishing wool, its like iron wool, but loads softer, works a treat on the mgs3 1911 slide Link to post Share on other sites
