Fuser Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Exactly that. If I play, I'll just use the PGC barrel. Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 The can is here. ... The barrel binds like hell every third time or so. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have the same can for my WA Kimber. It binded sometimes early on, but after some lube and a few manual cycles, it now works fine. It's extremely lightweight for its size, at least in comparison to the shorter Pro Arms 6" can I had before. Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 After about five hours of work I got my TM 1911 into a Guarder kit. Took about an hour and a half of buffing with fine sandpaper to get the slide to move halfway decent. It sometimes gets stuck. I suppose it just needs some breaking in? Other than that the 150% recoil and hammer spring gives a really hard kick. With the added tightbore it really zooms BBs downrange. Now just to find a PGC/Prowin Rear sight and outer barrel instock... Anyone got a link to a place that does? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am honestly suprised at that. I took about .. a couple of hours?.. tops? and that was because it was not my M1911A1 and guarder frame. It is binding, but that was mostly sorted by the end of it. It looks UBER hawt with the Carom wood-grips on there too. Far nicer than the Herrets grips. The weight at 560gm or so is lighter than the TM one (680ish), but the balance is better for it though.

Carter Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Wow...ok I can't believe I even asked that. In my head I wasn't pronouncing it right so I thought it was a 1911-Savy term and not a normal, everyday english term. Sorry for Stupiditizing anyone who read that. Link to post Share on other sites

junior Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 silly question but I know nothing about 1911s or the like. I was going to order a WA V10 from Boomarms but after I sent my order over they changed the status to out of stock. Now it appears TMC is now out of stock as well, I pretty much cant find them anywhere. The WA colt defender is actually cheaper and in stock in most places. My question is, would I be able to buy a WA Colt Defender and just use a V10 kit on it? Or are the parts not interchangeable? Also if anyone has the Boomarms V10 kit, how is the fitment? I heard it was just a Prime kit, and requires the prime fitting treatment. Link to post Share on other sites

I heard it was just a Prime kit, and requires the prime fitting treatment. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A nightmare. I never had to use that much my file. The finish could be better for a 400 USD kit. But then again, who else make a V10 kit. Link to post Share on other sites

hardboiledcop Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ok people. There is now a thread in the "just Handguns" section. So cut down on all the chaff in here and save it for some lovely photos. Post all your WA 1911 questions in the new thread "WA Issues.." ta. Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I was about to refer that thread to here! chuckle. Will post some 1911pics a bit later on. Have to upload em. Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Care to share the secret of getting hold of boomarms Mathub? Is there some sort of code you need to start off your enquiry with that only people in the know are aware of otherwise they ignore you? Just noticed theres a somewhat lack of pictures on this page. I found this pic on my internet travels and think it's awesome. Some very nice leather. <img snip> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Who dun that holster? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Galco, pretty sure it's the combat master model Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I really fancy getting a galco shoulder holster rig for V10, and combining it with a similar galco hip holster for a new 5 inch project.. The galco M500 holster is just droolworthy ** Link to post Share on other sites
Mathub Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) Definately not a combat master. Here's one : I have a miami classic shoulder rig, and it's not so dark. Edit : found it, concealable belt holster from galco Edited April 30, 2007 by Mathub Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 But it's full size. I couldn't find an exact match so I guessed it must have been an older style holster that is an older model combat master in the havana colour. Unless i've missed one, or it's not even Galco and it's the belt or mag holder that is the Galco item in the pic. Link to post Share on other sites
FriendlyFire! Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I finally got this done, its nothing compared to what a lot you guys have, but I love it.... well I can say that about almost any 1911. I had gotten this gun done about 2 months ago... well all the metal parts anyway, but I finally got the Springfield Armory wood grips in today from ebay. It was hard for me to find the right price for these so last week I said WTH I'll just settle for $30 buy it now. The only drawback I have with these grips is that most of the weight is gone, but the looks.... AWSOME! And keep those beautiful 1911 pics coming guys! Link to post Share on other sites
Fuser Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Switched the grips I kind of like these more than the gunner grips, tell me what you think. Link to post Share on other sites

Carter Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Does anyone have any experience with the Guarder Slide and Frame set for the TM 1911? I like the price, but I'd cough up a bit more for a PGC if it is better. Ah, Res! Stop changing your pistol. Everytime I see it I want one just like it. I've got to ask...where'd you get the grips?
