hardboiledcop Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 they're not actually that orange, that's just the lighting, they're more similar to treated pine in colour. They're in fact made of zebrawood. And I've been looking for a set for over a year, don't get your hopes up for finding a set straight away Link to post Share on other sites

ViciousV10s Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I agree with HBC here, nice wood grips FTW. On another note, can you SCW WA experts tell me if this hammer for a SCW2 will fit my SCW3 Kimber....? http://www.boomarms.com/sc/viewproductdeta...?ProductID=1302 Link to post Share on other sites

The hammer will fit, the sear won't. Unless you get a SCW2 firing pin and disconnector. Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, if I couldn't find sear of the same material to match, I wouldn't fit it. Edited July 31, 2007 by Mobius Strip Link to post Share on other sites
ViciousV10s Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Thanks for the info MObius, I think I have decided against buying that set. Pics of the new SD steel chamber, I was amazed that it was a drop in fit with the CDP slide and cycles perfectly even using 134a. Link to post Share on other sites

junior Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Are you keeping the Kimber 3-hole trigger or are you going to get a CDP trigger for it? The gun looks great....Whenever you ready to sell it...... Link to post Share on other sites
Eskimo_Magic Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) new 1911, the frame and slide have been sent of for anodizing and laser engraving. Upgraded parts include a new piston head, precision inner barell, enhanced loading nozzle, 150% recoil spring (maybe hammer if i can find a decent sear), nineball SAS outer barrel (with TM tracer unit attached) + 3 mags. Soon to be added after frame and slide gets back: lasergrips Edited July 31, 2007 by Eskimo_Magic Link to post Share on other sites

For instance, Wilsons are different from Kimbers. .the area where you pull the slide back. .some have it in the front like Springfields Customs. . I can't recall what the "R" actuall stands for. WA HICAP (not hicapa, that's TM)/SV = MAGNA, R-type system These slides are NOT compatible with the SCW system. .the blowback chambers don't quite line up. .you'd need quite alot of modding to get it to work. .I've never seen it done. ------------------------------------------------- to Chris/HBC. . kick a$$ grips (make me want to find some compact ones for my Ultra Raptor II) Link to post Share on other sites

Big R/Small R - This refers to the Radius of the Stirrup cut on the recoil spring housing of the slide - i.e. ; the curvature from the nose (after the straight bit) down to the point where it would meet the end of the dustcover on the frame.
