hitmanNo2 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Scotch Brite pads anyone? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, I was thinking something along those lines. Perhaps using some bluing fluid and a light polish to give the finish a bit of a sheen. Then again, that could result in a catastrophic fail.

Then again, that could result in a catastrophic fail. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bluing solution doesn't to squat to aluminum slides, sadly. Why not just lightly brush the sides of the slide? It won't remove the anodization. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I was hoping it might kind of fill in the surface texture, with some light sanding with some very fine wet n dry, if you get what I mean. Yeah, I can't see lightly brushing removing the anodized finish. I had to take an orbital sander to get my MEU frame two tone. Whereas on the old Raptor kit, the finish came off pretty easily.

r.ocelot Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Perhaps the old Raptor kit were powder coated? I've seen a few Prime kits that had really delicate finishes.

hitmanNo2 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 AMT and crappy magnatech. This beast is comically large. And wasn't someone after a pic of a compact frame with a longslide? Link to post Share on other sites
beasthunter33 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) Just got them and they fit like a glove (the grips that is, they are Pachmayr legend series). They are on stock TM 1911s Here are some pics: And the consensus is, I LOVE them. They look straight out of Boondock Saints, and are super comfortable. I didn't even have to mod them to fit, they dropped right on. Edited September 6, 2007 by beasthunter33 Link to post Share on other sites
the cleaner Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) And wasn't someone after a pic of a compact frame with a longslide? haha. .I requested that a while ago. . say. . how 'bout making that AMT into a custom V20 (or V30 LOL) . .shooot. .you can probably put more than 10 ports on each side. EDIT... that's crazy looking. . now slap a magwell on it with one of those Wilson Supergrade extended mags to balance it out. .

hitmanNo2 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 They're out of stock at most places. A new one is coming out soon though with a different finish on the slide. Link to post Share on other sites
xDieter736x Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) eHobbyasia on ebay almost always has them. I've found that they have a ton of WA's I can't find anywhere else. Prices on the guns are decent, but the shipping from HK is always expensive. EDIT: Oh, I just noticed the WE at the top, nice, clean and simple (I might just have to steal your look ). Also, anyone know if I could get a nice silver three-hole trigger and a new hammer to fit the WE? Would one of a TM or HiCapa 5.1 work?

j33v3s Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) I know this thread is for pictures but it seems a lot of experienced 1911 owners come here so... does anyone know of a cheap bolt on rail for the 1911? Just go myself a nice new WE 1911, i looked around but the only one i found cost £150, hardly the sort of price i'm willing to be paying for a small bit of metal with holes in for screws Alternatively does anyone know of a way to make one without having to dismantel or drill into the pistol too much right, found one on ebay but it's in america http://cgi.ebay.com/COMMAND-ARMS-1911-GOVT...1QQcmdZViewItem anyone know of someone who does this in the UK?

Fast shipping!! It's marked shipping to US only (for stupid Ebay regulations), but if you "Buy Now", even with the "warning" afterwards, they ship worldwide...done it more than ones. ps.
