    Just recently finished this build up. The customer (Churchmouse) wanted something a little different than what was in the stores and this is what he settled on. This is not what was going to be built originally but as the project evolved so did the gun.

    The slide and barrel in the background was the original 5" game plan but we switched to a 6"
    5" to be built up some day when I have time.

    Build based on STI long 6" full dust cover frame, Caspian 6" slide 6" Infinity match grade hybrid barrel. Phoenix Trinity Stainless grip and Trijicon RMR sight

    Unfortunately I did not take many in depth pics of this project




    Some barrel fitting to do





    Once the barrel frame and slide where fit I added a Stainless Steel grip and extended magwell and you can start getting the idea





    The biggest challange to the whole project was creating an acceptable RMR mount. The 1911 slides are not wide enough to mount directly so I had to come up with somthing that would function and look good at the same time.

    Another INGO member and a machinist buddy of mine helped out with some CAD drawings
    A slide recess was cut and experimenting began







    1st design to be later rejected





    Finally seyyled on this one





    With that out of the way next was Barrel day

    11 degree crown and flush cut



    I put some holes here







    Then time to start blending parts

















    Custom mix of Burnt bronze and Graphite black color added and ready to assemble.

    Through out we were debating what type of slide serrations to do but as it progressed it looked just right with out them....for now. Made me feel lazy but I'll get over it :)










    Finish product

    I am just giddy right now.
    This piece shoots so well even with the full house Underwood ammo.
    Well worth the time and effort spent.
    AllenM built me a piece of Mechanical art.

    Amazing piece Allen and CM. I can believe it's a soft shooter. I was fortunate enough to shoot Allens compact 10mm with the hybrid barrel. It was soft for it's size.

    It only cost a cheeseburger right?

    Well, knowing that Churchmouse has had it for a few days and knowing his track record, I wonder if it's for sale...

    :D

    Having a couple of Allens builds myself, I can guarantee there will be other items in the safe that go up for sale long before his builds.... But CM, if you ever feel the need to re-home that piece, you know where to find me. ;). Nice work Allen.... Now you have me thinking of a 2011 again!
