    Some of you guys have probably shot this one. It belongs to Churchmouse.

    Springfield Tactical that started out as a 45 ACP but received the 10mm treatment
    Alot more goes into a 1911 build then what I showed here but her are some of the steps.

    Before



    Tripp Slide, KKM Bull barrel major component add on's


    After fitting the barrel to the slide to the frame I had to cut the frame to accept a Ramped barrel.
    Found dead center of the rails for the barrel lug cut. I also carefully measure the barrel hood in the slide so the barrel is moving straight up and down with no rocking.

    Before



    Verifying parallel in the mill



    Finding center of frame



    After cutting for ramp here are LT and RT comparison of frame rail width





    First Ramp Cut



    Width is narrower then the normal .375 Not totally necassary but I like to think close tolorences are nice in put in the right place



    Barrel lug width in relation



    Setting up for Vertical impact surface cut



    VIS cut and barrel sits in frame




    Cleaned up



    I don't know why I did this, I just did



    Cutting feed ramp to my preferred angle and length


    "Braking" the edges and polishing


    Time for slide dressing



    Step 1



    Skipped a few steps here, like some ball cuts and sight cuts



    Top line chevrons




    Getting there



    Serrations



    Once again a little carried away on the small stuff. Made the serrations harder then they needed to be...




    Armors Black


    .


    Tada :)

    I'm drooling a little............

    :)

    Do factory 10mm mags work in a single stack .45 receiver? This might be an option to build off of my RIA frame.

    Allen this remains one of my favorite 1911's.
    It is a serious shooter and handles anything I put through it.
    Sits on the night stand. Pity the fool that ever ends up on the wrong end of it.

    I think I want to go fondle it now.
