working through my backlog...9mm open gun

[AllenM]

Seems like it wasn't long ago I did a sight install on a colt marked 1 of 500.







I went through and did pics of the entire process this was like one of my first paying jobs and I remember I was so nervous because it was a limited model.

That was about a year ago, Things have come a long way.

How do we get on the backlog list

next year my friend, next year. I do however need $8000.00 for a custom VW Bug I have my eye on, something like that would move you to the front of the line

Headed to ACC to shoot Allen's latest masterpiece. I will post a follow up detailing my thoughts. Probably start a new thread.

Exactly what was done? Stock 1911 into that masterpiece?

No it is based on a 2011 double stack frame and started with a bald Caspian slide and KKM gunsmith fit barrel for the foundation

Yes it is a 2011 not a 1911. Google bald caspian slide if you want to see how they come. But every single piece of this gun is hand fitted...not one piece is a drop in. The grip fitted to the frame, the frame fitted to the slide, the barrel fitted to the slide, barrel chamber cut, slide lightening, blending, drilling & tapping, trigger job, more blending, tuning, These guns are like Formula One cars, 1911's are like sprint car dirt track ****!. If you can build one of these guns and it runs....then you are one hell of a gunsmith!

Here is a pic of the slide before it was machined

Dose it have a fluted barrel? Looks it in slide cuts.
