Wrapping up several frames that were checkered...

[cigarman454]

Here are a couple of pics of the magazine base plate notch after it was cleaned up with a file. I will likely take the time to setup a cutter in the mill to do these to save a bit of time in the future. Using a file on a single frame is OK, but too time consuming on multiple frames. I will Dykem the frames and clean up the machine checkering with a few light file strokes per line to make them extra grippy!!

Excellent craftsmanship.

Thanks for posting the video. Love seeing the craftsmanship actually happening. Nice and aggressive too. My P10C has given me a new appreciation for how well an aggressive texture locks into your hand while shooting.

I had the opportunity to view these in person. Damn fine work. Cree really knows his stuff, very talented.

Skullglide, Thank you very much! And thank you for the beverages!!

No problem. It was nice to see your set up.

Waiting on a couple frames and slides to come back from Cerakoting at Applied Ballistics here in Lafayette and cleaned up the finish on the stainless steel model. Bead blasted the rounds to clean them up and blasted the new front cocking serrations and the checkering. I also cleaned up the semi-polished flats to remove old scratches and give a uniform pattern.

There is just something about a stainless 1911. Everyone should experience one.

Now we need to see you blend a magwell ! Like a S&A

I have one to do in the next handful of days actually. Here is an in-progress pic of blending one from my pictures files. Second picture is the finished result. Keep in mind the spacing in back opens slightly when the mainspring housing pin inserted into the frame....
