Hey all I just got my work gun back from Chuck after a bit of "damage" happened. Here are some before and after pics and the finished product. The damage happened when my Surefire 610R snapped off of my gun during a course of fire at the range. The break occurred both on the slide stop (snapped it in half internally at the barrel lug) and the lights body arm. I miraculously was able to finish the shoot course. I shudder what would have happened during a real gun fight!
The build is as follows:
Note: Chuck did not install the beaver tail, sights or cut the original forward cocking serrations, but his previous work does include a reliability package and trigger job and contoured ambi safety.
*High cut and golfball frontstrap.
*Brown's SS mainspring housing. Golfballed.
*Machine new mainspring housing to accept existing magwell. Add
two pins for better alignment.
*Blend heel of mainspring housing to match frame with magwell removed.
Open up and internally blend magwell to frame. Provides good magwell bevel
without magwell attached.
*Weld and rework bushing lug to minimize gap to slide face. Blend bushing to slide.
Large bevel at end of bushing.
*Machine large countersink in bushing face. Shorten and match crown barrel to
blend with bushing cut.
*'Ball' cuts.
*Remachine front cocking serrations. Add 4 lines to the rear, each side.
*Install Dawson rail.
*Wilson 'Bulletproof' slide stop. Fitted.
*Flush cut and radius end of slide stop pin. Chamfer frame hole.
*Repair ovaled slide stop pin hole. Fabricate and install hardened bushing.
*Repair large set screw crater in triggerguard.
*Fit grips. Epoxy fill and remachine retention leg cut. Create clearance for ambi safety paddles.
