  1. it doesn't have to be threaded... yes Large Frame.. I need barrels longer than 5"... I have a lathe to spin some threads if need be.
  2. I am looking for a place to buy a .45 long slide barrel, one that is perferably threaded. also wondering if they make a long slide .22lr conversion, if so I want that barrel as well.
  3. a lot of the .22lr conversion issues are actually not slide related at all (although a few are). Most of the problems are with the frame and trigger mechanisms. Check out polishing a trigger, the sear housing and the hammer assemblies. once you get these parts smoothed out the slide works 80% better, then you can focus on the slide issues that are left. if you need me to I can post up links and pictures of every thing I did to make my conversion shoot flawlessly.
  4. don't give up.. it took me about a month to get the slide to fit exactly right and start running flawlessly. Try holding the gun to one side while you safely shoot a round down range watching how the slide acts. I found mine to be hanging up in at 1/4 open, fully open, and 3/4 closed. when I took the slide off, I noticed where the coloring turned shiny and polished those areas over with with a piece of Emory cloth. There area couple of threads on here about tuning the .22 conversions up.
  5. 57?! Where do the other 7 come from? Are you including Puerto Rico, D.C., and Guam? Glad to see I wasn't the only one who caught this
  6. Sweet, glad some one on here got it...
  7. thanks Johnbu, i'll keep looking, because i did see one once not to long ago.. just don't remember where
  8. Ok, I am still looking for information on frames... some where I saw either a CZ75 frame, or a clone, in the white, where machining and fitting are required. I am needing to build a gun from scratch for a school project. any help finding parts would be greatly appreciated.
  9. I have searched all over the net to no avail... As the tile says I want to build a CZ 75 Clone (oerferably as close to a Extreme as I can get). I can find all the parts I need but the frame... I want to find a frame in the white that might be out of spec to build a custom gun out of.
  10. I think you have your information wrong... one of my best friends is an RI Dealer... he is still ordering and receiving brand new 2015 RI .22 TCM/9mm 1911 Tacticals and MicroMag Target models weekly. he can't keep them in stock here. Bud's Gun Shop
  11. Nope, just stock Witness grips... the checkering is kind of filled in with sawdust... i handn't blown them off yet after doing the final fitting for the magazine and dust got every where.
  12. Here is my Witness P .45/22lr with a set of grips I made a few months back...
  13. I made my own set of grips from some walnut using a router and my dremel... wasn't too hard
  14. The single six is more closely related to the Ruger Blackhawlk.
  15. wow so my Para Hunter 1911 in 10mm might be going up in value?
  16. Good idea in theory, but the .45 slide would need worked.. the wrong ejector, and wrong springs, and wrong chamber... I have 2 of the RI 22TCM's. They are based off of the RI 9mm 1911's... I have an idea I am working up to get a .22TCM barrel onto the witness... itsa little more indeapth than your original idea. but once done, it would be a drop in barrel for a 9mm slide. I don't think you read what I wrote. Yes, I never mentioned a .45 slide. Its obvious you need a 9mm breach face. The .45 barrel is so I could eliminate some of the machining needed to bore out room for this "sleeve". Iyoure right i miss read it.. but there is going to be a lot of work besides boring out a .45 barrel to sleeve it.. then the breach is going to have to be plug welded and rebored for the chamber. I think it would just be easier to mill out the whole barrel... but thats just me..
  17. Are we talking the .357 Sig, or the whole conversion collection in general. The .357 Sig is a bust, I can't get a hold of the guy. As for the rest of the kits, I am just waiting for some good ones to pop up on GB. I have a few ideas for getting a .357 Sig and a .22TCM conversion... but nothing is set in stone yet...
  18. The Polymer frame isn't much different than the steel frame. I used the videos from the Wintess 45 to do all my work... just make sure to put pressure onto the hammer while driving out the pin.. or things do go flying everywhere.. but putting it all back togetehr isn't that bad... (the trigger assembly is a bitch the first time lol).

  20. I found that my feed ramp on the barrel had two little burrs that were grabbing any lead they could off the ammo as it was loading... It was a little worse than yours I was getting about 5 shots out before I would have a failure to feed. 30 seconds with a hone and I had that issue fixed, then I noticed that the slide was digging into the sear, and the back side of the slide was hanging up on the decocking hammer... So I made the firing pin block fit the frame better.
  21. if you install the new spring... i find it hard to change, so just leave the 45 in there... its not that big of a deal to know when the mag is empty
  22. ok thanks for the heads up... I have some friends that live in his neck of the woods, I will see if they know if he is still in business or not
