eerw Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 that's the caspian race ready frame ( tactical model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Gaines Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 You can achieve the same look with a weld on magwell, without buying a new frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 I'm pretty sure I've seen non-caspian guns with a similar design magwell. (Part of it welded to the frame, with an extension on the MSH.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eerw Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Ed Brown used to make the maxiwell, EGW makes a weld on and Heinie make one like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterbenedetto Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 It looks like it was blended, filed and rounded all the sharp edges. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Ed Brown used to make the maxiwell, EGW makes a weld on and Heinie make one like that. The EGW does look a lot like that. I wonder who makes the longer main spring housing (Caspian?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter_rob Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Scott, it may not be a longer main spring housing, sometimes they cut the frame to make the magwell fit, that would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobooie Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Rob is most likely correct. I think it was in 1990 I had the Ed Brown weld-on put on and they cut the frame 1/4" before welding it on and then re-drilled the MH hole. Makes for a clean look!!
