jmcmanis Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Ive been working on getting this gun all the parts and work done for close to a year now. I got the good news that it is finished. I started with the Tanfoglio/Witness Elite Match in .38 super. I purchased a 6" .38 super Briley barrel, EGW Hammer/Sear, Extra Long Firing Pin, Ambi-Safety, Sidewinder Slide Racker, DAA Cmore Mount, Cmore Slideride 6moa, Blue Grips and Trigger Pin/nut from Henning. I had Canyon Creek Custom put on the their magwell, weld and blend. I had them cut, fit and thread the barrel and add a custom compensator. Rich bobbed the EGW hammer and cut in for the slide racker. I also had him add the square trigger guard. He did his snake belly across the top of the slide and comp. He made sure everything was fitted and functional and Coated the gun in TiAlN and the safety, hammer, mag release and trigger were done in Hard Chrome. I would like to thank both Rich and Henning for their parts and services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongovb Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Nice. Just curious what your overall cost was compared to just buying a Gold Team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcmanis Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 I paid 575 for the gun counting shipping and ffl fees.. 1300 for Canyon Creeks.. and then whatever parts I had to order.. I wanted a gun that wasnt just like everyone elses.. if I had started with the gold team.. I probably would have ended up spending that much or more.

mongovb Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 What about the trigger? Is that the OE match trigger? I added the Henning straight trigger to mine and all I can say is wow. The pull is a little over 2lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcmanis Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 I didnt send it with that gun.. i went ahead and preordered the long trigger.. i may end up putting it in.. but the one that is in there is the factory trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongovb Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I love mine. In my opinion, that will complete your gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
