ZoomZoom Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Dragging the old girl into the 21st century. Mag well, Trik trigger, racker, all 5 C-more mounting screws [thanks SLM/Ryan!] and I had some bocote laying around so I made some wider grips for my ginormous hands. Got a few 140's and a couple 170's coming. I got an all day lesson scheduled with Chris Tilley on 5/8 when I down in NC for the week. Edit: Old skool 2 port comp. Any advantage/up side to cutting in a front of comp side port to either side? [sorry that sentence sounds like hell] Edited April 29, 2012 by ZoomZoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Nice looking gun. The grips you made look great, but I am just partial to wood grips on a gun. Please keep us posted on your Caspian adventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Looks very nice. Now time to load up some ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting your 170 mm Caspian mags or is this converted to STI mags? Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark carr Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hey Pat I heard from a good source Caspian was going to have there own 170 mag out soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 That would be great. I would not be in as much of a hurry to upgrade if I could get more big sticks. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glk21C Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 if you are so inclined, contact Jim Anglin, he's a Caspian guru and has made a bunch of 170mm Caspian mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoom Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Pat- I'm going to try some 170's from Higher Capacity because I'm to impatient to wait for the Caspians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gino_aki Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Side drafts might help with recoil impulse, though I didn't notice much when I bored a couple of holes into the front chamber of my old full profile two chamber comp. Don't cut them so big that the tops of the side ports are near the sides of the top ports...they'll crack through the thin section. You might have to bore a couple poppel holes through the barrel and slide to compensate for the loss of downforce from the front chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hey, that looks like a great makeover to the old girl! Gotta love the feel of cold steel in the hand! Which route did you end up going to fill out your mag quiver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
