Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 All of those mentioned make killer guns and you can’t go wrong with any. but I will say I really do give props to infinity protecting there shooters during that whole nationals / hi cap limited state BS. wayyyy out of my price range but wicked decent integrity. won’t mention it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli_a Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I had my first open gun built by Bad Dog Customs out of Coleman Tx. Check my post history, I posted a little write up about my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 It sounds like Carne Customs is willing to build the gun using both the Schuemann Tribrid barrel and LSI Outlaw left-handed grip module I’ve specified, as well as additional specifications for ammo tuning and finishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximis228 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Tuning a gun to ammo is never a good idea IMO. Always do it the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be a Minor PF pistol running predominantly 124gr NATO/+P factory ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) So far Atlas, Akai, and Carne have said no. Rafferty’s books are closed. Does anyone have good contact info for Venom? They haven’t replied to my original email. If they’re a no go as well it’s going to be SVI by process of elimination Edited June 6, 2023 by Rudukai13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was told ok to send the parts in November, then when I followed up to get a copy of his FFL, was told to hold off since he was backed up. Would still like to get it done, but no idea what's up at this point. Not complaining, as I know he's a one man shop and def in demand. But you may be in for a wait.

sandflea316 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Everybody is backed up these days. I guess that's a good thing for the builders. Try Deep River Customs. They took on a little project for me when most said no or it wasn't possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda surprising considering about 70+% are shooting CO now. At least in these parts. Limited is just about dead, and even Open isn't what it used to be. So, seems like demand would be way down. But, that sure doesn't appear to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Brazos SC Open back in later January. When I call Bob about their full custom open, he quoted me 12 months. So I opted for the SC. Was supposed to be delivered by May 15th. Called and was told he's 6 weeks behind. Lone Star Innovations didn't want to take on work either unless it was a full build with his parts. SVI quoted me 6 months to work on my existing SV gun. 12 months for a build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe limited optics has sparked recent builds again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
