werewolf45auto Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 The funny thing is I called a few big name smiths and som not so big name smiths and Johnny was some were in the middle and he is close to me so I have been able to check out and shoot a lot of the guns he has built. Keep in mind to that this was a face lift and not a new build I know a new build from him is not cheap. I was impressed with the fact that there was some things I never brought up but he took it upon himself to take care of like the old scope mount holes for example.

Tzygä Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Did brasses hit the slide racker when they fly out? I notice that some brass hit my slide racker when I use it like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COMATZD Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Here is my second Matt Cheely 9 major. Who makes that slide racker? Thanks, That looks like a Sidewinder installed on the right. I tried that for a bit, but it sets the arm more forward than I liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911Prof Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 OK, I've got to add mine into the list... I've been shooting a Hardy shorty for the last year and a half and after I found out that cleaning the extractor regularly is not optional, it runs like the energizer bunny. My only concern is that I am not sure who to turn to when the barrel needs replacement (which might be soon), it is my understanding that this is a unique barrel length so I am a little concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check with Chris for specific however. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalmas Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) My first open gun arrived last week - not yet fired - it is a fantastic firearm.

Intel6 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Mats, That is one AWESOME open gun. Now you won't have to shoot your limited gun in open any more. Enjoy! Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Delta Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Here's mine. It's a 9 major built by a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Adamson Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Here's mine. It's a 9 major built by a friend. Ya know what puzzles me... and I have 2 brand new ones that do the exact same thing... What is it with gunsmiths now adays... why does the cut on the slide match the lower contour of the comps... I don't think I've see one from any gunsmith lately that does, there is always this 1/16" variance between the two contours... Is there some lake of metal that I'm not seeing that won't allow it? Just curious, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, Alan The comp is an EGW that was a three port we cut the end off and added the last two side ports. I don't know why the dimensions are that way from the factory. I don't know if any other manufactures are different. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt2ace Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Here is my second Matt Cheely 9 major. Matt did a great job on those guns Randy. That racker looks real nice too. I just finished upgrading both my Gan's 9mm's. SV modular triggers (fitted to STI bows) to match the anodized aluminum parts including the STI grips.

matt2ace Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I found a guy who does anodizing for paintball guns as side (home) business. ~$100 each for all of the parts including grips, bead blasted and anodized with shipping and insurance. He is very reasonably priced compared to some of the larger companies offering anodizing services. http://www.topazanodizing.com/about-us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
