adiksaputok Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) I am so excited my limited slide for my para is on its way as we all know matt recently acquired his new milling machine i asked if he work on my slide (rear and front sight, slide lightening like top serration, front and rear cocking serration) for a budget. (I cannot say how much it is too low $$for the work done)unless Matt said its ok or you can ask him. he is so kind enough to take it. I will post pics later.....thanks Matt.....

Matt Cheely Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Heh, tell me about it steve. I've been working non stop for the last week straight. School, drive home, and then work till the wee hours of the morning, drive back to school, sleep, repeat... You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to the weekend and shooting the Wiit. I'll be there with a gun and some tuned mags to show. PM me if anyone wants some work done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrettone Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Man, with the bluing, that looks absolutely TASTY!!! I can appreciate his work even when it is "in the raw", but the finished product really does it justice!!! That deep blue really gives it some zip!!!

MasterLefty Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I'm not sure it's bluing. I think its 10 coats of hand rubbed black lacquer. Very Nice!! Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 That is very nice Matt. Anyone can assemble parts ( I'm proof of that ) but it takes a certain artistic flair to make it look right. You have done that. I'd love to see it in person. Now don't let it go to your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejoe Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Matt, I must say that I, too, am impressed with the work on that slide. Even sans blueing it looks good. You have a gift, my friend. Keep up that artwork. Sidenote: I think that's one of the things I love about the 1911 model. It's a beautiful gun. My wife says I'm weird. Maybe so. joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
