cking Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) Getting close to finishing my 5" fat free. Used a STI tactical slide frame, nowlin bushing barrel, standard recoil spring/plug no guide rod. weighs in at 34oz. Will shoot it in the white for awhile until I'm sure I'm done with it. Thanks to everyone who answered questions and offered advice through the build Wish everyone great Holiday! Edited it today. added pics, also shot it. It is amazing soft in recoil. I also used the short radius firing pin stop idea. Basically any good Idea I agreed with over last year on the forum I incorporated into this gun.

BR Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 The slide cuts are cool, but I really like the butler stirrup cut -- I think that looks awesome, especially with the frame rail. -br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cking Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thanks for compliments. Stirrup cuts were done with wood dowels 3/8" & 1/2" with sand paper wrapped around it. Slide cut was on a mill with 3/8" two flute end mill with cutting head at 20degrees tilt, cut .060 deep about halfway through the slide at the thin part. Then a 5/16 center drills for rest of the holes front and rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cking Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 I decided to give it a quick finish. This is just Oxyo-Blue. Everything is done except for hole for Bomar. Didn't have a 6X48 tap on hand. Again thanks everybody for help and advice. Especially my Mill guy!!!!!!! He dosesn't like the look of rear holes. However I'm OK with them. Another friend tested the trigger, 2.5lbs Got about $1750.00 in it with 4 mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
