apbrian112 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 hi guys, long time lurker, relatively new poster. anyways, here's my situation. i've been shooting production class with my xd9 service for about 8 months now, and have recently acquired a older bul m-5. i wish to use this pistol in limited/L-10 and wanted to purchase some accessories to dress it up for comp use. now, i've searched all over the internet and here (search button ) and can't seem to find these accessories stateside. i've tried contacting "team bul m-5" over in europe as well as bultransmark directly with no response. here's what i'm looking for: -bul m-5 magwell -extended mag release -extended slide stop/release (not sure if these are compatible with other 1911 slide stops/releases, if somebody knows please chime in) thanks for any help you guys can give. -brian- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterdaws Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I am the Bul distributor in Australia. I have had enquiries from America regarding these parts before so assume you will have difficulty getting them the factory parts in the US. However the slide stop is a standard 1911 part so any aftermarket extended one can fit. Also the mag catch can be extended by drilling and tapping and putting an aftermarket extension button on. The Magwell is what will prove difficult as the bottom of the Bul frame and mainspring housing is unique. A magwell to fit the Para Ordnance might be adaptable but as the mainspring housing is plastic one, I am not sure how durable the type that screws tot he mainspring housing will be. If you can't source anything suitable in the US, I can supply factory Magwells, extension buttons and aftermarket steel mag catches. pm me if you need more information Peter Dawson Boxtrade Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sestock Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Wasn't the Kimber built on a Bul Frame? If so, check with Dawson, he used to make magwells for the Kimbers. They are not in the catalog now, but he may have some still sitting around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC it was called Ten something. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 If your BUL has a square trigger guard then it is the same as a Kimber. The round trigger guard models are not. Some parts may be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
