Brazos SC Shooter Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Impatiently waiting on this new blaster to show up. There are only 104 days, 23 hours, 39 minutes and 16,15,14,13 seconds until it gets here..... Only 85 days left. I added 4 tuned mags from Bob to the order.

Gun Plumber Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Can we see more photos of this 6" gun built by Kevin Toothman? Am in agreement with "ihatepickles" about being the first 6" gun to own. Most of them dont really catch my interest but this one is different.thanks what barrel? Bull or straight? Thank you for your comments on the 6" longslide. It is a bull barrel which ultimately will be fluted to further reduce weight. This pistol was built for Mike Seeklander, an IPSC GM from South Carolina. You are seeing it before him! I told them if he wanted to see his new gun he would have to look on BE first!

Julien Boit Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Simply beautiful ! I'm trying to figure out how the M2i magwell is attached to the frame. I can't see no pin or screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRBean Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Simply beautiful !I'm trying to figure out how the M2i magwell is attached to the frame. I can't see no pin or screw. Take a look at the last picture and you can see the pin on the side of the mag well. It must have been blended out of the other two. Makes for a good looking picture though.

OpnBlstr Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 The details: Mike Seeklander’s new six inch pistol is built on an STI frame, slide, and bull barrel. The frame was cut back from its’ original length to match up with the lightening cuts on the slide. The slide was lightened with the angled cuts topside, a flat top treatment, and the contour on the underside. Part of the challenge on this pistol was to use a five inch recoil system in the long slide since it has a better recoil cycle. Kevin had an old style comp gun in mind when he cut out half of the spring tunnel to blend in the shorter system – an example of form and function in pistol design. The holes in the back of the slide remove quite a bit of weight. All this is in an effort to make a six inch shoot and handle as close to a five as possible with the sighting benefits of the longer slide. The pistol uses a five inch steel guide rod recoil system, not a six inch. The fire control parts are all Extreme Engineering with an Ed Brown Hard Core sear spring. Sights are the Dawson Precision Perfect Impact fibers front and rear. Mike likes long triggers so this pistol sports an STI gunsmith blank lightened as much as possible to speed up return. Kevin recontoured and stippled the grip in his own pattern. Believe me when I tell you it is VERY aggressive. Hard chrome is from Metaloy. Kevin’s personal five inch pistol is also an STI frame and slide but uses a Schuemann Ultimatch bull barrel. The slide has a flat top and has the cocking serration pattern Kevin started using over fifteen years ago. It’s a series of 60 degree cuts with a skip line in the center – very clean looking and classy. The internals of Kevin’s pistol are also Extreme Engineering. The guide rod is full-length steel, the grip is Kevin’s own pattern, and the magwell is from Kevin’s old gunsmithing buddy Matt McLearn of M2i in Arizona. Sighting is provided by a Bomar rear and Brazos lightning rod front. Kevin puts in a lot of time on these pistols and alters many of the parts before he is happy with how the pistol feels, cycles, and tracks. One example is the undercut and contouring on the thumb safeties. Just a little bit of work makes a world of difference in shooting comfort. Chrome is again the always excellent Metaloy. For JRBean (and Julien): very observant on the magwell pin. Kevin smacked the magwell on a prop at a match and hasn’t had time to clean it up. Yep, it was Photoshopped right off the pic – no trickery intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Boit Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Thanks John, and thanks OpnBlstr, I hadn't noticed that ! These are truly nice pieces of gunsmithing, congratulations. I wish we would be allowed 6 inches gun here Damn' IPSC box rule ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCK Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 You have more cow here ............ than you do HERE! Todd, you sure that's yours ??? It still has the Fiber Optic in it If you would have come out to shoot last night , you would have seen I put a new fiber in it but used sightblack to paint over it. So far its working well for me and I think Im going to have a plain black sight put in the new singlestack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEDELLCUSTOM Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) TCK, did you say I had a thick wallet, you must be mistaken since I recently emptied it on this and now the wife will not let me out of the shop again until spring I also added a pic of my old limited gun that I recently sold to a local guy that wouldn't take no for an answer when I said I wouldn't sell it to him and now I really miss it! I also informed Matt that he needs to come up with his own designs, these damn kids just have no imagination when they need to copy an old man like me Edited January 31, 2007 by BEDELLCUSTOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEDELLCUSTOM Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 that's why I kept the other bike too which is a 2 seater. I told her she needs to get her own anyway and pay for it with the royalties that Matt is paying me for the use of my designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SA Friday Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) OpnBlstr, that gun is a piece of art. I've lurked this string for a long time, and that gun is quite simply the nicest one I've seen so far. It's highly customized, and yet it's so clean looking. I'm not sure I could ever own one that nice. I would be distraught about wear and tear on it. Edited February 4, 2007 by SA Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
