1911 Project
I wanted an Ed Brown Lightweight Kobra Carry but didn't want it 3K worth. lol so I decided to make one.
I purchased a new Colt XSE Lightweight Commander (100 years of service model) and did a bobtail on it, next is off to the smith for some machining and a trigger job. I replaced the ambi thumb safety with an Ed Brown left side only extended thumb safety which I will work down to were I want it. The slide lock lever has been replaced with a 10-8 model. I have a Titanium mainspring cap and hammer strut on order as well as an EGW Ultimate Trigger Kit and the smith is going to install Fusion carbon fiber & Titanium trigger. Here is the gun as purchased. http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/IMG_1043.jpg Prepared for the bobtail http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/IMG_1044.jpg New pin hole drilled and Ed Brown bobtail mains spring housing installed. http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/IMG_1049.jpg Roughed to shape. http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/IMG_1051.jpg After the hand filing & sanding http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/IMG_1055.jpg Finished Bobtail http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/IMG_1065.jpg http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/IMG_1064.jpg More pics after it returns from the smith. |

Greg yes I am getting the front strap and mainspring housing done but it's a treatment that most have probably not seen, you'll have to wait for the pictures though.:D
Lane, rough figures right around 2K and that includes buying the Colt new. |
