A compact round butt
 

AutoMag was generous enough to send me a mainspring housing for my CCO build....so I figured I would put a few pics up of what I did with it. Thanks alot John:stand:

I still need to finish sanding and blending the sides, but I think I have the rounded-butt where I want it

I like that... nice job. What kind of finish are you going to put on it when you're done?

Man, that looks good Lonnie. Did you do all of the work with files and sand paper?

thanks Lane...I'm going to give Freedom Gunwork's Atranite treatment a try. Its one of those nitride bath treatments

Thanks Hoss! Yep, a few hand files and sandpaper...I was leary to tackle this because of the compound radius, but am pleased with the results

BTW - I was going to mention that the title to this thread was completely misleading...:rolleyes:

hehe....yep, I figured that title would draw some folks in like flies on ****:p

Looking good!!!!!:):)

I like me some compact round butt.. :D :rock:

I love compact round butts.....


And I like Officer frame guns that have had the end radiused.........;)

That is some nice work that you have done there!

You couldn't resist it could ya'? LOL

No I couldn't. I would post a pic but I am afraid I would get into trouble. :p

Every time I see this thread I can't help but think of Jennifer Lopez :D

Bill

NOTHING compact about that.

Yes, I love those little round butts myself! My CCO has one and she just loves showing herself off!!!:D:eek:



Nice work Sempy! Cant wait to see her completed!:stand:

very true, but i bet you cant say it isnt nice. :D

Awsome Job
 

Wow. Ive been thinking of doing tgis same project on my new S/A 1911-CCO. being brushed steel and flat matte itll be easy to keep tge finish lookin great. Although after Im done doing all the "Mods" Im havin done to it, Im going to have it refinished entirely in What Springfields Custom Shop calls "beadblasted Matte Finish" its like te matte finish on the older smith & wessons 49xx,59xx,45xx series firearms. I like tge brushed stainless look but too much to take care of wiping off fingerprints, oils, fixing fine scratcges n such. So i have always liked that blasted flat stainless look and finish. Anyways. Like the rounded butt look. U did a great job on the aesthetics of it visually making it appealing to the eyes to look at. Job well done. Lemme know when i can send u mine so ucan get more practice time in buahahahhaa.

thanks! I'd love to see some pics of youe Springfield CCO! I wouldn't mind having one of those; where dod you find yours?

Another very nice job. Now please step away from the files. I also prefer compact round butts.:eek:
