Nope, just an illusion. Per the LAW it is just a chunk of metal still.

Ok got the Sig all finished up, a little slow going together the first time but I have it down now so it goes together much quicker.  The attached picture shows the Home built 1911 and the Sig and the Store bought Kimber.

Weight of the units,

1.  1911 full size unloaded 2.4lbs
2.  Sig 229 unloaded 1.8lbs
3.  Kimber 1911 Ultra Carry unloaded 1.4lbs

Nice collection. Like building ARs, it gets addicting.

Nice. Any problems with the tiny 1911? I know they can get picky, a buddy of mine bought one, and it just never cooperated with him.

The Kimber has been ultra-dependable I have never had a FTF.  I only use good ammo and at a min I try to get 100rounds a month thru it, Kimber considers it broken in once you get to the 500 round mark.   I am not real happy with the Series 80 design but I wanted it because I do carry this unit and I did not want an incident if it were dropped in a public crowded place!

Picture of the rail cutting Jig's the shorter one is for the 1911 and the longer one is for the Sig.  They do really well if you don't have a mill.  I prefer the mill but I got these because I wanted to see how well they do.

Finished my first 10/22 build using an 80% lower, really simple have not had a chance to shoot it yet.  Note on 10/22 builds, you can buy a new complete basic 10/22 cheaper than you could ever assemble one, unless you got the parts for next to nothing.  I did it because I just wanted to build a standard one to start.  Next build will be a little more specialized.

To finish the Receiver about 1 hour, and about the same to assemble everything, it will go quicker with the next unit.

Not bad. You going to leave it the raw looking color or are you going to coat it eventually?

I will either anodize it or coat it but I always like to put 500 to 1000 rounds thru a project before I take it apart for final process.

Good idea. Any idea what you want to coat it with/color?
