So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
I like it. Duracoat is a good option, what color you going with or the standard black?
Cerakote
I just took my colt apart to clean, and also thought about coating it. Stainless and reflection seem to go hand and hand which is not good for hunting (I carry that gun while hunting, not FOR hunting). Do you bead blast or sand it first...to make it "stick"? Is it basically a spray paint?
Do you have to mill the slide rails? Just the cost slowed me down from what I found. Looks good, can't wait for the colored version.

Looks good, can't wait for the colored version.For this build I did because I have a mill but there are two 80% 1911 frame company's out there right now that all you have to have to finish the frame is a vise. A drill press is helpful but not 100% required. You can get the frames in 7075, 4043, 416SS in many different configurations. If Don will allow it I will post links. I have done frames from 4ea different company's just to see the pros and cons. You can even do AR15 lowers with a drill press and router now.Again if Don allows me then I will post links with my experiences.
Yep, I have a mill just wasn't sure and just the 2 slots right?Ken, ARs are supper easy. Just set up a DRO (I built my own) and follow the numbers
Thanks. Just read 3 hours worth of data on dura verses cera. I think I've made up my mind. I have 5 free samples of cerakote on the way.
Thanks for sharing. Any photos of the jigs or the frame before?
Very nice, I like the color contrast.
Haven't decided what I will do long term I have to get some more rounds thru them and then tear them down and measure everything and then coat with the final colors
Well its been awhile so I started a new build, in a slightly different direction but the same idea.Sig 229 build, I just have to cut the frame rails and then assemble.
Well how the hip got broken was me showing some very over confident snot nosed Jr engineer's that an old man could out run them with a 60lb pack strapped to my back, race was taking place with me leading until said snot nosed Jr engineer tripped and fell right into my back which pushed me flat on my face. my knee hit first which jammed the hip socket, doctor said I almost dislocated my hip joint. I knew I broke something as soon as I tried to get back up, Xray two days later did not show any thing broken, it was not until I had the MRI three weeks later that showed the fracture AND labrum tear.
