This was supposed to be a cheap single stack project, but after consulting with mtho and ans. nag double project cost ko, pero no regrets, every peso well spent :supergrin:

Motto ko sa build na ito, simplicity is beauty. in other words, ayaw ko gumastos sa aesthetics :rofl:

let us take out the hacksaw to make this classic division legal!!!!

Me baging equipment daw si jeff, its called a bandsaw

hahaha:cool:

nice!!!

waaag sayang...ang ganda nya. pwede na yan pang clubshoot and level1...hindi naman cguro i-strict mga yun sa tupada lang.

I was eyeing Federal, they have the basic Colt Government Model at P71k blued, I also inquired at Shooters, they said they will have new stocks when the gunshow starts, they had the "1991" listed but it was out of stock. I'll weigh my options and finalize by December.

I wouldn't know if they will grant a discount for a group buy.

CM,

Would you be able to post pics of the SAM 1911s that would be displayed in the coming gun show? They had new machines that arrived in the past months, and Rhone de Leon said that they will be using forged billets for their receivers.

Sure, I will. They said before that they had CNC machining but this is the first time I heard that their receivers will be forged.

seen some recent frames from shooters the machining looks good. first time i heard that they're using forgings already. me heat treating facility din ba sila?

Zen ang ganda! Parang payat na STi Edge :D

That was what Rhone de Leon mentioned a few months ago that when their new equipment arrives, they will start using forged billets for their receivers. They not only export to both the US and Canada, but Thailand as well, according to him.

very nice indeed! i like what you did bro. pwede gumaya?:supergrin:

if i may ask, ano yung frame mo?

Frame appears an STI

Sure bro! yun nga lang, hinde na legal ito for classic division starting 2012.

STI Rangemaster frame & sps slide, try calling armscor kung meron pa sila natira na STI frame, got the sps slide from PB for only P7k :supergrin:

and the journey begins:

ANAD unit but I need to change out some non original parts - trigger, hammer and grip safety.

I just got the Norinco this week for my first 1911 project: a 9 mm. precision pistol that, hopefully, will be accurate enough for PPC and other precision pistol competitions.

Federal calls it the N29N model, distinguished from the N29 by the addition of an ambidextrous safety, extended and oversized magazine release button, broader slide rack grooves and a slide top that's flattened and stippled.

Detail shot of the extended and oversized magazine release button:

The extended button can be screwed off to reveal a standard release button:

The slide top has a peculiar tire tread-like stippling pattern. It appears to have been rolled or stamped on instead of being milled.

Detail of the grip safety and rubber mainpsring housing. Note that the grip safety is starting to show signs of rust after only a few hours of handling. The blue finish is cursory at best. This pistol will inevitably require a more durable finish.

You can see the tool marks at the back of the frame.

@taurus-Nice,Planning to get one too. Ilang mag ang kasama sir?

You don't find the words "Made in China" on this pistol. Instead, the letters CN serve to suggest the origin of manufacture. The other side of the slide is completely blank.

The rollmarks appear to have been inscribed by some industrial "dot matrix printer". They are shallow and can be easily sanded out.

The shallow rollmarks, the thin blue finish, the lack of significant inscriptions and the total absence of a clear origin of manufacture are probably consistent with the marketing strategy of offering this model as a base gun for a 1911 project. In fact, Norinco's dealer in Canada, Marstar, enthusiastically suggests this:

"Though they work great right out of the box, the Norinco 1911s are popular with custom gunsmiths and competitors who recognize the potential of their rugged forged (not cast!) steel construction."

its nicer that i thought it would be, makes me want one for my self. laban mo kaya sa all steel yan i'm sure youd find the recoil fantastic.
