Okay guys, I got this slide complete for super cheap at least in my eyes. So with the slide and an Ebay New $90 barrel and a couple mags I stripped the top off the .45 I just did from a tactical machine 80%. I kinda like it, yet with too much reading I have another idea I may pursue for it.

so this grand Idea of mine is to use one the Para double stack castings I have from when sarco was selling them a few years back. Redo the whole mess on the P-14 size and have a power house of final product. FTR, I've done a 9mm and a .45 on those castings. I still have two left, so they are kinda burning a whole in my project pocket. Done a few(as in a couple, that means two) of the single stack 80's now as well.

any way, that's it for the moment, I have springs on the way and I don't like the FP stop. It's loose as well... insert your favorite "loose" metaphor here.
