Its an old WGP bull barrel with a little work. I miss that gun but I love what you are doing with it. Glad it went to a good home.

Bull barrel that I trimmed down on the lathe and that was Freak bored at some point (I believe by Super_Stanchy). The full length 1" OD looks better than any other barrel I've seen on these guns, IMO.

Reminds me of Hellboys piece, and yup, the freak boring was done by stanchy.

Progress???

Funny you should mention- I haven't gotten as far as I'd have liked due to a lack of fundage (someone buy the other damn DRV in my sig, PLEASE!!) but last night I finally got around to getting the front sight permanently mounted via split-pin and also got the rail mounted to the gun. I should be able to have pics by the end of the weekend since I should finally be getting my real camera back today.

Still need the right sized screws to mount the rear sight (ordered 6-32 cone heads and they ended up being too big to seat in the conical mounting hole on the sight... need to order some size 4 and size 2's and see what works), then it will at least be usable as-is.

The wood grips are going to take some time... I keep exploring ways to mount them but it's getting to be a real chore figuring out a method that doesn't compromise something. Making custom full replacement wood grips for the stock design is starting to look like a better and better idea in all honesty.

You ORDERED 6-32 oval heads????? You must have hundreds wherever you live. Unless you live in a swimming pool.

Shave down the stock grips all the way to the bucket changer and mount the wood ones to them?

At one point I was going to get Robertsr to try making a mold, and do an entirely new grip. Faux wood, faux ivory, his shell like ones, etc.

Sometimes I just don't understand what you canuckians post Huh? I got a small box of 50, figured I'd have them for whatever other project might need them down the line. The normal selection at work rarely includes anything smaller than 10-32. And the local home depot/lowes have an absolutely horrid selection of fasteners so I don't even bother looking any more.

It just doesn't work for getting the angle/gap that I want between the trigger guard and the grip. I'm trying to pull the whole thing back a little bit so that I can get my middle finger tucked up practically right behind the trigger guard, which you can't do with the stock grips since they're so close.
