I didn't think it was possible but, I personally think the LW Timberwolf frames are uglier than oem glock. I just don't care for them.

This is why I went back to factory ultimately I think they are ugly. But that is me. Price was a close second.

looking good so far Phil! it's coming along quicker than I thought.

Why didn't you go with an engraved or milled slide for your build? They have some pretty neat designs to choose from.

Well, that might be true, but I have found that a lot of shooters coming from the 1911 format, like the LW lower.
It sits in the hand like a 1911, points like a 1911 and has all of the goodies (straight back, rounder finger guard etc) like a 1911.
They are a good quality (I have used many) and their slides are a better quality than the original Glock slides (you can leave them as they come or refinish).
But if you are looking for a new Glock lower send me a PM. I have a supplier that gets them from time to time and in various colors (DE, OD, Black).
Never know what models he has in stock but they do com complete with all of the inners.

I have heard that about those frames and that's why inquired about them a few years ago. I just can't get past the looks, tho.

PM inbound about the factory lowers.

Another good question: when I think about getting the gun finished i try to put funds in the best places. I have not ruled out getting something done to the slide but that doesn't use my tight budget to its best place, for now. I am going to concentrate on finishing the basics first then fancy it up. I have not decided on sights or optics yet either so that could cost some money. Hope that makes some sense. I would love to go crazy on tje thing but that is not in the cards right now.

Nice project Phil. Thinking of building an m&p for competition...

Good it's lots of fun even though it's not a 1911. I am loosing sleep over the project thinking what to how to do on and on

I'm tellin' your wife you're using squirreled away doughnut money for a gun :p

She would know your a lier i never skimp on doughnuts! funny

Slide arrived.....
 

Nothing major, just the slide :rolleyes:. Have not gotten a chance to throw it on the frame yet but here it is. Looks great. they don't put the wolf logo on it anymore, was pleased to see that missing. I like a bare slide. More pics to come with it on the gun soon, when I get some free time.

Speaking of building an interesting gun
 

Does anyone know where i can find a speed reload accessory for my new KWA AKG 74M?

howdy,

I bet you'd get more help if you started a thread asking if anyone knows where to find one rather than asking in this thread.:)


welcome to the forum.

looking good so far Phil!

thanks....getting more eager for spring all along now

still waiting for my fried chicken funny

Word
 

After reading through the forum, ya'll seem like you know quite a bit about building a firearm, hence the question set forth to you. Thanks for the suggestion to try a new thread. Before i leave to start a venture within a new thread, does anyone have an extended mag for the new H&K MP7A1 Gas Blowback?

Start a thread on wtb for the blowback start another thread in lounge to find the other part.
Thanks.
