lookin good

That looks really good! Great pics, what camera are you using?

how are you getting the railed frame into country?

Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D DSLR with Minolta 50mm 2.8 Macro lens and external wireless flash...

Buying used from Illusion, he has another one thats NIB as well for $149...

I'm sorry, I drooled all over this thread.

the bushing kit looks sweet! question about it, does it actually fit snugly just by friction?

that looks like one well used hi-capa.

friction and tolerance of parts, but once everything is installed(guide rod bushing) then it cannot come loose...

the paint fading on the metal frame was like that when i got the gun 2nd hand....which is one of the reason why I want to go with an aftermarket frame....

Very nice. I like how you thought to use a straight outer barrel. i think the wear on the frame gives it character. I got some Nine Ball rubber mag bumpers from ILLusion and will try some metal ones when I get more mags.

well I went to pickup the frame and the black hammer today, and the installation took less than 20 min, the shade of black of the frame is different from what I imagined, but I think it looks ok...the mostly blacked out exterior kinda gives the polished stainless outer barrel that look of staring at some beast's teeth.....lol
