  • Re: 1911s + Variants

    kudos to you matt for using some chemical paint stripper, most ppl that take the paint off a gbb leave horrible paint residue in the hard to reach areas like the slide serrations and mainspring housing.


    here's my lovely TM detonics, enhancements include tightbore barrel, 1911a1 trigger, luminous dot on foresight and wood grips - currently sporting some full size 1911 mags. amazing range, accurate to 45m

      I thankye, quite impressed with the results myself. Intrigued to see how well it ages.
      I'm afraid I don't have any natural light shots as of yet, I finished rebuilding it around 9 last night and Scotland isn't too abundant in natural light at the moment. I'll try and sort some natural pics tomorrow morning

      Cheers HK I have to be honest, it was a slight error in my part that I used the Nitromors.
      I was originally taking the paint off with the wire disc and was happy with the worn and abused work it put over the metal, almost a proper gunmetal grey but shiny in bits. I then went a bit too far with the slide (having previously polished the sides down) and buffed it to a sheen, so the rest of the gun had to follow suit.

      I've used Nitromors on a previous repaint of an M4 and it munched through all the layers of paint leaving bare metal, nicer surface to work from, so I stripped the .45 down to bare frame and went from there.

      HOWEVER - If you want to do this yourself, I suggest you get full face protection and a hooded oversuit (think NBC protection) as flicked drops of Nitromors, going down the back of your neck, ISN'T PLEASANT! I was standing 6 Feet away and it still got me :p


      On another note - love the Det with the full length mag. My hands are too big to use a Det comfortably without a full sized mag :p

        Well i'm in ireland so have no idea what sun or warm means!

        Did you use polishing compound that comes in a sold lump or something similar to autosol?

        At least the nitro gets rid of unwanted nose hair lol, great oul stuff and saves a lot of time but not to be messed with

          I know the feeling :p

          I actually just used T Cut the first time around, no Autosol around. I'm happy enough with the level of shine it has, almost a nickel plate.
          If I wanted to do it properly, I would do it again with a Bench Grinder with cotton wheels and finer compounds.

          Agreed, any sense of smell too haha. Definite minimum of eye and hand protection though, Nitrile Gloves, not Latex (munches through them). NOT to be F**KED with.

            Think i'll do a practice run on a few pistol mags and see how it goes.

            Sure diesel, petrol and probably a strong p*ss eats the latex gloves!

            Must get myself a polishing mop and see how i get on. Ta for the instruction

                  Stalker thats lovely, single thumb safety gives a much cleaner line and the right side of doubles tends to be too loose to work.

                  Like the grips too sets it off nicely. Just cant beat a proper 1911

                      So jealous! Lovely pistol

                      New camera arrived today, will get some better pictures up over the next few days but this shows the detail on the metal kit a bit better so it will have to do for now:

                        Hi,

                        Since I will soon be joining the M1911 club I thought this place would be the correct place to ask questions!
                        So:
                        The KJW M1911, What colour is it? I have seem some in grey and others in black, Black is better for me!
                        I have a freind who is going to make me some custom grips, What do you think I should have on them?
                        And finally, What do you think of these upgrades parts to be added strait out of the box: Nineball rubber & TK twist barrel.

                        Thanks!

                          This really isn't the place for questions post them in the technical or general discussion areas. My advice though would be: Please for the love of god get a TM or WA and not a KJW.

                            True, just thought as there are so many M1911 people's :P

                            And the main reason I am going for a KJ is that I have owned 5 TM's and I want a challenge this time! And also I am fed up paying through the nose for a full metal Prime kit to make it metal.

                              If that's what you want to do then I can't stop you but just don't come crying back when you have to throw it away. Plus I think you will find the difference between Prowin and a KJW metal kit is HUGE.

                                Yes I understand, This will be a project gun.

                                The main problem is that when I had a TM It felt like a toy, and the prime kit I got was more than my AEG is worth, My idea is that if I can take a underdog pistol to TM levels It will be a intresting venture.

                                Also WA pistols have disapered of the face of the planet!
