Facing your demons...

I let the slide "marinate" in oil for a couple of days. I guess the reality is that I was scared to scratch it again and scared that the bluing of the safeties would "rub-off" again...

At some point in time I decided to take it out of the oil to see the results...








I decided to install the extractor...


this time I was drinking Coke


I re-blued the extractor pin


also the extractor...


everything work with no issues...

Since I need a spring for the firing pin plunger (I damaged the 2 extra I had). I decided to wait until the parts arrived and not touch the slide anymore...


I started to put together the frame for the RMR slide.




(I like a lot the whole frame in SS)

Then I decided to "man-up" and finish the serrated slide...unfortunately I was to stressed and so concentrated that I didn't take any pics...sorry...

...but here is the pistol assembled...


(some oil left in the front serrations)






The extended slide stop (Ed Brown) was a gift from 4T5GUY (Jim). I like it a lot...


























(some grease sticking out...)



I hope you guys like it...

Have to finish a couple of details here and there...

I am waiting for parts to finish the other pistol...(probably to will take a few days...until after Thanksgiving...)

more to come...
