Hi guys...a short post to continue with the story...

About 3 months ago, my friend Matt sent me a text message on a Sunday afternoon to tell me about a Shorty 9 slide on gun broker...would that fit any frame? he asked... I think a 5906 TSW might work I replied...

to make a long story short, Matt bought the slide and a couple of weeks later he found a 4046 TSW frame...

So, I got both on my bench shortly after...







I immediately tried the slide for fitting and it wouldn't go in...

it was rubbing on a couple of spots...



after a bit of filing, I was able to "start" getting into the frame...





After some lapping...and a few hours of hard work...the slide was fitted...



After that, I decided to re-touch the slide and put it back together...






added a "U" notch to the rear slide...


retouched the front sight...


got ready the frame to blast...


retouch the rail, with some aluma black...




and then...she was done...



took some pics after...





Now to the other slide...

more to come
