Seems like it's been forever since I've posted and I apologize. I run random pic threads on other forums and it seems it's the easiest to keep up with rather than a bunch of individual threads.
Since it's been a bit I figured I may reintroduce myself and the shop. My name is Dustin Housel and I started HS-Custom, LLC early 2017? I think. Anyways the majority of the work is 1911's until a year and a half ago maybe when I finally made time to get into some revolvers. Majority of the build are RB conversions, barrel chops and a usable set of sights. We checker back straps and I try to highlight machine work ie lathe cut crowns, forcing cones, cylinder face truing (if needed), barrel set backs and so on.
Anyways enough about the shop and let's get to some pics! I love in-progress pics as much as the glamor shots so if you enjoy one over the other just let me know.
Okay last thing. The books are currently closed until February most likely. Trying to empty the safe by Christmas then spend some time on R&D. I usually just update the other forums when I open them up but feel free to drop an email and maybe I have time to squeeze it in. Thanks!
First up started as a 10-8 4" SB converted for carry.
Next up is a security six that was in bad bad shape. Thankfully we were able to save it!
This one was a beast. Caspian frame and slide base. Some of the highlights was a slide chop and coned compensator install, square trigger guard via cut and weld piece in, gold line front sight, machine checkering etc etc. These are pics before it went home for bluing.
681 we swapped a performance barrel into. Stabbed barrel, shroud, polished flats and sights.
64 currently getting worked.
Little 1911 work
Probably the last post for the evening. I'll try and get more up soon.
Model 13 in DLC.
Sometimes you gotta make it.
Random
Model 66 rework. The sights were fun. C&S rear that we welded an extension to and front made in house then shipped for tritium install.
Gen 2 Chen checker and install.
