start using the Hi-Capa 5.1's stock guiderod in place of the busted 9ball one. Had to cut off the little knubby underneath the hop-up chamber for the regular 1911 spring base...

I really like that grip. Where can I buy one.

ebay...look for Pachmayr Signature Grip with finger groove for 1911

Thank,s much RacingManiac. Was there any mod needed or did it drop right in.

Ahhhh ! Now I want a 1911 ! Dammit ! Pretty nice GBB you built ! Very sexy ! Yarrr !!!

drop in, no modification needed.

So this project is now proceeding.....parts are ordered and probably will be in hand sometime next week...

My plan is to refinish the Nova kit to be something close to this state(I know its kimber but I prefer the SFA style engraving):

including the side of the comp, and I am going to stick with my SD stainless barrel instead of the Nova aluminum one....

down the line when Marui MEU comes out I'll get its mag(with bumper) and I'll get the Nova SFA MSH with magwell:

well...watch this space for update hopefully in a few weeks' time....

In case you are wondering I am living in Michigan now.....:D The benefit of a US job....

All of your links are pooched. Don't cut and paste from a processed vBulletin posting. If you're going to cut & paste, do it from the editable text, not what's displayed - long URL's are chopped.

fixed....

so the parts came and I put it together without too much problem, other than the usual tightness of the BBU for Nova kits....I am considering two-toning it still, but for now I'll leave it black.....

Whats left I think, most of the internal work still needs to be done(nozzle, piston, maybe AS BBU). And that Nova MSH with magwell, and perhaps an ambi-safety....plus the new MEU mag with bumper....

Look back at the first picture. It's hard to believe you're looking at the same M1911A1. Nicely done.

Love the comp :). Nice gun.

Its a beauty man, a real beauty. Ever coming back up to canada?

not for a while....

Man, it's so nice. great job! I had seen those grips a couple weeks ago, I wanted to buy a 1911A1 because of those grips!
