1911 pics
 

Almost done, just waiting to get some engraving done. And if anyone knows what Recoil Spring Guide will fit a WE1911, that would be helpful.

very nice!!

what did you do for the finish? Looks very good....

That is THE single most sexy peice of metal and wood i have EVER seen!

It looks awesome. What did ya do to it to get it to shine like that?

Thanks.
The finsh was done with 180 grit sandpaper and a wire brush with a dremel tool to remove the paint. then I wet sand it with 320 and 600 grit sandpaper, and polish with number 6 cleaning & polishing compound from canadian tire.

Nice job!

As for the recoil spring guide it just sits in there loosely, so there's a few options. I managed to use a WA and RS part, and Marui ones should work too (as long they aren't the full length variants).

Personally I kept the stock one, chopped off ~3-5mm from the tip and rounded it off with a dremel (grinder), sanded, polished; keeps the guide from breaking the recoil spring plug and bushing.

how is the finish holding up? I imagine that is some sort of pot-metal which will tarnish over time?

yes It does tarnish pretty quick.
when it does I clean it with bluemagic metal polish.

shiney :)

you inspired yourself from Krame's? Very nice mate

What's that trigger?

Well done man, the chrome sexes it up.

Very nice, congrats man.

Beautiful gun.

Looks a lot like my Nine-Ball, though I think Tanio Koba and Nova and maybe even PDI makes that style as well...

It's a nova trigger from redwolf airsoft, but I had to mod it a bit to make it fit.

That is hot. Wowwww

Very nice gun guys, I also got one 1911, I think it's not totally same with yours, but... just for fun, :D

Sorry I did not want to open a new topic for my poor 1911!

Just from the angle, or because the knife is there, that 1911 looks small to me.

No idea man, this is WE 1911, I think its size is the same with other, maybe caused of the knife!!

an amaising gun dude. i now want to remove the paint off my WE1911.

i had a box of random KJW P14 parts, and i actualy replaced the recoil spring and guide with the KJW one. it makes it look alot better when the slide is locked back. pm me if you want pictures

I like it very much. I also got one 1911

due to a few people messaging me about it. here is the pics. sorry for the shitty webcam pics.

unfortunetaly, it dosent lock in like the stock one. but no problems so far, i shot over 300 rounds with it like this, the rod is still in its proper place.

oh, very nice replacement, maybe I try with my 1911 later.

I used extra strength nail polish remover and 000 steel wool for paint removal on mine. I don't know which is easier, since my paint was off long before I found this thread.

@Crocket74: thanks for posting pics and your polishing methods: it's made my pair of 1911's far brighter than I'd originally done.

Man, that looks sweet. If I still had mine, I'd do it. Makes a nice show pistol.

Nice! Always wanted to know if these grips would fit well on a airsoft 1911.

Thats very nice. I personally prefer 1911s without rails, but whatever! That looks awesome!
