My MEU(SOC) inspired project

[SSGN_Doc]

It began life with me as a basket case, that was missing parts. Over the last six months I have been making changes .

From something like this, (actually started worse than this, tiny sights and missing parts before I took pictures): I added Millet sights, and some parts out of my parts bin to get it running.



To this: New trigger, grips, beveled the mag well, trigger job.



To this: New beaver tail, hammer, more bevel in the mag well, raised front strap/triggerguard, EGW barrel bushing, and a coat of Norrels Moly Resin.



MEU/SOC inspired. I'm considering an ambi safety if I can find one I like. If it needs to be more accurate I may fit a Kart Barrel.

Here are pics of a couple targets I shot today.


50 foot slow fire 10 rounds. Two flyers that were definitely me. Still getting used to the new hammer/sear interaction, and snatched the trigger a bit before I settled the front sight in the middle of the black.


45 feet controlled pairs. (too slow to be double taps). Combat accurate I guess. Put about 80 round through it. No problems.

Very cool. If I was ever to get a 1911 I'd go with SA, most likely the MC Operator. Nice project gun.

[DBH]

Very nice. I like it.

[The Dumb Gun Collector]

Very sexy.

Looks great! I love the simple no BS look and the lack of FCS are always a plus .

The hammer is a take-off part from one of my friends Colt Commander.

Very nice. I'm working on something similar, built around a Colt M1991A1.

By MEU/SOC project, are you referring to a Marine Expeditionary Unit/Special Operations Capable project? Haven't seen that jargon for a number of years, I miss the Corps.

Yes. Old skool, before the MC operator buzz.

Semper-Fi,
