STI one-pc guide rod, drilled for take-down pin, EGW sear, EGW disconnector, EGW mag well, EGW extended ejector, Ed Brown hammer strut, Ed Brown smooth beavertail, EGW pin set, STI Commander hammer, EGW oversized slide stop, SS, STI ambi thumb safety, Krebs thumb shield, STI long wide frame, STI undercut grip, Aluminum MSH, 17# MS, STI flat trigger,
STI slide, FS & RS, Dawson FO front, Caspian adj. Rear, Nowlin bull barrel,
2# trigger. Not sure about the extractor. Was ready to put in an Aftec, but I had this one in a bag, fitted it, and it works just fine.
I bought this frame several years ago on one of the auctions site, really cheap. If you look close, you can see where the owner before me welded up and reblued the C-More mounting holes when this was an Open gun. I fitted the slide, barrel, etc., since I wanted a new Limited gun. Looks a bit unusual with the long/wide frame and standard slide, but it gets some weight out front without adding to the slide weight, and shoots really flat. I have one of the STI Recoilmasters in my Open gun, but it didn't shoot as flat in this gun, so I used a standard spring set up. I have been really unhappy with the current crop of Swenson thumb shield safeties, so I opted to go the Krebs-style route, which requires a bit of milling on the frame. I don't need the shield for weak hand shooting, so it worked out fine. Now to find some Krylon Fusion in flat black...........:)
It's all fun.
As always, thanks to Dave Skinner and George Smith for making such great products and for being such nice guys.
