First 2 Done
Finished up my first 2 2011s recently. Thanks to everyone that helped with the slide fitting issue I had.
Builds went pretty good. Mosin virus, Hayes, and engineers armory were all helpful for different aspects.
Had lots of trouble with the hood/upper lug situation. And then of course the lower lugs were tedious to fit.
Way over cut the triggers. Both are pretty loose. But using them for now.
Only specialized tools I really used were the barrel alignment block, barrel holder, and reamer. I bought the lower lug cutter but it was terrible. It would not cut the lug evenly no matter what I did.
Atlas slide and barrel. Cheely frame and grip. Small parts are either egw or atlas.
I put 50 rounds through each before blending. Had the triggers screwed all the way in so the guns would only fire when using the top of the trigger. But the triggers are now in the 3-4 pound range and working great.
These builds were a ton of learning. Ton of frustration. But I am very happy with them in the end. Right when I finished I said “never again”. But now a couple weeks later and I’m already planning my next builds.
Need to get some mag holders and these will be used hard at USPSA and 3 gun.
