whosloosin92 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Nova kits a probably very close to drop in. If I had known exactly what I was doing very little or no sanding and filing would have been needed. I ended up with a slightly loose 1911 though because I was inexperienced.

Romulus Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I like it. Certainly doesn't look anything like a stock TM 1911A1 though. What are the internals like? Link to post Share on other sites

wwjkc Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I like it. Certainly doesn't look anything like a stock TM 1911A1 though. What are the internals like? still waiting for the loading nozzle and the valve stop, there's a RCC brass valve in it, haven't had a chance to shot it yet, but i am sure it'll be good Link to post Share on other sites
Zmarre Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Just got my Hogues 2ndhand from this forum for my WA SCW3. I like touching it in nasty ways. I like to handle it. I like to shake it. I like to wield it. Damn yes I would like to skirm with it (or what'd you think?) Link to post Share on other sites
chris u'5 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Possibly...i would cover it in bubble wrap though Link to post Share on other sites

SigPro552 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Agreed, and that kit is of impressive quality. Maybe I will reconsider picking up that Kimber kit......... Link to post Share on other sites
Renalan Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hey guys, I just got the slide from this kit, PGC MEU(SOC): And none of the Novak rear sights I have fit in the slot. How awesome is that... Anyways, does anyone know where I can source a rear sight that can fit into this kit? Link to post Share on other sites

my_plague_666 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 well its better than one thats covered in chips and scratches to the paint so shut it! wear = win raped with tan krylon = ugly. that one sure as hell doesnt look new, personally if i was going to have a used looking gun i'd have good honest wear and tear (e.g. chips, scratches etc) rather than a rather random paintjob.

Spedz Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I think if he replaced the grips with a Tan one it would look pretty impressive. Link to post Share on other sites
