Nice

I love the way they did the slide stop. They are great guns. Lucky you.

Well crud... Here I got all excited when I saw your post title - i thought someone had put pistol stocks and a laser site on an old vickers machine gun. lol

 

[Rinspeed]

Wow, that is very sweet. I expect a full review after you get it.

 

[Ala Dan]

Slide Stop cut flush and countersink

I understand why you would want the slide stop cut flush but what is the purpose for the countersink? Just curious...

EDIT: btw, beautiful gun!

Thanks everyone for your kind words, i thought the countersink would help in disassemble and it looks different. Now to be honest , i hope when i see the gun in person, the countersink is not as big as it looks in the picture.

 

[MaterDei]

Now that you mention it I can see how it would help in disassembly. fwiw, I think it looks just fine. That is one fine pistol, enjoy!

I wish I had the countersink, it would make it much easier.

Those are Larry Davidson grips. I've got the same on the GI I customized. Sweet gun.

Thanks, the grips are Mil-Tacs.
