The Coolest bushing Wrench...EVER!

[DogBonz]

This is the bushing wrench that my smith made me as an accessory for my damascus slide build that he is working on. It is a 5" 1911 built on a Caspian SS classic receiver and a few tricks.

Is this not the coolest bushing wrench that you have ever seen... I mean, come on... Do I have the best smith or what?

That thing is total sex.

What's the purpose of a bushing wrench? Can't it be done by hand?

Green

That thing is total sex.

you almost bought me a keyboard.

That's gorgeous. How much does your smith want for another one? I bet he could make a killing sellling those things here and on the 1911 forums.

 

[DogBonz]

I don't know

How much does your smith want for another one?

if anyone seriously wants one, here is his site:

I would think that's damascus steel, which is pretty hard, on another steel. Just seems like a good way to scratch up your pistol and part with your money for a shiny toy to me. I like my brass one.

thing is they are making a caspian slide out of damascus on a caspian frame, thats just the teaser pic

 

[DogBonz]

it depends

I would think that's damascus steel, which is pretty hard, on another steel.

If you don't harden it Damascus can be pretty soft. also, since the slide is hardened damascus, and the wrench is non-hardened damascus, it wont scratch.

i saw you post that on the 1911forum site in the caspian section, ive been waiting to see what it will look like. Ive been waiting for my kimber for 6 weeks now and looking at 1911's is about all that keeps me sane. I cant imagine how much thats gonna cost because i saw a pair of damascus 1911 grips go for 350

 

[DogBonz]

$350...

Holy cows...

Caspian "only" charges $225 for their damascus grips. I'm not paying for this, it's a gift from my smith.

That's one fine looking wrench there!

 

[Walkalong]

AWESOME - JUST AWESOME

For the man who has everything, a $350 dollar bushing wrench. Hmmm, I wonder if Brownells will start carrying these, right next to the $4 orange plastic ones? Nah.

It's very pretty but I like plastic.

And as much as I like 1911s I wish Gaston Glock had been alive back then to consult with JMB about disassembly design.

So pretty I wouldn't want to scratch it.
Plastic wrenches for me too.
