I was looking at the pics of the barrel removed and the reciever. With out the flash hider is the barrel still 16" ? I am thinking about choping the barrel or removing it in one piece. Also i seen in the pics your refinishing the reciever? I noticed the finish is a little rough on mine any way to inprove the finish?

According to FN, the rifled length is a tad short of 15". The flash suppressor is required for a 16"+ overall length.

The Barrel is 16". The reason the hider and shroud are there is so that the weapon meets 26" overall lenght.

I will post this info on the web page tonight.

Yes there is. I should have Project X up on the site soon, where I mill, drill and refinish the surface of the casting and describe the process.

It's a lot of work and you must be detail oriented, but it's not difficult at all and nothing to be afraid of.

It's about a 20hr project from start to finish.

This i want to see. And is there any chance you might offer this as a service!!!!!

Here's a little teaser images for you.

This one has the top rails milled off about 1/4" and the rear is slightly at a more angle to contour the reflext sight. Notice the sight is completely flush and the 1918 picattiny rail is inside the receiver.

This gives me the same height of sight as the factory reflex - but much better sight picture and options. I can choose between a donught, or a point or a cross hair at different levels.

This particual attempt is made so that a new reflex can be mounted while preserving the possibility of putting back the original.

Notice the absence of the casting reliefs.





This one is going to be an attempt at a PS90TR



All I have to do here is weld on a picattiny rail and it's a done deal. (oh, black teflon the surface ofcourse)

Whether or not I would do this depends on the interest. I would not do a onesie twosie - deal. Too much prep time and hassle. Now If I get a commission to do 10 of these, then ..... who knows

Course, you need to see the final product.

WOW

That makes the casting look great. I am ready when ever you are lol. Defently want mine to look that smooth. Now just to see it finished

WOW--Very nice pictures. That looks like it should have come that way from the factory. Quality finished products always look much better ,and show a pride in manufacturing . Quality always shows best for a company in the long run on manuf.

yes this is how it should have been finished.. To ask people to spend 1700+ dollars and give them rough casts is wrong.. more guns would sell if they would just take some time and add the aesthetic touchs

Thanks
