Props 1911 To M6d

[Deadandbroken]

I have a springfield 1911 Mil Spec. I was thinking of incorparating a fiberglass M6d housing over it and use set screws to keep it in place. Any input would be appreciated Here is a pic of it

It didnt work, "The action you are trying to do has failed"

i dont think it would work unless you make the pistol gigantic to cover the long barrel of the 1911 it wont work instead i sudgest using a p22 or a sig sauer style gun

yea no problem and if you use the 1911 then the handle will be out of preportion and are these real guns or fake

i am not very knowledgeable on how tough fiberglass is, but i wouldnt put it on the pistol action even if you did find a suitable match.

i'm not sure it could handle the stresses and fatigue, even if the screws would.

A fiberglass housing is perfectly feasible, and the 1911 Springfield is definitely a good idea for a base model.

How are you figuring on affixing the fiberglass body to the upper slide? I'd like seeing how you will work it around the hammer.

And a quick question: Is the Springfield the model with the 5" barrel? I know they sell other versions with shorter ones, as I am going to purchase one this week.

Oh - and I may just think about modding my Sig, now that it's been mentioned. It's a surplus one, so I won't be too worried about scratching it.

Keep up the good work, DeadAndBroken! Kudos for going 100% real!

Be VERY careful modifying a functioning weapon. ATF loves to go after people who modify weapons that don't have a gunsmith license. It is illegal in most states to modify a firearm so as to alter the look or function or the original design, unless authorized by the ATF or manufacturer. That's why stocks, access. and upgrade kits have to be approved by the ATF prior to release to the general population. And posting it up here raises a big flag for them to see...

But he still would probably want a license to do this....

I know you don't want to scratch or damage it but the baby eagle ( actually the .50 cal eagle) is almost the same action as the m6 series.
