Re: Ye Olde Pistol Picture Thread
Had dinner at AlaskaTRX's house tonight with his family. I took my Not A Rifle in .45 Colt, and for shits and grins we installed his SiCo Octane 45HD using my .578-28 piston and fixed barrel spacer. I probably have at least a couple months to go before I can get my own Octane out of NFA Jail, but the SBR stamp ought to be approved any $%*^&$*^&#% day now based on obsessively watching the data roll in at nfatracker. We haven't fired the combo yet.

I really need to get a form in for that short AR. Maybe 2 forms.

Ended up being more like 2-1/2 months on the Octane. Pictured here mounted on my G20 with the Beach Towel of Death.

Any chance you could send me your parts list? I've got a Delta Elite that could use some upgrades.FelixEstrella wrote:

Of course. Here there are no secrets. Starting with a Springfield lower (didn't muck with ejector or plunger tube), barrel, bushing, linkage, full-length guide rod, slide lock, and leaf spring, I added:Langenator wrote:Any chance you could send me your parts list?

Is the trigger stock Springfield? One of the things I want to replace is the Delta's smooth and rounded trigger.FelixEstrella wrote:Of course. Here there are no secrets.
