Given that I'm a volunteer for Project Blazing Sword, I figured it was about time I had a .22 pistol. No one at the Fun Show this weekend had a Whitney Wolverine for sale, so I picked up a 22/45 Lite instead.

(And anyone who says that Bill Ruger didn't hate gun owners has never had to strip & reassemble one of these things. :x )

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.

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:

* STI Unique Slide 1911 Government 45 ACP STI Front Sight Cut and Bo-Mar Rear Sight Cut, Rear Cocking Serrations, Steel in the White (hand-polished on felt wheel)
* STI Adjustable Night Sight Set 1911 STI Front Cut and Bo-Mar Rear Cut Steel Blue Tritium
* STI Firing Pin Stop 1911 45 ACP Series 70 with Bo-Mar Sight Cut Steel Blue
* Les Baer Custom Deluxe Match Commander Hammer and Sear 1911 Steel the White
* Ed Brown Mainspring Housing Flat with Drop-In Maxi-Well 1911 Government, Commander Checkered 25 LPI
* Wilson Combat Extended Thumb Safety 1911
* Wilson Combat Bullet Proof Extractor 1911 45 ACP Series 70
* 1911 FIRING PIN (.068")
* Ed Brown Beavertail Grip Safety with Memory Groove 1911 Series 70
* Wilson Combat Complete Pin Set 1911
* Wolff 24lb recoil spring set.
* Wolff 23lb hammer spring

Stocks are faux ivory with faux Delta Elite medallions (yes, orientation is intentional).

Is the trigger stock Springfield? One of the things I want to replace is the Delta's smooth and rounded trigger.
