Ruger SR1911's - All Stainless.

[rbird7282]

Finally did my all stainless conversion. Thanks, Bollinger's!

original...

shitty iphone pics of how they look now. I'll clean them later and take some nice pics and post in the 1911 porn thread:

That is SEXY. Might have to that to mine. How much did the parts and work run you?

 

[Gcs7th]

Very nice, thats something to be proud of. I've wanted one for some time now maybe I should buy one before oct 1. Where'd you purchase your SR1911's?

 

[bikerbankr]

If you could PM the parts list to me, that would be great.

Ditto on the parts list PM. I wasn't sold on it at first but the more I stare at em...the more I like it..

Parts list added to OP.

Parts list:

Nighthawk Custom Extractor #M0079

Ed Brown Firing Pin Stop #820-S
Ed Brown Extended Mag Release (SS) #855-E
Ed Brown Gov't Mainspring Housing, Chainlink, Stainless #817C
Ed Brown Extended Safety, Wide, Stainless #891
Ed Brown Rebuild Kit, Stainless # 814-S
Ed Brown Hex Head Grip Screws, Stainless #810-S

Smith & Alexander .220 Grip Safety, Palmswell, S/S (849-009-127WB on Brownell's)

I went overboard and replaced some of the internals with WC parts too, it is definitely not necessary. The above list should do you just fine.

Beautiful, how much did all that cost?

Well... All that x2. Plus smithing. Too much, but worth it

I also replaced the ejector, hammer and sear on both with Wilson combat parts.

Beautiful work Brian!

Mine shot great right out of the box and looked good too.

So did mine... they say if ain't broke, don't fix it. OTOH... they're mine and I wanted to do it, so I did. haha. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but every day since I did it I love em more and more.

That and I kind of like having the only all stainless set in existence (to my knowledge at least).

I've never said this to a guy before, "nice set" .
Have you shot since the work?

 

[mxrider]

You are going to cost me too much money. Ill send you pics of the grips once I get them.

Amazing how I am already spending money on something I just got the paperwork done.

Haha, thanks.

I went to Hap on Sunday and put 50 through each. No problems. Gonna go again tomorrow I think and try to put 100 more through each one.

just when I thought I was done with mine....I see these pictures...lol

Very nice Brian!

Can you tell us where you ordered the parts (with exception of the grips - mine are on the way from Ruger!) for the stainless conversion? Was it from Brownell's? Also, who did the holsters? Very nice. I have a transfer coming at Bollinger's so why not consolidate a trip and have them do mine just like yours while I'm at it? Cheers!

Most of the Ed Brown parts I ordered direct from Ed Brown.

I think everything else was either Midway or Brownell's.

Holster is from Andrew's Custom Leather. He does fantastic work.

NOW DON'T GO COPYING MY SETUP COMPLETELY, YA HERE?!?!?!

Great looking Ruger you have there, I'm liking my SR1911 CMD more and more.

I sweat your rig soooo bad I actually emailed Bollinger's and asked for a quote on having the "full OCCBRIAN" treatment for my Ruger. Now I'm off to Andrew's Custom Leather site. Of course I can only ever be half a twin since I only have ONE SR1911. What is it they say about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery?

 

[kenpo333]

thanks for the parts list! Really helped in my search

 

[Sheepdog6]

Whew! I got chills and goosebumps from those beauties!!! Can't wait until I buy mine

I love those grips, too! If I wasn't planning on getting custom OEF grips, I'd definitely drop the 35 for those!

Are those 8 rd mags you have paired with your CMD as well? I know the CMD only ships with 2 7rd mags instead of the 7 rd and 8rd that come with the gov't model. I wasn't sure if the CMD model would fit the 8 rd mags.
