The lite mount was removed beacause it didnt like the safariland:

Would love to replace the slide as its privious owner used it with a SERPA etc and it shows a bit of rub. Only problem is UNcompany have sold out of replacements :(

James.

[Mobius Strip]

Ah, that's better :D

I prefer it without that tacked on rail; cleaner lines and all that.

As for your replacement slide, you could always get the porting slots machined in a 'standard' compatible slide.

I don't run lites on my 1911's anyway. Only nice 1911 lites are Surefire x200 on a railed frame and Surfire 610r.

Good idea but then I would need to have it engraved with the trades from the stock slide. So it would probably have to be a whole custom machined slide.

Western Arms SCW 2/3 Bob Chow Special Ver. 1.5 custom with Prime metal kit

Bob Chow Special......it's one of those guns that I should have bought along with the metal kit the moment it came out....but I didn't. By the time I'd realised I was being "strong" for no reason - it was too late, they'd sold out.

Years passed then thanks to a second hand sale on the forums I managed to pick up a barely used metal kitted Chow, and it was built on the rarer 1.5 version to boot!

The gun despite loving care had a few minor blemishes and being the ultra fussy type I am, decided that a complete refinish in acid etch primer was in order for the slide and frame. The refinishers used extra acid to bond to the anodised finish.
Whilst the gun was completely stripped, I got my own ready prepped parts to drop in to the refinished slide and frame as well as replace parts with new from stock where necessary to complete the 'new gun' feel.

This particular Bob Chow 1911 was based around a National Match pistol .
Of particular note to this gun is the rounded edges on slide, frame and all major components with a 'melted in' Triangle rear sight which is rounded for a snag free draw and "reholster" ;)
The stippling on the front strap and mainspring housing is also pretty unique.
I also used the opportunity to look at Mr Chows choice of parts and although I like the smoothed edges of the parts, some other items were to be changed out to suit a blended edge snag free type 1911 whilst keeping within the look of the era that I felt were more fitting and aesthetically pleasing.

WA SCW3 Bob Chow Special Ver. 1.5
Prime Bob Chow kit
SCW3 uppers, SCW2 lowers
Commander hammer - in lieu of spur hammer
Scalloped grip safety - replacing the large paddle grip safety
Extended single sided slimline thumb safety to replace Swenson Ambi safeties
Steel chamber swapped for a WA metal alloy chamber
Grip clip removed
Usual internal tweaks, too many to list!

I was after that! very nice Matt but would look better with a new trigger. Maby a three hole or something.

Can I buy the royal blue parts you took off it? :P Would like to put them on my WA Sigarms GSR project :)

Hehe, 'dunno about one of them new fangled 3 hole triggers' on this gun ;)

As much as I was after an all black gun, I may yet change bits around (knowing how fickle I am) which is why I daren't sell any of the original bits on. However if you're not after specifically 'Chow' parts, send me a PM and we can go from there :)

demoncase - some good work there, and crazy paintjob on that Cougar!
