Fit my first safety(And installed gunner grips!)

[jonathon]

And it went smoooooothly :supergrin:

Saftey works, no sear movement and the safety operates nice and smooth. I used an Ed Brown narrow, extended safety. One thing I noticed is the Ed Brown once finished had a lot more metal contacting the sear than the stock Colt did...

Oh yeah, here's the pics. Also got some Ed Brown grip screws :thumbsup:

J, if you still have any daylight out there, can you take a close up pic of the grip safety when it is pushed IN ?

Thx

[jonathon]

Sure..

No light left, will have some tomorow, though the weather is supposed to be nasty :sad:

Good eye, Scott.


Jonathon,

You can stop now before making the rest of us even more envious. ;)

[domzilla9]

how do you test the sear for movement with the newly fitted safety engaged?

jonathon,

I dig those grips!

Mind if I ask where you got them, and do they come in other colors?

DD~

Got the grips from Brownells, they are $60 from them.. probably not the cheapest place to get them, but with their "discount" they are $48.

On sear movement, you just assemble the gun without the grip saftey installed, gives you a clear view of the saftey and sear engagement.
