This one is a Freedom Wolf in 9mm
Gen4 slide by Zaffiri
Gen5 barrel by Zaffiri
RSA Gen5 from LW
LPK a mix of LW and Tyrant
LW trigger housing and bar with a Serpico shoe
UPK Glock OME with a Rook smooth operator safety plunger
Tyrant back plate
Suppressor height sights, steel not aluminum (not sure on brand,
my Tyrant sights would not fit with the SwampFox red dot)
This is something new for my builds (TRIGER CUT) Wolf Paw
Another new cut for me in the Glock Knuckle cut.
Double undercut with a narrowed front finger groove on trigger guard
It is hard to see but I put in a relief cut for your index finger that goes all the way into the trigger. If you have large hands with short fingers believe me, this feels great.
I increased the radius on the magwell to reduce that GOD AWEFULL stock one.
There is not much you can do with the stock magwell because of the way it fits but with the trigger under cuts and the adding of a bigger radius on the magwell it does fit my large had like a tight glove, this helps with dealing with recoil and getting back on target faster. (No slipping in hand)
I all so filled in the back of the magwell so you get a smooth solid look and feel with it being molded in and don't have to look at those seams and pins with the stock look.
The stippling is a two tone, one giving the look of fur or armor that wraps around the back and joins the Wolf on the other side.
The second type of stippling is just a random small tip.
First, I did a coat of dull brass (looks like antic gold to me)
Then I did a coat of Black Chrome
my plan was to use gold as a base coat and brush, but it didn't turn out as I wanted, so I just left the Black Chrome and added gold with a felt bob like a roller to cover the areas I wanted a dab of gold to show.
I mix all paint with 180 additives to reduce cure temps to 200-225 for 2 hours. On most builds I like to finish with a clear coat but this time I didn't because I did not want the Black Chrome to look satin or flat. I have a clear pearl, but I haven't tested it out yet to see how it effects colors. Maybe next build.
I forgot to mention about back strap on the grip, the seam that shows when you install the hump or no-hump, back strap. I was able to blend it all into the stippling and there are no seams showing. Makes this build have a solid look and feel.
I know it's a cheap flashlight but until I become part of a swat team, I refuse to spend hundreds of dollars on a flashlight.
I like these Freedom Wolf frames; they have plenty of plastic for carving into whatever your custom build needs.
