I won the frame in a raffle back in January, one of the last MGB had, so I had to get a MGB slide for it. Gledhill Custom did the stippling.
I had to do some etching just to push this build over the top
I use Socom black then brushed it with a fine sandpaper for a worn look then use Boob green.
The stippling had a olive green paint, I came close to a matching it but I'm a shade off.
She's got all the good stuff
Rook Rails and pins
Timney Trigger
UPK and LPK all came from my parts box for now but I will be getting some Tyrant lower parts. I just love the looks and they have work great in my builds without a problem.
I believe the barrel is a Lone Wolf match barrel. I bought several a last year, this is one I had left over from an older build.
In my last three build I have used the Rook safety plunger, they seem to make the slide rack smoother without a lot of hand polishing.
One problem I have is with the aluminum magwell. I bought a bunch a while back and this is the first one I have used, all three will not take a OME mag. Aftermarket mags work fine. The problem has to do with the inside angle is to small, the thicker butt plate will not let the mag seat all the way up, so I will reshape and repaint them. Good thing I didn't mold in this magwell like I do on all my other builds or this would have been a major redo.
So here is what I started with
hope I didn't make anyone made but I had to do some frame mods and paint to match a full build frame mads: all sharp edges are gone the barrel step rounded Square trigger guard gone increase finger cut under guard
