Utterly Mad

One of the other guys saw my slide kicking around and nicely cerakoted it - I was expecting a few weeks before I'd have time to get it done myself. So, that's coming along nicely.

The rest of my parts are probably around 3 weeks out, so I must unfortunately be patient. I ended up getting a pretty basic two piece full length guide rod coming - I don't subscribe to long being better than short, but figured what the hell. Also ordered both of these:





Whichever looks better stays on this one, the other one goes on the next one.

And some of these:



which in retrospect are the wrong style. But I guess we'll see.

I've got a few more little internal parts and knicknacks coming that I'll talk about if they actually end up in and on the gun.

Besides that, I need to decide how to do the engraving. I talked with one of my buddies here, and he suggested a bright wood medallion, since lasers won't go deep enough into most metal to prevent rub issues. I might also just have the ruger logo gone over - buddy put a thin coat on this thing, so it still shows up a little bit, and wrecks my plan of putting something else where it was. That's still probably for the best, since thick cera looks ugly. I dunno :s. I was seriously planning to have three weeks to figure that shit out.
