WA SigGSR 1911 Alu/Steel
Well, I got bit by the bug again and
now have an almost completed SCW2 GSR project. Started with a Prime aluminum kit and lots up steel parts. Just a few more steel controls to buy and the piece will be done. Probably going to design my grips as well. Upgrade Components (so far): Prime Aluminum Slide/Frame kit Sheriff Steel polished Beavertail Sheriff Steel polished Ambi-Safety SD Steel Barrel Bushing SD Steel Chamber SD Steel Outer Barrel ProG4 Steel Slide Stop ProG4 Steel Trigger+Loop ProG4 Steel Hammer Kit+Sear ProG4 Steel Frame Parts ProG4 Steel SCW BBU ProG4 Steel Hop Chamber/Inner Holder ProG4 Brass Float Valve ProG4 Loading Nozzle CP Inner Barrel Lock Guarder Steel Barrel Ball AS 150% Recoil Spring Real GSR Revolution Wood Grips WA stock parts to be replaced: • Main Spring Housing (—> steel) • Mag Release (—> steel) http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_3255.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_3256.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_3257.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_3258.jpg |
Can't wait to see this actually...always wanted a GSR...
|
:) Just letting the paint dry on
the stock black controls. Now I may keep that old GSR metal slide I had for sale for almost a year! Probably strip one to silver for kicks. Same here, I was all over the Kimber's until everyone had one. The GSR has all the modern 1911 touches that Kimber has but with a different style. Full pics up on Sunday. |
Very curious on how the gun will handle with all the Prog4 steel internals. Can't wait to find out. Let me know if they are worth the money or not so I can put them on my WA infinities myself! :>
I was wondering what the advantage of the ProG4 Steel Hop Chamber is over the stock one. Its 1 piece.. is it for removing hop up for IPSC style shooting? |
I wish they make hop chamber for TM guns....

has already been firing fine for a while. I just took her apart to clean and snap the pics for this showing. Blow back is crisp, trigger pull is nice and smooth. SCW's don't suffer from minor weight gain on the slide, like a TM would, since the WA design kicks a fair bit harder and was designed to move heavyweight abs slides. Well the advantage of the steel hop chamber isn't much, other than being a one piece design, it eliminates a couple stock parts, screws loosening and splitting the unit, maybe losing seal... The unit is a nice solid fit with the slide stop keeping the barrel rigid. Worth the money for the minor gains but not a must have. Most SCW's and a fair amount of Magna's are fixed hop. This unit was for SCW, but requires a Magna inner barrel lol. It's a fixed hop design. I've found fixed ones on WA's shoot best with .25/.28's for a straighter, farther shot— like a TM shotty. You don't need hop indoors, the targets shot for CAPS aren't far enough to make a difference.

looks good.....errr I dont remember your name :|
I'm going to guess Steve. |
ahh...the GSR of my dream.....damn I want one...
|
this is just an epic level of awesome, nice job. mind my asking but how much was the slide/frame kit and the wooden grips? and where did you get them?
|
The Prime GSR metal kit sold for $350 US
at WGC more than a few years ago. Wood grips are simple double diamond style and can be found on eBay or real steel forums fs/ft. These just happen to be from a real GSR. Good wood grips will run you $40–80 US. |
is that kit only for WA guns or can it fit on other 1911 style handguns?
|
Polished slide and beavertail
|
damn that thing looks better everytime I see a picture of it.
Any chance I could drop by and see her first hand? -alex |
Very good looking pistol..! Great job.

Update
New steel beavertail sits nice and
tight (low profile), a la Novak Next, but still functions perfectly. Polished my spare aluminum slide, installed an SD steel front sight and SD steel barrel bushing. Stripped and painstakingly polished the Sheriff ambi-safety, installed. http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_3347.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_3346.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_3345.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_3344.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_3343.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_3348.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...h_IMG_3349.jpg |
