The parts function good more of the time, but material and finish quality suck.

A few years ago, you could have had an Illusion Kinetic kit. Made by/for a guy here and it was by far the best slides you could get.
I always wanted to get myself an Illusion custom, but I really regret never having done so. I've asked a few AV retailers here if they could source a quality conversion kit but I haven't had any replies so far. If someone could PM me a retailer that could help me source it, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'll give this a try, thank you for the recommendation. I attached a couple of pics of the slide, the first shows the scratching on the slide before I even installed it, and some bubbling as well. The second is after I installed the rear sight on it. Another annoying thing is the front sight doesn't fit on this slide at all, the slot for the slide is too big.
