Nova kit?
How are you planning to modify your mag bumper? Just reshaping it with file and sandpaper or what? Have you taken the mag apart yet to see if its just a big piece of ABS plastic? BTW I'd try to get the Kimber Chamber and barrel from SD(I think they make them right?). The aluminum ones that comes with Nova looks nice for like 2 slide cycle, and they get beatup really quickly. Though the SD one will be tougher to fit.... Nice gun, can't wait to see it done. Last edited by RacingManiac; August 28th, 2008 at 08:28.. |

Freaking nice build right there Illusion, I love the chocie of grips. I got the same exact one for my 1911 and they're freaking amazing.

The aluminum Nova chamber/barrel does get scratched up pretty good, but they register really really well with the slide. The sound of this slide operating sounds like sex butter. I thought about going with the SD one as well, but the idea of the steel mashing the Nova slide to pieces didn't sit well with me - I decided to just stick with the Nova one for now, since it does seem to be operating nicely. The downside of this build is the weight - or lack thereof. The SD steel barrel & chamber would add some weight to the all aluminum body. The grip panels also don't have the hollow to accept the weights that come with the Marui 1911, so this gun is probably lighter (if not the same weight) as the stock gun. |

I find mine weighs a decent bit, probably because I also have the full length recoil rod and comp kit on mine. The Kimber chamber thread I'd imagine is the same as the Hi-capa thread, so you need to get Hi-Capa 5.1 straight barrel for that if you want to go that route. The barrel and the slide fit is OK with the SD parts. No where near as hard to mess with than the BBU and the frame thing that comes with my Nova kit. The nicest thing IMO on the whole Nova kit thing is that the "clunk" you get when cycling the slide. The fit is much less sloppy than my Hi-Capa. I also have all Nova controls minus the trigger and mag release(Nine-Ball and Stock). They are nice, but for mine they are slightly different color than their MBK, I wonder if I should've just gotten the stainless ones instead. The Ambi-safety has a bit of slop to it that I don't like, but it functions and looks good. Though I think mine was actually the wrong one for a SFA gun(mine was I think Kimber style).
One thing of note, the SD outer barrel is slightly bigger OD(probably less than 3 thou) than the stock or the Nova barrel, I had trouble using it with the PDI comp kit, I had to turn that down a bit to fit, which obviously made the finish in that portion uneven compare to the rest.... |

Gaah...I love it. I was considering a Kimber build for my next project.

I finally got around to taking some pictures of the complete build (with the safety levers installed!):

I hate you. Teasing is so wrong.
... But that gun, however, is pure sex.

I recently got the nova warrior kit too. Beautiful piece of kit.
I've encountered some problems that you might be familiar with. First of all mine is MEU based.. How did you go about modifying the rear plate on the slide. [I just omitted this piece] Did you have issues fitting the stock trigger and mag catch? [I had to file them both] Lastly what was your workaround to getting the BBU installed? Mine sat too low. Had to remove a little nub on the rear sight. [im using hicapa 5.1 BBU on it] Stock MEU safety leavers won't install. [currently only has the left side installed] Grip screws are too tight on bushings. Front sight is too loose. It won't stay on.

Wait till my 1911/2011 hybrid thing is done. Then I'll laugh at you....
