Caspian officer frame cut for bobtail, brand new Para 15.40 commander slide. Had to just be touched up to get them fit.

Plan is 10mm CCO
Would really like a threaded barrel which I think forces to me a Schumann bull barrel. If I don't go threaded there is a good deal on barsto right now on midway though.

Rest will be pretty standard I think but this is a long winter project with intent on finishing by spring. Will update as I make progress

Midway had a bar sto 10mm commander on clearance for 170 so I snatched it up. Took me about 2.5 hrs to fit the hood. Never done it before. I used the work sheet which showed me how much to remove off each side. Hood is still too snug but I'm calling it a night.


Not wild about the bushing they sent with the barrel so that will probably get swapped out for an egw when I order my non radius slide stop
