    Oddly ended up with some time on my and i haven't posted any pics lately, Just thought I would put some up.

    I would love to spend my time just building on 1911's and 2011's. But I also just love working with my tools, and doing a variety of different things. It's nice to mix things up.

    Rem 700 install bolt knob, I did this one a little different, usually I lathe the old knob down and thread it while on the lathe but that is rough way to go because of the size and hardness on the knob. So I tried it on the mill with the CNC turning it down. Worked much better.

    I did chuck it up in the lathe to find and mark center





    You can see how much gets removed from on side. Slow work in the lathe

    Install Timney Trigger and assemble




    I seem to get a lot of requests for RMR cuts, here is a Gen 5 Glock 19 for serrations, RMR, Tall sights and Cerakote.








    Made this sldie racker for a CZ 75 dovetail when none that size were availble.



    Still have a 2011 or 5 cooking.

    Love the hard sided case with your logo and the foam cut outs, very nice!
    That in itself could sell guns, to have them delivered in a case like that.

    Of course your other work speaks for itself.
    Thanks for taking the time to share your work with all of us.

    Outstanding work Allen. Thanks for posting the photos. They really start the wheels turning thinking about what direction I should take with a couple of guns.
