    I like my 34. I'm happy with my 35. I enjoy my 5" PPQ the most.

    Installing Crimson Trace grips which lead to ambi safety issues, which lead to disassembly then some cutting and grinding then polishing and psuedo refinishing then some more polishing of other components

    So did this owner but apparently there are 2 different styles and sadly, these were not them. A stubby ambi safety should work but this pistol was equipped from the factory with long length ambi safeties so, the decision was made to cut it and hope for the best lmao lucky me

    Nice work..... what tool did you use to do the cutting?
    Moto-tool with large abrasive cutting disc chocked into bench vice. Taped the save area off then cut 2 45°angles into it from opposing sides. Swapped disc for sanding/grinding stone and rounded off the cut area. Then a smaller one to semi bevel the edges and finished with small wire wheel to blend and smooth. Polished it all up then darkened with Sharpie and refinished with blueing pen. Once dried oiled and Lubed and whaa-laa what you see is the end result.

    Met up with a guy this morning and sold my Mosin. Now I'm on the hunt for a Keltec P3at. I'm glad the Mosin sold before the Winchester, I really didn't want to let it go. LoL

    Built the "production" muzzle down, 24 gun, rifle rack after doing multiple mods to the prototype which is also a 24 gun muzzle down.
