Myself ... I love to tinker and if I take my time things usually work out pretty good. If I rush ... different story!!!

Fitting a steel slide to an already fit up alloy frame is a challenge. I can't just lap the two pieces together (the alloy frame is anodized and fit to the DW slide so I don't want to screw that up). So ... I am using a sacrificial stainless frame (I happen to have one hanging around) to fit and lap. It is almost there. I have the barrel fit to the slide and now just have to mill the slide to accept the reverse plug. It's been fun!

It sounds like a great project. What Barrel are you using in 38Super?
Can you post images when you are finished?
Good Luck!

I am using a Storm Lake Bull Barrel and a Fusion slide with a flat/serrated top. I will gladly post pics ... we all love pics!

Maybe I will start a new thread and detail the progress ... slow as it is!
