THE CZickness LII....Autumn or Fall? No matter...season is right for a CZ!

On a roll, he is.

There should be rules on decorum and behavior around here.

but just a bit?

Well, in writing anyway.

Good Morning : My People.!!

These times they are a changing.!

Morning. Getting some practice in this morning before my schedule is no longer my own for the day.

"1911 Ball Cut"

I like the look of this and it's pretty straight forward. 3/8" ball end mill. Lines up the cut with the frame dust cover. Pretty sexy on a clean slide without front serrations. I don't have a frame to check this slide width (and the slide is junk anyways). This will go into production on my Remington R1S and Tisas .45 bobtail.

My practice work




Not as sexy with serrations in there, but still better IMO.

I’m bringing my SA DS too. Just CZ styled. ;-)

Now that’s purdy…..

Mill shenanigans.

Playing around with angle of bevel on the lower slide edge. 5 degrees (shown on slide) made for too tall of a cut. 10 degrees (on the smaller rectangle test piece) was exactly what I was looking for. Not taking off too much material while giving the exact look I want.

And recorded an episode of "Why he do dat". Today's episode "Internet says you can cut slide serrations with a modified tap". It actually works!!! I could only find one spare tap that fit any of my collets though (M7-1.0).

Yes, I know my test piece is sticking out way too much from the vise. Better results with a new tap and a more rigid test piece.

I used a tool similar in concept to that years ago to cut flat top serrations on the top of a slide.

Nice job, ball cuts are one of the things going on the Ronin 10mm project.

If I was going to do this for a living, I'd buy the cutter made specifically for this job from Evolution Armory.

That's a nice one the old one I had was from Brownells and not as executed as well as that one.

If’n it weren’t fer bad behavior I wouldn’t have no behavior at all.

I should have been more specific on the terms....

I wonder if that is how Colt made the serrations on the old "nail file" 1902s.

Looking good!!

Was that factory?

Yes. Colt had a variety of serration types and locations on the 1902 before it's demise. Most all come early in it's manufacturing when they are getting various opinions from the army, Colt shopping the gun to them. They standardize on the serrations and location which we are all familiar with on the 1911, but it's the 1902 where all the experiments were done.

Teddy Roosevelt was fond of this model.

What kinda fun would that be?

Ladies and Gentlemen!
If (and only if) you've been invited to the FGE, I would appreciate very much, a pm letting me know what you plan to bring. Tomorrow I start thawing brisket and pork butt so it will be roastable in time.
