Do you find that the PDI Barrel "meshes well" with the Nova barrel bushing?
Did you see the Vicker's type magwell made by Nova ( link)? They seem to match the magwell in this picture which attached to a slide/frame that looks a lot like the Nova kit you and I have. Perhaps the Nova kit was modeled after the real-steel 1911 in the picture? I almost want to copy it exactly... |
I actually found the Vicker Pistol only recently....and when I first built that one that magwell was not available and I bought the only one that was out there...
PDI barrel and Nova bushing is of no issue....the fitting of another barrel to the slide that was originally used with the SD was more of a problem. PDI barrel's bottom "cam"(the profiled tab that rides on the hop-up chamber) is slightly taller and different shape....had to do more filing to get the gun to return to battery properly....
I think the only way to use flash is to bounce it....
