Glad you guys like the gun and that I sparked everyone to build one too. The latest pictures are with a bull barrel and recoil rod. The outer barrels for TM should work. It's funny how the bull barrel and recoil rod works in my WE but not in my TM 1911.

The sanding process probably won't take that long. I've done it with a glock before and it takes in total ~2 hrs or less. But I got a head start as I did the initial stripping of paint with a sand blaster.....then work from 200-400-600-800-1200 then hit it with mothers. I'd recommand some sort of clearcoat application afterward to protect the surface, as bare aluminum gets scratched up easily as well as oxidizes. With the above grades you'll get an almost mirror-like chrome effect, if you want a duller silver just don't go as high grade of sand paper(stop at 600-800) then hit with mothers.

Krame,
I've actually got my handgun, stripped it bare, removed the paint and now I'm sanding it like crazy, next up will be some polishing. Finally, I'm ordering a nice metal chamber, outer barrel and some Hogue grips. I just wanna say thank you for inspiring me to do this project.
