Took a mill to an Hk...

[spyder]

So last time I showed pictures of my stuff, it was work done on some G30's. This time, it's my Hk USP. I'm just going to have fun with this gun. I'm going to end up doing absolutely everything I can to this gun, slide lightening (maybe more), matching the spring rate to the slide weight, I fit an aluminum weight to it that a friend made me, I'm putting a Delta Point on it recessed into the slide with the sights moved forward in front of it, Cerakoting the slide and weight Burnt Bronze, coating the Jarvis barrel with TiN along with a couple mags.... I might, might even flute the barrel. This is just an "all or nothing" gun for me. Anyway, here is what it looks like right now. I know you can't see it in the pictures, but the serrations in the slide match the angles of the serrations in the weight. The size of the serrations are different and so is the spacing, but I wanted it to also look good if I didn't have the weight on. For those of you that like the Match, but also hate the extra weight, that the weight has... the aluminum is awesome!

This is what it looked like with the weight's final fit...

I had to make an insert that fit like a glove inside the slide so I didn't crush anything in the vise.

Machining the serrations in the slide to the serrations on the weight.

What it looks like without the weight.

With the weight, but no barrel (still have to get it).


So, that's it so far. Still a long way to go.

Be honest... You have to be a little nervous when you started right?

It's my 12th gun I've done this with. The DRO on the mill makes it very very simple. All I have to do is take my time, and hit my numbers. The first gun I did (wife's G30), made me nervous. With everything set up right though, I didn't think twice about it.

When I read the title I was scared.... But that looks pretty good!

Amazing work there... breath taking for sure...


... I love the degree of angle you decided to take with milling out those holes...

.. really looking forward to all that you plan to do with this piece...


This is a wet dream I'd like to have...

You sir, are on to something! Keep the pictures coming! I might even have to ship you a slide or two, with some drawings, if this kind of service is available for purchase.
