So now i'm on the second phase of my mil-spec mods.
In the first phase I replaced the Hammer, Sear, Beavertail grip safety, and Trigger.
The parts are as follows: (if I remember correctly)
1) STI Hammer
2) SVI Sear
3) King's Drop-In Beavertail Grip Safety
4) Videcki Trigger
Many here have asked about the Kings Drop-In Beavertail Grip Safety so I have tried to take better pictures so anyone interested can see.
Here is a view from the rear:

Here is a view with the barrel pointing toward the ground and the mag-well toward the camera/viewer:
For the second phase, i've replaced the barrel with a Bar-Sto Barrel and the bushing with a Briley spherical bushing. I am also getting Novak Night-Sights
NOTE: what you see in the pictures are just temporary sights, not the final resultHere is a side view of my mil-spec as it is for the moment:
Here is the temporary front sight:
Here is the temporary rear sight:
After these modifications are complete I will try to finalize any further modifications I may want, which require maching, as I may have it refinished.
I think I will probably have it refinished in Rogard (c).
Any questions?
