I got a 98c from a friend of mine seeing as I am grounded for a month.  I am allowed to go out to the shop so I figured why the hell not, right?

After about 2 1/2 hours of work, I have a rough resemblence of what it will look like when finished.

Before:




After:




Hope you all enjoy it.   I should have it completely finished with the "milling" process as you all know it as by at most next weekend.  If I get off work early tomorrow and Saturday I will work on it then.  Polishing will come after that.

-------------------------------
Update February 25, 2006







To-Do List:
Finish up "Milling"
Clean up very, very, very carefully
Polish Internals
Trigger tweaking with help of Evil-98
Center Feed
Then finally, eventually painting or polishing or both.
Maybe some minor things like macro and such.

*Italics are done

Awesome job.  And you probably are going to do this already, but if you weren't planning on it: Mill the veloicty adjustment knub, "push safe" and "push fire" letters, and if you want the ridges on the sight rail (unless you plan on using a sight).

If you take off the grips, there is a rectangle piece on each side, get a hammer and a punchout tool and punch them out, it takes alot of the weight off.

I don't like the hole punching out idea.  I think it is kind of pointless seeing as the gun isn't all that heavy with the rest of the metal removed.

Enos: I've never seen your 98c.
