.50 Cal Shell Slide

Posted by Troy Hall on August 15, 2018 at 2:56pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Howdy Y'all,

Not sure if this is right forum for this.  I wanted a smaller slide for my CBG so I made one from a .50 cal shell casing.  It is marked SL 42, which means it is from St. Louis Ordinance, in St. Louis MO, from 1942.  A nice WWII era piece of brass.  Shined up nicely!  Looks good and plays well.  

Cheers,

Troy

      That's cool!  I had no plan to make it.  I was looking for a "lost" slide, saw this on my bookshelf.  Then a half hour later it was done.  :)
