Close, but No Cigar
The instructions insist one use a hand drill for drilling the three holes required. I used the drills provided and used a hand drill with a bubble level to drill the holes exactly as described in the manufacturer's Website. The rear 3mm hole did not line up with the holes in the rear rail/sear frame. Also, they no longer supply the end mill described in some of the ad copy. Once the slide I need and the frame parts kit are again available, I will be able to see if it can actually be assembled into a shootable pistol.
