Custom work by : South Ridge Arms & Refinishing
Here is one of My latest projects this is a first generation Delta Elite, It was bone stock never fired. My wife bought it for me as a birthday present. so me being me and and potentially isolating myself from the purists , I decided to do some custom modifications and turn it into my everyday Carry gun and shooter. So here is what I did.... . Cut new dovetail's and installed Novak night sights . Cut front cocking serrations . Complete dehorn (carry bevel) . Cut and blended Ed Brown grip safety . Polished the feed ramp and barrel throat . Tuned extractor and Ejector for reliability . Installed a titanium firing pin and fit a over sized firing pin stop . Installed a extended safety lever "single side" . machine checkered 20 lPI on the front strap . Bobtail and blended mainspring housing to frame . Complete trigger tune using C&S internals set to 3 1/2 lb. with 0 creep . Trigger modification to remove take up . Bobbed the VZ operator II grips and inlet the medallions    Last edited by SouthRidge on Mon Jun 18, 2012 12:50 am, edited 8 times in total. |

Actually I've seen this gun. It's fantastic.

 I've heard such rave reviews of the stock Delta Elite pistols . . . this new-and-improved version must be pretty special! If that's what your "everyday shooter" looks like, I'd love to see what you consider a safe queen.  _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

I was not aware the good people of Orting are allowed to have things that nice.

I have worked on a bunch of Dan Wessons and other Delta's I would have been happy with either . But to acquire one with no work done to it was great... So in between other jobs I would sneak mine in. It was hard because I didn't have enough time so it took me the better part of three weeks.

I mean, I'm sure I've never had a gun project take three whole weeks....  Heck, that would have taken most of us the better part of three YEARS.... _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.
