New to me Caspian 38 Super Race Gun to Limited Modification - Before Photos

[ABD26]

Hi all,

I just purchased a used Caspian 38 Super race gun. It's a beauty, but it is a little dated, particularly the scope. I've decided to retrofit the gun since I prefer competing in the limited to the open class. Anyway, here are some BEFORE shots. The gun is with my local and super-talented gunsmith Eric Zinn. We're going to install front and rear sights, shorten the compensator, flatten the top, and clean up the scope mount holes. It will be a beauty. I post some after shots after a few weeks too.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Damn dude, I would have changed out the scope and mount and call it good
That's a nice blaster to be cutting up

If you shorten the comp, you will still be shooting in open. If you ditch the comp, but keep the same caliber, you will be shooting limited minor. I just don't get it.

Put a C-More on it and shoot open. Or sell it and get the limited gun you want.

Here's my older one [new to me] that's going back to into competition.

A year later, with a new Kart 9mm NM barrel, some cutting, a new Wilson like SDS waffle bushing (manufactured from the old comp), grips, and other stuff, here's what I ended up with.

To finish it, I'm going to polycoat it black, new hammer, blend, and clean it up a bit. It'll be an all purpose blaster. Love how it's turning out.

Looks very nice. I think I would add ball cuts to the slide. It would maybe blend the
front piece into the slide a little better. But then I just like ball cut slides! :-)
