Lots of personal choice stuff in part selection. You can go cheap and spend easily 50% of what I did on parts.

A good pin set is vital...

Lots of choices with the grip safety. For this frame we needed a .250 radius beavertail. We like the Wilson part. This part will need fine blending for proper fitting. There is a compound curve that you can purchase a jig for easier fitting.

With experience with these parts in the past I knew I need a hammer strut.

The magazine catch is another personal preference thing. The slightly extended "tactical" part suits me well...

There are nice hammer/sear/disconnector sets out there. I've had good experiences with the Cylinder and Slide sets.

The mainspring housing is another part that brings on personal tasted. The flat housing in the tacti-cool part that all the hot dog customs wear. The arched housing is the standard option. I prefer the Wilson V Housing

Grip screw bushings.... The thin ones let you run thinner grips.

Thumb safety... Another part with many options. I like the standard size safety on my paper punchers. I apply thumb pressure with the larger ones.

Trigger... One last multi option part. Long, medium, short, W/WO OT adjustment, curved, flat.. Whatever fits you.

Many of these parts will require minor fitting. I'll fit it all up to be a functioning lower and then strip it back down and send it to accurate plating for industrial chrome plating. This frame will be a dedicated 22 with a Nelson Conversion. Means that the extensive work of fitting a barrel and slide do not exist in this application. Industrial chrome will make the frame rails slick and the perfect home for the slide of the Nelson upper.

You have chosen...wisely. And put 'spensive thoughts into my head.... I'm a flat MSH guy because I have stubby fingers.

I bought a Nelson conversion unit when Stan first mentioned them a while back. Here's mine mounted on a customized Colt Delta Elite lower. These units are accurate, reliable and a ton of fun. The threaded barrel option adds a bit of flexibility. Paul

So far as the industrial chrome goes... The main parts will go. Frame, grip safety, mainspring housing, and thumb safety are the obvious. Accurate Plating says install the grip bushings and send the hammer and sear pins.. The trigger, hammer, sear, disconnector, grip screws, and remaining pins and springs will stay home..
