GenTLe Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I recently got the tickle for a Mini-Egi 47mm build, also considering how cheap they comes (150$ shipped now from one of my trusted TDs). I have seen this great build from @Dlf member here: and I'm going toward that route. I just don't get how/where he managed to find the smaller CG... I mean... I can reshape the "half moon" part, but I don't thing it's possible, with standard tools, to reshape also the lever... Do you know if there is any source for a part like that? Thanks and cheers, GenTLe PS: I already tried to write a message to @Dlf but he has the mailbox full (or decided not to accept PMs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nothing ready made available - think you'll need to put in a lot of elbow grease to get what you're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem isn't the elbow grease I already experimented it with the mods I did on my 1665 case. The problem instead is the lever of the CG. If you look in this pic: you can see that the lever can't just be "filed" to the right shape, because there will remain no lever at all if I'll try to take away 2mm from it. It has been bent (but on SS I doubt it is feasible on so small parts) or created from scratch, which isn't exactly something doable without at least a little milling machine :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) OOKKKK, forget about this thread... I looked well pictures of the 341 on the web and the real crownguard isn't short. It's just beveled on the sides, so I'm not going to shorten the whole thing, but at most make it very flush with the case and bevel the external parts: Edited October 31, 2016 by GenTLe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Good observation - same holds for the vintage Egiziano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
