Look up "deerslayer" in the member list and email him. He can make the stock for you and stain all of your wood to match.

Results.
A tommygun slide will not slide into place on my MGC gun. Checking things quickly with a caliper, you would need to remove .05 inches from the MGC frame to get it to fit. That would probably take about 2 minutes with a sanding block and sandpaper.
I could, just barely, get the MGC slide onto my numrich frame.
I don't have time right now to post a picture of all of this but the MGC frame was just a little bigger across the bottom than the channel in the slide.
Hope this helps.

I could easily fit the slide to the MGC without modifying your "gun" at no extra charge. Best if I had the frame in hand though.

TommyGunner can fit a stock slide assembly very well to your MGC frame if you send it to him. I have a Numrich 28 frame that was "odd size" and a normal slide assembly would not fit. After sending the frame and slide to Tommygunner; it fit perfectly.
He does good work and has a fast turn around on work.
Have you ever considered going to a functioning 1927? They are just as nice to look at, and you can shoot it too. With the help of some fellow members of this board, you can have a VERY nice, functioning gun. For $200 and ATF aproval, you can have one that looks just like a 1921 and functions (except no full auto.)
If you want to see a 1927 at it's best, follow this link to the old board. It belongs to Lionhart (lucky b@$t@rd!).

With all due respect, one must also check local laws regarding the short barrel rifle conversion. Unfortunately, we here in Michigan are not permitted to own such firearms unless on the Curio & Relic list.

Cool - might be some 82d Goodies in it for you!
When I get some more "loose" $$$ I'll get my hands on a stock & contact you
AIRBORNE!

Everytime I see your project, I am astonished! I'm still saving up to have the PK magic done to mine.

Thought you might like to see these. I can't stop playing with them! I am about to hook up my 27 and will have Deerslayer make my wood for sure.

BTW...PK and Devlin set the bar with Project X. I have given much thought and haven't come up with a substantial improvement yet! Great guns!

MGC made two types of plug fires. One used a hollow "round" with a simple paper cap pushed inside. The chamber had a hollow post that would strike the cap when the round chambered. This was the older type.
The newer one used a plastic cap somewhat similar looking to a typical muzzle loader cap. The chamber had a solid post. The plug fire round is the same size as a .45 acp. The top and bottom part screw together and inside a cap can be placed to make the thing work. The solid post hit the internal parts of the round to make the cap explode and thus power the ejection. The rounds usually sell for at least $5 when you can find them.
