So my buddy up in West Virginia sent his old Para P-16 .40S&W down for a little love. Told me to do whatever I could with it. It was in pretty rough shape, but we were able to clean it up a little bit. We tri-topped the slide, added a few lightening cuts, textured the front strap, machined a new dovetail for a FO front sight, and installed a new Wilson Hi-Ride ambi safety.
