| If you are building a Para Ordnance Warthog frame (like the frames sold by SARCO); the grip screw size is as follows: 6-48 TPI x 3/16. I went to my local True Value hardware store and purchased eight O-Rings at .29 cents a piece and eight grip screws at .59 cents a piece. The total cost was $7.00 total. I hope this helps any builders. |

Thanks, JD. I just picked up a low mileage used Warthog from somewhere around 2004, and getting it running well. The spare/proprietary parts for these things seems to be Sarco and Numrich, and these are sparce. I found the mag catch and trigger shoe/bar, as the primary frame specific parts. I have not checked too many other parts for uniqueness. EGW sells an oversize extractor to replace the Para Power Extractor, which I am not fond of. EGW also sells a 3" 1911 recoil assembly that fits a lot of different models, and fits the Warthog perfectly. You can then use ISMI off the shelf springs. I had a P10 way back in the day, and it's funny I have come back to it. Once I wring things out, it will definitely be carried. It's a crazy little beast, and super simple to belt or AIWB. Craig |

FC, I cannot specifically address the 9mm mags, but in the 45 size, the mag situation is a little goofy. When you buy from Sarco/Numrich/Ebay, in the 45 they will list model numbers but it is not terribly perfect. I picked up a couple of 10 round standard capacity 45 that actually hang below the frame a 1/4 inch or so. Others I have picked up fit flush. I have found actual Para marked mags, Mec-Gar and the ones that protude a fuzz are unmarked. My 14 round extended mags to fit and run, albiet sticking way out. I did see one guy on Youtube doing sleeves via 3-d printing, but it was an old video. If you jump into these old Para's, plan for a lot of head scratching, and a bit of frustration. |
