I stopped keeping track of how much time I spent on it a while ago, but I would guess I'm somewhere around 30 hours. I've gone through a ton of trial and error, but pretty much everything works now. DA/SA is pretty clean. The trigger bar needed quite a bit of work to get it to go far enough forward to engage the safety lever and pull the sear. The safety lever itself also needed some adjustment. The takedown lever is extremely tight right now and won't turn freely. I'm working on it with some 160 grit but it will probably take some time yet. Once I get my replacement slide stop lever and hammer stop (casualties of my impatience and lack of experience), I should be able to put the whole thing together again for one last full function check before re-bluing and posting the photos of the entire process.
From the obvious frustration in some of the posts it sounds like some people bought these expecting only "some assembly required". While it turned out to be more work than I expected I feel I've learned a lot about the workings of this gun; more so than I would have if I only had to put it together. If Dlask ever made a different kind of kit available (maybe a 1911) I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up. It's been a great learning experience.
This is an interesting thread. It's too bad they don't seem to be working out so well.
I have an offer. I'll trade anybody their bare frame for $50 off any handgun in my inventory. I will then give the frame away to anybody who doesn't currently own a handgun but has a valid RPAL and club membership. This will at least get another handgun owner on the books. Just an idea...

The "tooth" on the sear should fully grab onto the two notches in the hammer (safety notch and full cocked notch) right? ....If so, did you file/grind the tip of sear"tooth"(making it more pointy) or the notches in the hammer (making the notches wider)?
quick question... are all the internals SIG parts or were they also made by Dlask?
I wonder if SIG parts could/would interchange?
