What do you have in the hopper? In other words, what handgun are you going to have modified or what nice pistol are you going to buy?

Me? Marianne Carniak of the Accurizer Gunshop is working on my Bulgie Mak. What has she done and what is still waiting to be done? Marianne has installed Novak colt 380 Trijicon night sights. She is going to send the pistol to Dick Williams' Gunshop in Saginaw for checkering of the front strap on the grips. Dick Williams can machine checker at a reasonable price and the checkering will be 30 lpi.

When the Bulgie Mak comes back from Dick Williams it will then visit Virgil Tripp. While in Tejas it will be hard chromed.

I hope the Bulgie Mak turns out as well as the Frog (E9) and the Bull Frog (K40).

Again, tell us what you have in the hopper?

Regards,

Richard:D

[Mike Irwin]

At the moment, nothing.

[DonGlock26]

I have a P225 and P245 that I want to put trijicons on. I would also like to have them finished in NP3 someday.

[10-Ring]

Nothing right now...I've got grown up responsiblities that are the priority right now.

[Richard]

I hope I never grow up! Regards, Richard:D

[12GA]

I've got $500 saved up so far and I'm gonna' keep adding to it every week until I have enough saved up for either a Kahr PM9 or.... dare I mention it by name...a Rohrbaugh R-9. :what:

[ACP230]

Money's tight right now due to car repairs, but I'm keeping my eye out for a long-barrelled Smith M657. A Ruger Blackhawk in .41 is a bit farther down the list, along with a Ruger OU in 28 gauge.

[critter]

.357 SIG barrel for my Para Ord P-16 is on order!

[OF]

I'm a hair's breadth away from ordering a Springfield PX9109L and all the associated gear. I'm WAY psyched.

Gimme gimme gimme :)

[s&w 24]

as soon as I find some un wanted 44 mag dan wesson bbls I'll get tem put on my mod 29 ala Jim Cirrillo

[Desert Dog]

A 4" GP100...

[Nightcrawler]

I mailed my CZ-97 barrel to CZ-USA today, for a throat & polish so it'll feed hollow points. It's covered by the warranty, so all it'll cost me is the postage! :cool:

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

No pistols---but currently have a Springfield M1A and Eagle/Armalite flat top on lay-a-way.

[Skunkabilly]

Another Beretta but not sure which model yet.

[Ringer]

With $360 in my "gun fund" I figure I'm just past halfway to my next purchase. Unless something else gets my attention in the next few weeks I have a Sig P220 in the hopper.

[Greybeard]

A Ruger New Model Blackhawk .45 "convertible" is at top of the "want list". I might have to sell a spare Makarov tho for it to be acceptable with The Wife ... ;) In the meantime, an extended slide release sure seems like a "need" for the Glock 36 ...

[Sven]

This is in handguns, but the item in my hopper is a custom National Match M1A, built from the receiver up.

Krieger Stainless 1-10 Barrel, Bead Blasted
Smith Enterprises Muzzle Brake
USGI Parts (TRW)
McMillan Stock

I've got the receiver and most of the parts... if only I wasn't saving for a house, it would all be done. I actually WAY exceeded my 'gun budget' over the past year, so I'm slowing down things a bit.

[Mannlicher]

Model 65 Smith

It has been back to S&W for a heavy three inch barrel, and the lockwork has been converted to DAO, the hammer is a factory bobbed hammer. Timing and all the lockwork tuned up and made right. All new wolfe springs.

Hogue LamoCamo grips, and a polish job. The gun likes the 140 grain Speer hand loads with Unique powder.

Now, if I could only decide on the finish!! I am still leaning towards a Walter Birdsong job, with olive drab frame and black cylinder. Brushed hard chrome is the other option. Until I decide, I am enjoying shooting it often at the local range.

[Brian Williams]

New sights for my Sistema 1911, Chip McCormick drop in rear and a new stake-in front

New WGRS peep sight for my new 1894c Marlin 357

Moonclips for my 940

find a very in-expensive S&W mod 58 hopfully P&R'd as a shooter.


build lightweight AR, Ace skeleton stock, ergo grip, DPMS lo-pro upper, ?????? lightweight barrel, ????? lower, M4 fore-end or free float aluminum, ????? holo sight

Send OM single six to Ruger get 22lr cylinder installed and have a gunsmith bore one cyl to 22mag. you gotta carry an empty chamber so why not have the mag available.

Anybody want a 22mag cyl swap for a 22lr.



Need leather for 4" 586. 1911, 3" 60, 4" tracker,


this is gonna take awhile.

[Standing Wolf]

I'm still thinking about a Volquartsen rebuilt Ruger: http://www.volquartsen.com/product.asp?pid=26 Every time I go into a local gun shop, I get distracted, and guns unaccountably follow me home.

[cool45auto]

A 6" barrel for my Beretta Neos and seeing about getting it a trigger job.

[C. H. Luke]

Am building {slowly!} a Glock 22 with a KKM barrel &
a Caspian slide cut for the Wilson adj. rear sight &
JP trigger.

[Stevie-Ray]

I can honestly say, for the first time in years, that I have zero plans to purchase any more guns. I am content.

[mainmech48]

A new Bar-Sto barrel installed on my S&W 4586 and a set of Novak "Extreme Duty" adjustable sights with tritium inserts as soon as they're available.

Extra fancy curly maple stock and fore end, hand checkered and finished using the old chromium trioxide and heat stain that brings out the figure and gives that beautiful deep chestnut color that you see on fine old Kentucky rifles for my Savage 99F in .308.

I'm also in the process of modifying one of my Uberti 1858 Remington cap & ball revolvers. Shortening the barrel to 5" and redoing the loading lever, sights, etc to fit. Also recutting the rear sight groove from "v" to square. Slow going , as it's been hard to get access to the machine tools at work for a "government job" lately.

Thinking about sending my 625 back to S&W for a Hi-Viz front /"V" notch rear sight set. Got to to shoot a guy's 317 "Kit Gun" with those on it the other day at the club and liked them a lot. Hope they've got them for N- frames.

Recently got my Makarov slide back from WV with the new XS sights on it. When the action gets sorted out the way I want it, it's off to Accurate Plating for matte hard chrome.

I'll also be working a bunch of overtime to pay for it all.

[Indigo22]

Most likely I'll pick up a single action with fixed sights in 22LR. I need a plinking gun. My target auto just doesn't cycle CB caps. Using the CBcaps are quiet and draws less attention from nearby neighbors. Some times I just need to take a walk in the woods and plink at a can or block of wood. Therapeutic stress relief ... I wonder if my insurance would pay for it? LOL

[DrDremel]

Marriane does great work. Her father Russ was a great guy. My Colt 1911a1 was done by him. I learned a lot from him as well. We used to go to dinner after the Cleveland OGCA shows. He died two weeks after we went to dinner. Marianne Carniak took over and does nice work. I am thinking of another 1911 from her.

[Bullet Bob]

There's a S&W 586 waiting for at my gunsmith's, and as soon as I get my money to the seller, there'll be a 2nd model Colt Detective Special on the way (I've GOT to stay off the auction sites!).

Since I normally shoot S&W's, the only custom work I need is a new pair of grips from Roy Fishpaw every six months.

There is another gun I've bid on, but I probably won't get it; too good, too much time left.

[BryanP]

I have a used Sig P220 on layaway at my local shop and I'm slowly accumulating parts to build an AR15. Just don't tell my wife - she thinks I'm saving for wood floors. :evil:

(actually I'm doing that too - she'd kill me otherwise)

[Kamicosmos]

I am very close to finally picking up a Ruger SP 101. I'm on the look out for a .357 2.25 barrel. I haven't decided if I'll get the bobbed hammer or not. (I just LOVE hammers! Revos look funny without them...)
Once I get the gun, I will probably get the trigger slicked up a bit, and get a night sight on the front, along with a nice IWB holster and possibly new grips...

Maybe next week...

[Smoke]

I picked up a Springfield Champion a little while back. Tuned on it and got it running good.

Now I'm accumulating different caliber "uppers" for it.

Currently have:

45acp
38 Super
.22lr

Have most of the parts for 9mm. Looking at 400corbon and others. I the slide for 40S&W also. I have no idea why I'm doing this other than I think its cool. I rarely shoot anythiing other than 45acp.

[BigG]

I'm saving my ducats to buy myself a sho-nuff real double rifle in a serious caliber like .458 or so. Right now, I'm shooting my .308 O/U and enjoying the hell out of it. :D

[D Hags]

I am also having some work done to my SA 1911 by Marianne. Just met her for the first time. Also having work done on a pistol for the first time. I heard great things about her and it is close to home. I am looking forward to the end result. Hard chroming by Tripp, melt job, trigger work, mag well, new front night sight, etc. :)

[sm]

In the Hopper, no guns at this time.

In the hopper IS ammo my buddy has reloaded , I hear it calling for me to send it downrange...;)

[Sean Smith]

Ted Yost has my Delta Elite. Actually, Virgil Tripp has it now, Ted has finished all the work, just waiting on the Cobra Chrome. :D

[Kharn]

Looking at getting a Sig 228 as a present to myself for getting to senior year of college.

Kharn

[MoNsTeR]

A nice 9mm 1911. Can't decide between getting a basic Trojan and having it customized a bit, ordering a special Trojan from the STI Custom Shop, getting an SV/Infinity done just the way I like it, or getting another Briley Advantage since I like mine so much.
Choices, choices, choices!

[Mike Irwin]

Well, as of this morning, very likely a Model 27 6" by S&W.

[Tamara]

I am seriously stalking a 10mm Delta Elite of one variety or another...

[DrDremel]

Richard, let me see a pic of your Mak when it is done. I have never seen any of her non-1911 work. If it it anything like my 1911 work, it will be flawless. As for my projects, a 625 on order, just picked up a 940 and 642 (all S&W) I have an FAL to finish, and my 1919a4 is almost done. I am thinking about better sights on my CZ52 and I am looking for night sights on my CZ75. I need a delta ring to finish off another AR15 clone. Oh, and I am waiting on a replacement trigger housing for the subgun. That is it right now.

[Pappy John]

As of two weeks ago I'm gun satisfied. I was on the prowel for the past seven months looking for a S&W model 696 and finally found one for $350. :D Hammer mounted pin and no zit above the cylinder release. Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!

[Sean Smith]

Tamara,

The Dark Side is waiting for you... :evil:

And whatever you do, don't go here (http://www.geocities.com/mr_motorhead/10tech.html). ;)

[Mannlicher]

I have actually hit the phase where I am unloading. Over the past few months, I have given my son, a Beretta 92, a Springfield 1911A1 ( much modified), two S&W .357. a Taurus 85CH, and a couple of Ruger single Action .45 Colt.

I just dont shoot them anymore, and he will get them some day, so why not now? There are still a pile in the safe. I guess I don't have a acquisition or project on the horizon at all now.

[Ringer]

First time around on this thread I said I had Sig P220 in the hopper. Well that turned into a USP 45 which is now in my bedroom safe.

Currently in the hopper is Win94 or similar lever action in 30-30, one that has been around a while and has some personality.

[SnWnMe]

Currently waiting for my 1 handgun a month ration to expire so I can get a Beretta Tomcat. I also want a 642 to go with my 442. That way I can have a Good (642) and Evil (442) set. Lastly, I think I am ready to add a midbore K frame to my brace of Smiths.

[kalibear45]

Me wanna Berrrrrrretta por favor

[valnar]

A Valtro 1998A1

-Robert

[RTFM]

Well depending on how well my wife does in her hand gun saftey class were down to a selection of;
SIG SP2009
SIG SP2340
Glock 19
Glock 23

I'll leave the selection up to her, after she becomes more familiar with the calibers, what she feels most comfortable with and what fits her the best..
I figure either way, I get a new pistol to shoot too, and a new shooting partner also:)

[Ky Larry]

I have all the guns on my "must have" list and about all on my "wish list." I have a new CZ PCR that I want to get a trigger job on. I have a CZ 550 Varmint .22-250 I'm going to glass bed. The one gun left on my "wish list" is a .223 Bushmaster but if TSHTF I have an AK-47 and several cases of ammo.

[Monkeyleg]

Once the website I maintain for my friend's gunshop starts to bring in $$, I'm supposed to be compensated for my work by getting "free" guns.

My first selection will be a Kimber Eclipse Target. If things with the site go really well, I'd like to add a Springfield M1A to my list of "compensation."

[VaughnT]

Right now, I'm waiting for my Colt 1991 to get back from Arizona where the Novak Xtreme Duty sight is being repaired (adjustment screwhead sheared off during competition).

If I can keep making my workouts, when October rolls around I'll be buying a Colt 1991 with the new roll marks. Stainless steel, attractive lettering, and a milspec look that's timeless. You just can't beat that!

[Chupacabra]

I've been saving up for a new gun (something in 9mm) and I'm torn between a Beretta 92 and a Springfield XD9.

Maybe I should just save a little longer and get both.

:confused:

[Zeke Menuar]

I am going to have my M686 modified for moon clips. I am also looking for a gunsmith to change the front sight to a thinner front sight or a sight that is interchangeable, similar to the Freedom Arms system. I am kinda sorta shopping for a Makarov, PA-63, SMC-380, or a Bersa 380. Waiting to see what shows up in my area. Missed out on a nice SMC-380 by a couple of hours. However this could change if a reasonably priced Walther P-1/P-38 shows up around here................or maybe a FEG Hi-Power or ???

[Byron Quick]

Got a Dan Wesson Razorback 1911 in 10mm. One of the first 150 limited edition. I had the factory leave off most of the laser engraving. No forward cocking serrations. I'm going to have it fully engraved.

I've also got a set of creamy, mammoth tush ivory grips for it.

Carved leather holster and belt.

[DWS1117]

I hope to get my SA 1911 refinished and get new sights. Hate the factory fights. Rear is ok but can't see the front. The parkerized finish has a gritty feel and scratches badly.

[slh02]

Bersa Thunder .380. No real reason beside the fact that it is cheap and reliable.

[jercamp45]
