OK guys, thanks for all the tips. What ever it is, i can't fix it myself so it's a trip to the gunsmith. I don't want to screw it up even more. Thanks again, Cezar.

Gentleman. Here is the story. I own Para Ordinance 1911. Great gun, for me anyways. I have it for just about a year, shoot it on weekly bases, love it. But today my world crumbled. I took the gun to the range, put about 300 rounds down the pipe, all good. Took it home and as hundred times...

Thanks, will do. Cezar.

Gentleman. I need to find me a good gunsmith working somewhere near Cleveland Ohio. Rather simple job, changing the barrel on my Savage 112. From 22-250 to .308 I'll supply the barrel unless the gunsmith has one handy. I asked few people in local gun shops, they want me to do the work...

OK, thanks. I wasn't aware of this regulation. Cezar.

OK, but the question remain. Do you have all tools that are needed and will you consider swapping the barrels for "customer" like me ? If so, what are your conditions ? PM me if you think you can do it. Thanks, Cezar.

DIM, would you consider doing this for me ? Looks like you have most of the tools already, maybe the gauges too ? Let me know, Cezar.

Gentleman. Quick and dirty. If i wanted to change caliber from 22-250 to .308 in Savage 112 rifle, swapping the barrel will be enough ? Done by the gunsmith of course. I believe 22-250 is using the necked down .308 case so the bolt face and extractor will work, yes ? I'm not really worrying...

Gentleman. Slowly but surely I’m drifting into the direction of good bolt action rifle in .308 caliber. Or something equal to it. I’m not a very big fan of magnums, 30-06 is also a little much. I doubt I’ll be shooting the rifle at the targets further than 300-500 yards away and I’m not a...

OK gentleman, thank you all for the good news. The way i shoot this pistol should last me a life time. I'm just a regular guy who likes guns but i'm not in military or any kind of law enforcement so if i get to the range once in a month i'm happy. Say 200 rounds per month, 2400 per year ( if...

What about .357 SIG ? I'm thinking about getting another P220 in .357 SIG if i can find one. Yes, i'm hooked ;-) Cezar.

.45 ACP, sorry. 50 000 rounds ? Than i'm covered to the rest of my life. Cezar.

Gentleman. I'm so used to shooting rifles that i still have basic questions about pistols. In general, what is the barrel life for most of them ? My new pistole, Sig P250 has the barrel where wall thickens is maybe .093 inch. It looks like really fat soda straw. I wonder how many rounds do...

Just few days ago i bought my P250 in .45 caliber. Very different animal than my very old but still very good P220 in 9mm. DA trigger takes some time to get used to it but i do like it. After about 20 rounds i learned when it will go off. My gun is a full size one, two tone with SS slide...

Well, range rapport. Took the gun to the first date last night. We did it ;-) The recoil is far less than anticipated, follow up shots are easy to do. Trigger is just fine, took me like 20 rounds to remember when it goes. Gun shoots just a tad to the right but i adjusted it already. I'm pretty...
