I have the Knight's Armament suppressor designed for the Mark 23, and be warned that the price tag is as steep as the firearm itself. That being said, it's a fantastic suppressor designed and built to last. On top of that, it can be used wet or dry, and when fired wet, it's remarkably...

Bump One of my gun-shop buddies gave me some details that 7 years ago, new-in-box, it'd run $475.

Disappointed Bump 160 views and no input. The scope includes cams for .300 WM, .30-30 & .270 Win.

Hello HighRoad, I have a 6x Realist Auto/Range Scope, and I was wondering if anyone could provide input as to it's effectiveness & value? Page 34, Popular Mechanics, April 1968 (See Link)...

Merry Christmas To everyone keeping up with this thread: Merry Christmas to you & your's! -Teddy

Touché! Moreover, I got something in mind I call the 'Petite,' but I'd be marketing to female shooters. :-/

@45_auto: Ok, so I'm not a wizard with technical names of components. I'm also not a 1911 owner or shooter. I could probably name 80% of the components in an M16A2, but I'm not trying to design a gas impingement, rotating-bolt system. Thank you for the video, it was helpful in completing the...

@BBBBill: Yeah, heavy modifications would need to be made all around to facilitate a Casull. It's a pretty square profile to begin with, based off the pictures. And yes, I'd expect match-grade accuracy for the kind of money I'll have to put into this. @Jim K: What do you mean a 'Link?'...

Quick Update to those that are following this thread: I've gotten a few interested inquiries, waiting on a final verdict before anything can start moving forward.

It's unfortunate that many of the great gunsmiths of the golden age of handmade firearms are dying off without an apprentice or heir. It's a diminishing trade. I'm certain that I'm not looking for a Desert Eagle for this project, unless it's to adapt the ribbed magazines. Jim Watson's...

@Jim Watson: Thank you for the clarification. I have a thing for titanium, so I'd gladly be on board with that. Also, Desert Eagle magazines are only $47!? HK factory Mark 23 magazines are $70. @dirtyjim: Your unnecessary sarcasm aside, that's exactly what I'm seeking. Thank you for the...

I had forgotten the LAR Grizzly. When it was mentioned to me as a candidate for the parent-gun, my favorite near-by gun store had one in stock but it's long since been purchased. That would be the closest thing to what I seek, and only a few components would need to be remade big enough to...

@dirtyjim: Here are more requested details. Chambered in .454 Casull 10" Barrell Longslide Magazine-fed Semi-Auto Patterned after Colt 1903 & 1911 Browning Short-Recoil Action (Gas Actuation, like a Wildey or Desert Eagle will not suffice) Care will need to be taken in regards to the...

Thank you, M-Cameron. That was an interesting read. And sates my quota for 'Learn New Things Today.' I tip my proverbial hat to thee. -Teddy

@Dirtyjim: If I could put 33% down with the guarantee that the gunsmith would see the project through to completion or my money back if he calls off, then I would be agreeable to 33/33/33. If for whatever reason, 24 months elapses, and I don't hear any thing back, I think it's reasonable to...
