I would join the NRA again but they were sending me at least 20 mailings a month for me to extend my membership or for more money. Now don't get me wrong they do some good the last straw was when I renewed and they called at least 10 times for me to renew which I told them I had and the calls...

I have seen a boat load of handguns and rifles cut up in a chopper and the metal sold for scrap. I have always wondered if there could be a way to take these guns and take all good parts off them and only cut up the receivers.

I bought one like new not a mark on it with 3 mags. box and all paperwork for 200.00. 375.00 is a total rip off.

xaviarbreath you hit the nail on the head as yes it was a storm lake NM barrel. My barrel was totally shot out and I bought it and had it fitted by a highly recommended guy in this area with 1911's what I did not know was when he fitted it he used reloaded semi wad cutter ammo to test as this is...

A while back I posted I was having a problem with my 1911 feeding ammo and got alot of feedback on what it could be. Well the gunsmith just called and told me he had checked out my pistol and found that when the barrel was chambered it was 3 1/1000's to short for factory case lenth. He reamed...

I was at my local pawn shop and a guy was in looking at the pistols. He went outside and I saw him talking to a girl in his/there car. She went in and bought a pistol he had been looking at then went back out and left I am not sure if he was with her or not I had went back inside. I told the...

I agree that a 9mm is better than using some bigger caliber that you are not use to. BUT I saw a guy who had been hit 11 times by 9mm fire from LEO'S and he lived and was out of the hospital in 10 days. Ok so placement is at a issue but this same guy put one round into a officer with a .45 and...

Ok guys you are the greatest. Took gun to a guy who has been smithing for 40 years said it was a easy fix and It will be done next saturday. When i asked what he thought it was he said thats why you pay me 30.00 to fix it LOL he's right I will let him fix it.

You know I have read all of these post and I must say a high power just hits me right. Don't know why but I can see and classey guy, rich with a high power in a should holster.

It is a brand new recoil spring the smith said the fit of slide and lock up were very good. It has a storm lake NM barrel and matching barrel lug. all internal parts are colt factory parts and they have all been checked for wear. Like I said before All the springs were changed and they are wolf...

Ok more info When I bought the gun it stopped feeding after just a few rounds the barrel was a colt p barrel that had very little rifling left. After looking at it the smith I used said the pistol was ok but needed a new barrel. He installed the barrel and I went and got it 130 mile round trip...

I have a 1911 that has feeding problems. I had a custom NM barrel installed after the old barrel which was shot out would not feed. After getting the pistol back it would not feed for me still so I took it back to the guy who installed the barrel and he said it worked fine. I took it to the...
