Should have my FFL within a month and hopefully type 2 soon after. I need a few full autos to play with :)

The 140's did not like to stabilize at the 75 and 100 yard targets. 120's were perfect. As far as what I built it for. Just to have fun with. I am not a competition shooter. More of a weekend plinker. But why not have a tack driver to play with. Not sure what the next project will be but I am...

Everything fits like a glove. Very comfortable, I put 47 rounds through it Sat and fell in love with the feel.

I will get a target posted later tonight. Still adding more layers of Tru-oil and I had to cut a little more for the new bolt so I will have to refinish that but she functions great. 47 rounds through her today

PSA is actually right around the corner from me and I have a ton of local friends that buy from them. Never had an issue. Like an earlier post I think they got a lot more business than they expected to be right out of the hole. I am sure they would make any error right and the quality of the...

The stock in the first rifle is from Boyd's, The last one is Richard's Microfit but it was ordered about a year ago and recently used.

Here is one we built from a 98. It is also 6.5

Because I had a 96 that had a bad barrel and stock. The handle will be redone... Don't really like the way it turned out.

More updates, Lots of sanding and Oiling left which I will start Tuesday. Rear pillar bedding Front lug glassed in Custom target bolt handle.. This was a combination of heating hammering and grinding

1 in 9 twist, we are pillar bedding the action today and painting the action and barrel. (Will be parking them later but I want to get a few projects ready before firing up the park tanks.

I had to share this, I am in the process of building a target rifle in 6.5x55 and as luck would have it the Gustaf action I am using is dated 1911 (I love 1911's) Here are a few images of our progress...

Just bought another 642. Found it at a local shop for $364.. Picked one up for my brother. Happy Birthday.. :)

So if my Taurus 24/7 pro sent over 1000 rounds down range without any failures I should not trust it? I don't think any gun is bragging material unless you happen to have a 90% Black Army 1911 sitting next to you. As with any sidearm.... I would not trust any of them with my life until I...

What is the difference in the Airweight and the ladysmith anyway?

I had a 24/7 pro in .45 and it was flawless for over 1000 rounds. Only reason I parted is the same as above. I like metal. I am a diehard 1911 fan and own several of them. Although I did just fall equally as hard for a 642.... Not a big fan of tuperware although that does not mean there is...
