    J.C. Higgins muzzle break

    Part of the comp is missing, broken away at the slots, in one place. Do you think it's safe to shoot?

    Can someone tell me how to remove the muzzle break from the Model 60, 12 gauge? It' looks pressed on. Thanks, Jim

    Winchester and Cooey Model 490

    You can tell if the recall was accomplished by an "asterik" stamped at the end of the serial number. I can't seem to spell asteric correctly, but you get the drift, I hope.

    Installing M&P Bowie Night Sights (with a steel punch)

    How do you like those sights? My M&P has been a pleasure since I did a trigger job on it and now I'm looking at sights.

    Glock guy shot an M&P today for the first time

    I recently did the trigger job on my own M&P9 and it's great! Smooth and a shorter reset. I'm a new gunsmith and as soon as my FFL comes thru, I'll be doing these along with 1911 work. --jim

    1911 feeding problem, Help!

    Thank you, Wildfire. It all helps. I love my 1911 and want to enjoy it for fun and competition and personal protection. I have a ranch with my own range and also compete with a local group. jim

    1911 feeding problem, Help!

    Wildfire Before I change the recoil spring, I'll double-check powder load with my digital scale. As I said originally, factory ammo works fine, so I don't think it's my grip. I try to be very aware of this. I'm curious what caused you to learn the hard way and how lighter springs were wearing...

    1911 feeding problem, Help!

    empty mag functions perfectly. No aftermarket stuff added. I've got an electronic scale on order to compare with my basic scale. Thank you all!!!

    1911 feeding problem, Help!

    Thank you all for your help. I will try to find out what the stock recoil spring is and maybe look at a new, weaker one. Also I'll bump up the load. All advice is appreciated.
