    AR-15 Lower with Customer-Supplied Material

    There are a several issues... that I won't get into because that's not the focus of your question. I only know of one company (not saying that there aren't others) that has the capabilities to take a raw slab of an (possibly) unknown alloy and turn it into a lower, and that's Rainier Arms in...

    Another crazy Feinstein Project question - paper stock?

    They make 1911 grips out of laminate paper and phenolic resin... so why not a stock? ;)

    SA Lightweight Champion Ramp "over polished"?

    Hey Sopater... The EGW feed ramp insert that Jim mentioned... most gunsmiths that are capable of installing EGW inserts charge around $150. Here's a thread with photos of the process by "pistolwretch"... AKA Chuck Rogers / Rogers Precision.

    Magpul Releases M1911 Grips

    Yep... that is one big, ugly and probably very uncomfortable cutout right where my middle finger base joint goes. If I was a righty, for the cheap price, I'd get 'em just to try 'em out.

    Thumb safety !!!

    We don't know your skills at DIY... which is why Fuff suggest you have a new safety professionally fit. If you are DIY skillful and you have a good working knowledge of the 1911 fire control system and why Fuff is concerned that the safety lug lock the sear tight with zero movement... then...

    1911 suggestions

    Have you been to an IDPA match? If not, go... walk around, talk to people, ask them about what they've done with their 1911s in the class you intend to shoot. If you are new to IDPA, the most important things are... 1. You listen to the course safety officer and follow all directions. If...

    Value of a Cylinder and Slide Custom Pistolsmithing Course

    No takers huh? OK... here's my take on the C&S Custom class. Where you go with it depends on you. You learn how to build a premium quality 1911 from parts, using hand tools. In the real world, a professional 1911 'smith will do portions of their work using machine tools... although some of...

    Century Arms ejection problem

    Welcome one shot... Check the up/down play at the front of the grip frame. Excessive vertical play can prevent the ejector, which is in the grip frame, from aligning itself with the case head correctly. Excess bolt gap can be a problem. Cock the (empty) gun... let it slam forward, don't...

    Aluminum v. Steel

    Good point. A steel MSH must be at least a few ounces heavier than a ally or plastic one. A steel vs. ally GS as well. I personally have no fears with aluminum for a everyday CC gun. The small potential for greater wear vs. a steel gun is more than offset by the superior ease of carry. After...

    Aluminum v. Steel

    I'm not weighing any guns side by side. I've not owned a steel Officers in years, so I got the steel weight info from a 1993 Colt brochure I have in my library. It does seem like a lot, but I suspect around a 10 oz. difference is pretty accurate. Perhaps someone with both steel and alloy guns...

    Aluminum v. Steel

    An empty aluminum framed Officers size gun runs about 22-24 oz. while an all steel gun comes in about 10 oz. heavier. This will vary a bit with a 9mm being a bit heavier than the .45 due to the thicker barrel. C

    Removing scope ring adhesive

    Nothing on the rings... just the scope? If there's "adhesive" on the rings at all, you can experiment with different products until you find a good one. If the scope is painted rather than anodized, you're a bit limited in what you can use. Try "Goo Off" first, then perhaps lighter fluid. If...

    Israeli Kareen Hi-Power project

    If it shoots as nice as it looks... you did yourself proud Jesse. As much as I like the stock grips for feel, that gun may deserve some swankier grips... ya' think? ;)

    22-250 barrel life?

    It's a matter of what your maximum tolerance for accuracy is. If you're happy with "five shot clovers", then when those clovers start to open up to 5 separate holes, get a new barrel. On the other hand, if you want them all in .400" or less, you need a barrel now. Hart, Shilen, Krieger...

    Help need with a 1911 extractor problem

    Hi Rita, welcome to THR... The Kahr/AO 1911 can be a little sketchy on dimensions sometimes. Have you measured the slide hole and extractor head yet? Is the extractor a few thousandths larger (or less), or is it seriously larger than the hole? Yes, you can sand it, but unless Nowlin screwed up...

    NO GUNS signs

    I've found a good amount of information regarding CC, the law and liability at opencarry.org "the law library". For example, here's a post regarding Wisconsin liability. A bit old, but directly related to the OP question, Wisconsin business owners liability. Scroll to the second post... and then...

    Rock Island armory 1911 Grip safety

    Your best bet is to call RIA and ask them the question. Most all aftermarket GS require fitting. I believe the RIA Tactical uses a .250" radius on the frame, but my memory is a sketchy thing. :rolleyes: Call Arnel Bernardo, the most excellent gunsmith for RIA, a call at 775-537-1444... and ask...
