    New/Used 1911 with Barrel Lug Wear

    Just bought a S&W 1911 Railed used and noticed a wavy wearing pattern on it when I bought it. Haven't fired it just yet because this was just yesterday. The price was STUPID good and I knew that the "Lifetime Warranty" should cover any mechanical issues. The gun is stock and has an unknown round...

    1911 Match Barrel Fitment and Finish (Pics Inside!)

    Thanks red line that was exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. Some thing approaching 2" @25 yards would be ideal. I know that the trigger must be it then.

    1911 Match Barrel Fitment and Finish (Pics Inside!)

    Hey there I have a concern about a gun that I have going in for some custom upgrades. I have a Springfield "Loaded" Champion that I plan on having the slide Melonited. Among other things I also am curious as to the potential accuracy of the barrel, as the gun shoots good, but not as good as...

    Best Finish for a Two-Toned 1911

    Here's the Gun I'm Trying to Tribute! I do appreciate the advice in regards to the Fusion. But I'm using the Colt because it's kind of a tribute of sorts of a certain 1911 and the gun was specifically a Series 70 with a pony on the slide. When I referred to wear in my talking points I...

    Best Finish for a Two-Toned 1911

    Hey everyone, I was curious for a project that I have coming up. I'm buying a Series 70 in carbon steel soon with an end in mind of a two-tone flavor. This is going to be a high end project that will be of heirloom mindset. There are so many options that I can't really find what is the best...

    New Slide on Champion Frame

    I was curious if I could mount a fullsize or commander size slide on my Stainless Loaded Champion. I would prefer to put a 5" Carbon slide because I like the look and would prefer a bushing barrel. I am aware that it would most likely cost as much as a new gun. But I am planning on starting a...

    Smith and Wesson 65 .357 magnum

    Yeah I think the hand had fallen down in the slot that it rides in and would scratch the back of the cartridges. It wasn't the primer's backing out because the rounds would scratch before even being fired.

    Smith and Wesson 65 .357 magnum

    Yeah, I did do that and it didn't solve the issue. I remember aggressively scrubbing and to no avail. I just don't understand why the caliber is not specified. I figure that would be illegal or something. Not that I'm the whiner type. Even old military guns are labeled as such.

    Smith and Wesson 65 .357 magnum

    Last year, I found a LNIB model 65 at a local pawnshop. My wife noticed how much I oggled it and later went back and bought it for me. Well, I ended up shooting about 150 .38spc reloads that I made up for it and called it good. I took it out one day with .357 magnum and went to fire when I...

    Ultimate Handguns

    I was just thinking about the different categories of must have handguns. What's your idea of the ultimate incarnation to you, in each respective category. This has been done before. Just trying to get them all together in one. These categories should cover every application, so you can go off...

    Proving Service for Garand Purchase?

    In my other thread I was faced with the question between a Garand and an M70. I've decided on the Garand. However, I'm confused on how I can prove eligibility as it is Illegal to photocopy my CAC.

    My Last Rifle

    Well, I'm leaning towards the .308 more than the .30-06. Are parts harder to come by or is reliabilty compromised? I really wanted the Featherwieght, they are so nice and handy. I guess I can always buy the featherwieght down the line. But the Garand just has no practical use I can't cover really.
