Going to pick up a box or two of 180 grain and shoot a few rounds this weekend while I have some range time with my Glock 19 and SW 640 Custom Shop.

are you being serious-are they unavailable?

how does one locate springs for this?

Very nice. And thanks for the advice. I know it's not a handmade custom, but for me its just oozes (in a good way) quality, like it was put together back in the 50s by one of the regarded firearms manufacturers. As for the carry system, I was thinking along those lines-I'm afraid a belt rig...

Recently paid off one of these I had on layaway and took delivery. Haven't shot it yet but it seems really nice and rather beastly on examination. Anybody shot one of these and have any opinions? And any input on durability or any spare parts to obtain (other than the standard springs)...

Thanks!cwd

Thanks, but I prefer the materials of the frame and the internals over the RIA. As for someone else's interest, not an issue-don't plan on selling one that I get worked up. Cost may exist in installing sights, and if cutting needs to be done, it may be hard to find a smith game to do so, given...

getting another Norc after selling my first some years ago. Does anyone know of any good illuminated sights that are relatively easy to install or, in the alternative, a good smith who would do the necessary work on these. Also anybody good with matching an aftermarket barrel and bushing

reply Does anyone with experience with a no-dash feel that they can describe what the action should feel like: two-stage, stacking, or pretty much consistent all the way through?

reply I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

reply Thanks for the responses-as for pix, I really can;t take them of how it feels when it cycles.

I have a no dash 686 that was stolen and used in two homicides and eventually returned to me from the courts-I posted a thread about it years ago-and have taken it down to seriously thinking carrying it. I've had a decent gunsmith who knows his limitations and was S&W trained years ago look...

glocked I remember in the late 80's I had carried Smith 19 and 686 revolvers, then a Beretta 92 when assigned to the tactical unit. We were still using 1911s in the reserve unit for Uncle Sam, at least, and after I went in the narcotics unit I carried a bunch of 1911s, including a Gold Cup...

ar Thanks for good advice and thoughts, will update when I am able to actually shoot and such. Some notes: 1. Was lubed properly, I am fairly certain, and will keep it such. 2. I agree on the replacement parts, and do this for all my firearms. 3. I do not want to make a mountain of a...

ar was going to pop 50 rounds yesterday but all they had was steel-cased ammo and I did not want to burn my "good stuff."

bolt 1. The armorer said they were damaged, opened too much, I think. 2. Pictures specifically of what-like to comply but tell me what would help. 3. I'll try that test with the bolt. Thanks for the responses folks. I'm hoping it just shows tight tolerances on manufacture and, of course...

Had my ar about a year, only put about 50 rounds of various ammo through it. No problems at all, and this rifle is my most valued personal possession. However, a police armorer (trained and schooled) looked over it today and said the bolt was very tight in the carrier, to the point gas rings...

why??? I like what it does (granted, I lack first-hand experience, and am depending in great part on the kindness, or rather the accuracy, of strangers) and I like the 1911 platform. I also like the 10mm, but I do not feel comfortable with it in the 1911. I can shoot the 9mm in it for...

9mm 1911 Put a down-payment on a new Colt 9mm 1911 basic model (01992?). After I sell off my 686 and a few other toys, I will wring it out. If it does as well as the .45 I bought a couple of years ago-Colt seems to have really put some Q/C in it-then I'll save up for a 9x23 barrel and have it...
