    I've got big hands for the 1911.

    Sure there are several different longer triggers. Most of which "drop" in. Also try a larger main spring housing and a bevertail. I added all to my Series 70 and have loved it since 1982... BTW I wear XXL gloves only because I can't find XXXL! MG

    Anyone use USMC Shooting Jacket?

    FWIW, I've fired many, many rounds wearing mine. Issued to me in 1984 before my first Division match. Still fits, still wear it. Suits me just fine. As a team back then, we didn't have all the latest equipment or modified rifles, but hard work and lots of "snapping in" allowed us to take several...

    Calling any Gunsmiths in Austin TX

    rouge, I feel for ya! Last year I checked into having a new barrel installed on a Rem 700 in .223.....(wait for it...) $800.00!!!! I think these people have lost their minds. I would rather do it myself and risk destroying the rifle than pay someone else twice what the rifle is worth, just to...

    caliber in a lever gun

    I have a 1886 Winchester in .45-70. I load my own so it's cheap enough to shoot. .45-70 will bring down anything I can think of in N. America. MG

    1911 Oversize Grip Screw Bushings?

    big, I have the busiing kit. It works just fine. Mine has a tap to tap the threads oversize to match the new bushings in the kit. I use just a small ammount of blue loctite on the new bushings to keep them from backing out. MG

    Is 50BMG brass worth anything?

    FloppyD, It depends on the military weapon it was fired in... the throat erosion on some MG's is too much for my dies to re-size without being a PITA. But, that being said, of course don't throw it away. I have other calibers of brass I will trade to you for the .50 stuff. P/M me if you are...

    AR-15 Talk at the Gunshop...

    It sounds like neither one of them had ever shot the little black rifle. As someone who has fired several hunderd of them and thousands of rounds at all distances...anyone who thinks they are safe any closer than 800+ yards is a fool. Soon to be a dead fool. It was regular practice to see fist...

    Management Bucks?

    INTERLOCK, Not sure about the rest of the states, but in Texas, we have a problem dealing with the city folks and PETA people not wanting to control the deer populations. The city counsel of Austin was debating a "NO FEED" law for the city controled areas. Seems the city folks feed the deer, the...
