Witch: I did. I saw that barrel out in the shop today so I will try to get you some pictures of barrels throated right, and wrong. It is hard to spot sometimes, but a real easy way to tell is to grind an EMPTY 45 case in half and then you can see where the web of the case relates to the throat...
It can't hurt, but The Second Test with two rounds in the magazine will tell you that. Here is the drill we have used on about 75 student guns. Load a magazine with one round. Insert it in the magazine well. Drop the slide with the slide stop. Fire one round. If that works, repeat with two...
My sight staking tool was $160.00. It has paid for itself many times over. I have yet to have one come off after I staked it on but the fat lady hasn't sung yet, so it may be too soon to tell. I had the School of Trades in Denver silver soder one on four times and then sent it to Ken Hallock. I...
Just spent a few hours in the shop turning a Horse into an Eagle. I had the frame welded up because some expert had ruined it. It was a '70 series Colt 1911 that was sold because there was no way it could feed with the barrel throat hanging over the feed ramp. It is going to be a nice shooter...
I like to fill those with lead and then use them for fitting slides to lower ends. Maybe you could fill them with read before you mail them. That would make them worth something!
Thanks. It is coming along nicely. I have done the mag well entry and put some skate board tape on the front strap. The next step is to tear it down, prep it, and get it out to Gunsite for bluing.
Interesting comments. Why in the world would you want a dummy round in second place? You need to know if the slide will lock back after the first shot.
Thanks Dale. I have just returned from basking in the fellowship of folks I have known for a while at The Shot Show. We all like and respect each other and it's great fun for the unknown smith (the little corporal from arizona) to spend time among his peers. The difference from that experience...
I relaced the link and pin. The barrel was fine for the gun it came in and I advised the owner how to make it run. He did not do this. Installing a Chinese barrel in three other guns proved nothing excet to re-afirm my belief that some people have too much time on their hands as seen by my...
Since I am der Blingmeister of this and many other forums, I feel I am qualified to answer.
This is one of my many SA CAS six guns that I also use as a CCW from time to time. "Oh it don't mean a thing ,if it ain't got that Bling" I also like to wear about $20,000.00 worth of...
I was asked a direct question, and I answered it. If you don't like the answer, then maybe you are on the wrong forum. I can duke it ourt with you guys with half of my mind tied behind my back. No Flame Taken, and please be aware that I am not one of the "Chronically Offended." I just wasn't put...
I knew the words were a problem here and I thought that the Pictures were also a problem for you to understand. The top end is just as was we found it and it is at least 90 years old. It will not be shot much, but I can guarantee you it will kill a man at 7 yards. I bet you thought it was a...
