Tuner, I had hoped you might make it because it is closer than LV NV. Immunosupressed I do not like crowd but do have fun at the Shot Show. I know where you are as I lived in Durham 7 years and 2 years at Camp Lejeune. It would be fun to see your Norinco collection. I recently bought a...

I have been shooting 1911s for 59 plus years and was given my first one 51 years ago a US Army 1914 Colt. I still have it and it still is a reliable shooter. Over the years I have owned many different ones. My collection gets for ever larger especioally the last 10 years. I agree the...

I did SS01 which was a Caspian Titanium commander receiver with an carbon steel officiers slide. It was a copy of a pistol Dave Sanple did many years ago but with different materials, reverse checkering and a few different components.I am only an amatuer metal worker but I have worked with...

Dave Sample is going to do another Online class. If you are interested I suggest you contact him soon as it is already half booked. Dean Taylor [email protected] 410-952-7848 http://www.1911patriotcop.us/

I finally finished my Custom Bowling Pin 1911 which was interupted by several medical adventures and a cross country and back drive about. Perhaps now I can do some work on my Norinco. Interestingly I did not see any on my 5 1/2 week drive about MD to CA and back. Dean...

Chuck, Thank you for the education. I have gotten other things from EGW but never pin sets. Dean [email protected] 410-952-7848

The best Browning High Powers I have seen have come from Don Williams of the Action Works. I have seen and handled several of his both at his shop and a couple at the Shot Show. If you search the LTW forum site you will find pictures of some of this Browning HPs. www.theactionworks.com...

I do not know what stem binding is. I can find no parts list or parts diagram for a 1911 or a 1911 magazine that lists a "stem" as a part. Please identify this part for me. I have seen barrel link binding due to the link, the link pin and also the slide stop. I am not a Noriunco 1911...

I suggest you just ignore the hisses and catcalls. The ones doing it just lack current knowledge of a recent trend. Since the Power Factor for IPSC major was reduced there are a significant number of IPSC shooters using 9mm in Major. I have shot a few 9mm open 1911s and few Lmited 9mm 1911s...

There are bushing Comps but I have never used one or shot a pistol with one. My comp is on a bull barrel and the others I have shot are on the barrels. Perhaps Chuck and some other experienced pistolsmiths can comment. Dean [email protected] 410-952-7848

Chuck, Very nice work. You show the principles that an elete pistolsmith can do to reduce felt recoil. I have a Custom Open .45 ACP STI which has a Comp which does reduce felt recoil some. I have also used some lower power loads in the 150 PF range for steel which also helps. Needless...

I suggest you not void any warenty you might have from Les Baer by using the slury method until after a call to Les Baer. Perhaps where you bought it will take it back or fix things for you with LB. I suspect you will be told to shoot it in. What you describe is typical or the Les Baers I...

Understated elegance. Very nice work by the elite pistolsmith. Chuck - Is the finish DuraCoat? How do you like the finish? Dean [email protected] 410-952-7848

After the Shot Show I would like to come "down" to NC. Last fall I spent 5 weeks in NC. as previously posted. I will bring my Norinco what ever stage it is in but finished I hope. I also will try to take some pics of my Norinco barrel and post them. I will also post pics of my .400 Corbon...

Norincos-I sure do not know how you guys find so many. Tuner has worked on 88 he has posted. but he is a professional. I do not play Golf but I do travel arround the country going to Pawn Shops, Gun Shops and Ranges and have only seen a few. Recently I spent a month in NC, a week in Michigan...

I suspect your GI 1911 has been worked on. I have a 1914 US Army GI that I have had as a shooter for over 50 years. It was given to me at age 14 by a family friend who got it in WWI. The blue at that time matched on all the parts. I have put over 150,000 rounds through it and it is no longer...

The black powder cap and ball Ruger Old Army being a Remington type black powder handgun can also use a .45 Long Colt Remington cartridge conversion cylinder to shoot .45 Long Colt cartridges. I have one and it works great. I ordered mine direct many years ago but now they are available from...

I buy my barrels direct from Kart - Kart National Match EZ fit barrel and bushing. I do not get a discount. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=7611&title=1911+AUTO+EASY+FIT+BARREL+KIT I checked the Brownells web site and they charge $165 for the Kart EZ fit...

I guess as in most things it all depends on how one wants to spend his/her disposable income and how much one has. By the way the Norinco Dave rebuilt and has pictures up on his forum has a lockup of .052. Dean [email protected] 410-952-7848
