This reminds me, I've been meaning to get a 1911, I'm thinkin get a base GI model and then shoot it a lot and replace parts to turn it into something a little racy. Thinkin parkerized then replace with SS ext beavertail, SS skeleton trigger and hammer, SS levers then maybe go match internals, not sure yet.

One gun I always wanted German Luger idk y I just like em

My moms husband bought one in France while he was stationed in Paris during WWII.

He lent it to me to inspect and clean. It's original, matching, including the holster.

I dissasembled and cleaned it. It was very difficult to reassemble due to the close tolerances. It had 2 magazines. One was a lite weight alloy one piece excrusion and the other was an alloy/wood combination.

I fired it, took it apart, cleaned and reassembled.

As I studied it it was very disturbing how advanced the design and mfg. The quality is equal to match. The design is an extension of your hand. If you can point your index finger you can hit the target.

For sniper use a stock can be attached. The caliber is designed to maime to instill terror and to cause the enemy to use resources to care for the wounded.

To think it was mfg 60 years ago was very scary!

Hey, PM me. I used to hold an FFL for gunsmithing purposes. I have the jig to contour the frame for the Ed Brown high grip beaver tail safety and jigs to stone/polish the hammer hooks and sear face. I can also give a few other pointers on 1911's.

Very nice. Whom would be considered the authority on Mauser broom handles that would
be willing to answer some questions?

I have several questions regarding value, provenance and history of a certain model.
I would like to go on Antiques Roadshow but have neither the time nor patience.

[DEFYANT]

Guns kill people and should be outlawed. :razz:

Lol! I've never seen a gun go to jail for killing some one.

I just seen an M1 Garand in the paper for $475. That has to be a good deal, right? I've never seen one for less than $600.

I'll be in the market for one of these in January.

14) Marlin .17 HMR


How many rounds have you run through this one? Do you like it? Plinking or varmit killing?

Hello Gary,
I'd email your questions to gunsandammo@primedia.com with a detailed description of your firearm.
They are interesting guns and this is the email for S.P. Fjestad's Gun Room column. They don't do personal replies but I would think questions about this weapon would likely be published because of the broad appeal.

Hey, hello Kemosabe. long time no see. I may try that too but I really need an expert in Broom handles.
Next time I see you I'll go into detail. Super rare one.

It is an incredible gun, I carry a penny around with me I hit at 100 yards with it......twice. The first time I shot the penny did not move off the hay bail, so I shot again, and again the penny did not move. When I walked over to look where I hit there were two holes in the penny and it did not budge off its hay bail . I highly recommend one, great fun for the buck. I probably have 350 rounds through mine. The only thing with these are they are picky with hollow point rounds, sometimes mis-feed. Not good for hunting unless you get headshots, just shreds the meat and leaves copper everywhere......great plinker.

Do you know anyone who makes a good magazine for a 10mm round in a 1911? Wilson and Chip McCormick don't seem to bother, and I'm not too sure about the Kimber TacPro mags.

I have used several Metalform mags in .45 ACP w/flat top followers and the feed perfectly!

[DeepSea117]

alarmguy/krytin thanks! gives me a reason to pick up that kimber eclipse :D

[Drewstang]

My collection is small and my safe is empty.
1.) Remington 700 .243 youth model
2.) New England 20ga single shot

Both were given to me by my dad and will be passed down to my sons.

I think its been said somewhere, "I got my shotgun, rifle, and my 4 wheel drive......."

[rayjay]

I just aquired a WW2 relic pistol that turned out to be NIB/unfired upon receipt. :D The question is will it stay unfired????

Yer right! Keep the guns. Outlaw the people! :P

[Haggis]

Yer right! Keep the guns. Outlaw the people! :P

Now, something we can agree on. ;)

Haven't heard from you in a while, how is everything going?

[sailsmen]

Yer right! Keep the guns. Outlaw the people! :P

Outlaw the "Outlaws".

When guns are Outlawed only "Outlaws" will have them.

In 2004 there were per CDC;
28,600 Gun Deaths of which 16,750 were suicide
45,113 Vehicle Deaths.

Outlaw vehicles and only "Outlaws" will have them.

For every person killed by a gun 1.57 are killed by a vehicle.

Driving is a privelge not protected by the Constitution that we should not have!

Save the people, save the Earth, outlaw driving!

[rumble]

Outlawed? So nobody will have them? Ban them just like drugs
and keep them out of the country like illegals? Gee I dunno if that would really work.

You think?

[Tom Doan]

Jeez, Come on guys and girls. How you going to join the "Torque and Recoil" local chapter if you don't buy some more guns? I'm trying to get the wife to buy me a THIRD vault for Christmas. Yeah, yeah I know your point of view, but guess where all my lib neighbors were when we had 3 weeks of "sniper" attacks here? Strange, they won't talk to me most of the time and won't let their kids trick or treat at my house but when the poop hits the fan I got friends out the ying yang. Tom

[Haggis]

You think?

Illegal drugs are banned, I still hear of people smoking pot and doing crack. (?)

Illegal immigrants are still illegal, but are still here. (?)

So, I guess your question of; 'Gee I dunno if that would work?', has already been answered.

This thread was started for 'Gun Enthuiasts' to reply to my finds not a pollitical dicussion about guns. That thread will be started later.
