Does anyone make a rifle in .243 20" barrel, around 6.5" and here's the kicker, non-bolt action? I was originally look at the Remington Model 7 and the Ruger Ultralight M77. But I got to thinking of ease of mechanical function (I only have my right hand to use), unless the gun is on a stable...

I think I've got a disease... I started looking at the Springfield UC 9mm. It started out looking at a Colt Oacp. But I really like the 9mm pros of a short 1911. I forgot that an SA UC is a 3.5" length, the same as an Oacp. Yes, the brain will ask, are these two compatible, an Oacp frame...

Hey guys, I was out at the range today with my newborn 9mm CCO. I needed to align the sights. I didn't get as consistent poa=poi as I had hoped with this pistol, so I'm still wondering about that. But I can say that it is reliable as heck. I got no FTFs or FTEs. My first 16 shots were 4-5"...

I just got my officer's lower and I was just curious about the date of manf for this frame. Any have any info? SN: FA03xxxx

I received my parts order from Brownell's on Saturday, so I'm going through these small parts, anticipating the arrival of the major pieces. I'm rereading Hallock's .45 and Kuhnhausen's Vol 1 so I have a handle of what should be done. I will need to fit the slide to frame, barrel to slide...

Well, I'm watching the news tonight and there was a story on how airsoft guns look just like real guns, AND THEY ARE DANGEROUS! There was a story how neighbors called the cops because they saw some kids "with guns". Cops came, weapons drawn, and one kid was almost shot because he didn't...

I just "picked up" a new uninstalled unmarked Randall (so it says) 9mm commander barrel (if you were involved, tough ;)). From what I've read on Sightm1911 I think I've got a general handle on this barrel as far as history/info goes, but I'd like some opinions on it. The description say it...

Well, I'm posting out of curiosity. My husband is up for orders and has a good shot to get stationed in Japan. I think it'd be a great experience all round, aside from the hassel of moving and taking care of all the not-fun stuff. We're at a time in our lives we can trapse around. Along with...

Somewhere online I saw a pic posted of a 1911, with what I believe was a two tone park job. The frame (and slide?) were grey. And the controls and buttons were black. It looked really sharp and I'm trying to find it because I'm tossing around color schemes and that's the main idea I have...

I'm gathering info for my Dad on the TX CHL stuff, I'm just curious as to what the shooting drills are for the live fire portion of the CHL class. I know I've foundthis somewhere before but I didn't bookmark. I've already got the TX DPS site and Packing.org site info.

I was just curious as to if there was another method to preparing a gun surface for finish without using a beadblaster. Will the old school rub-with-sandpaper method prep the surface enough? When dad I did built stuff for our trucks, we couldn't always get to the sandblasting machine at the...

Just curious as to if these barrels are ramped or not. Colt I'm pretty sure no, but others, maybe Para...Kimber are. I've read a bit on how these shorter 1911s in .40, 38super and 9mm seemed to have more issues with unramped barrels and nosedives (the ones that come to mind are mainly the race...

Has anyone used the 1911 parts kit by Caspian. I would think by their reputation that the kit is quality. I've been pricing build up parts and I can't seem to beat the kit for the money. Sarco excluded, but I've heard if you went with that parts kit, you'd end up replacing it with better...

How do you polish the barrel (hood?) I'd like to polish the barrel of our SA GI, just for asthetics. I was wondering what's necessary as far as compound and tools. Or is this something I should/shouldn't do that would affect function? Here's a pic representing:

Is mink oil and/or shoe polish bad for gun finishes? What kind of long term leather care/contact is least damaging?

So I was browsing over at 1911forum and there is a discussion there about RI coming out with a 9mm 1911. Anyone know anything about that? Interesting to, one of the fellas said he'd sure like to see it in a Commander. That really got me interested :cool: Not sure if that is actually in the...

..edit.. :o

The Cheetah 86 I have was not meant to be broken down by anyone other than a gunsmith (says Beretta's handbook). So all the regular maintenace I have done was cleaning as best I could every spot I could get to without removing the slide, then get it reoiled and fresh again. I now have 1k...

Ok guys, I've found a deal that seems to work for me, and I'm currently buttering up my husband. I'm looking at a Rock Island Commander (4") and from all I've read, they're a decent gun. I've done the searches here on the board, and all seems well. I guess I'm just looking for a little "my...

We hit Ace Hardware a little while ago to pick up around the house fix-its, and of course I stopped by the gun counter for some light browsing. They had a SA Champion GI ($479), which I have been sorta getting an itch for after enjoying our fullsize GI at the range last week. I asked to see it...
