  1. 10/22 will not eject unfired round

    Its the chamber size. There is nothing wrong with it per se, its a tight target chamber. This is common in target grade 22 pistols. That is where I have seen it and experienced it several times. When fired, the gun cycles fine, but a loaded round is very difficult to extract.

    1911 Porn-Let's See What You Got

    New build just finished. based on a Colt Competition .45

  5. 22LR 1911 style pistols

    Another vote for Nelson conversion. Not the cheapest option but will be perfect match for that PSA build. My Nelson is the most accurate pistol I own and has never let me down.

  6. Where do you buy your 1911 grips??

    for wood grips in the mid to upper range, I like Ahrends grips http://ahrendsgripsusa.com/1911.htm Not a huge variety, but Very nicely made. They usually have some in stock and sell on Ebay as well. On the upper end is also Esmarelda http://www.esmeralda.cc/latest_grips_added.htm Never had any...

    Which 1911...

    Of those two, RIA. Add $100 and get a Ruger for stainless or STI Spartan in Carbon. (the STI is VERY under rated IMO). It uses Armscor parts, but they are very well fit.

    Has the new CZ 1911A1 hit the street yet?

    If they use the same supplier for the frames and slides that they use for the Dan Wesson line, and keep the price down where it needs to be, I think it will give the Springer MilSpec a real run for its money. Out of the box it looks to be a slightly truer copy of an original A1, and will also...

    Ruger Porn

    Thanks LockRod, I did the front strap checkering. Yes its the original slide with some work done to it with the milling machine. The grips are VZ with Ruger medallions from Ebay that I inlayed.

    Ruger Porn

    Meh, It happens. They are cheap. I try and always have a few around. A little Loctite when you put them back in helps.. Grips look good!

    Ruger Porn

    Here are a couple of my Ruger projects. A great little 3 screw Single Six that I picked up at a pawn shop in pretty sorry shape, so I re finished it. ( its moved on to another ODT'er, but its one of those guns I still regret selling) And a SR 1911 that I did a ton of work to just for fun.

    PSA 1911 frame i just got

    I like Wilson parts, but just a reminder, Wilson beavertails use a proprietary radius on the frame. If you want to use one, you will need their jig to re contour the frame. If this is your first build, I would recommend sticking with a safety designed for the .250" radius. There are plenty to...

  13. PSA 1911 frames

    You guys got a good deal! they are already out of stock on the carbon steel frames (still have stainless). IF all the holes are drilled straight and IN SPEC, that's a great price for a forged frame. I want to cast another vote for the STI slides from Brownells. I just used one in a build and it...

  14. want a 1911 - dont know where to start

    If you want a railed gun, the Colt is $100 outside your budget. At $1100 new, you should be able to find a used one for less. That would be my first choice. I owned one for a while, it was an outstanding pistol. Ive never owned a Sig 1911, buddy of mine had one, I would say it was on par with...

  15. Colt Gold Cup Trophy

    Any Gold Cup built after 1983 will be a series 80 gun. The only "series 70" built since then are the "re issues", and they have not re introduced a series 70 Gold Cup as of yet. Colt 1911s built between 1970 and 1983 were called Series 70 (actually referring to the collet style barrel bushing)...

    New 9mm 1911 build.

    Thanks Chris. We would like to make some of the AHGR matches this year, but will definitely be at SRGC. Looking forward to seeing your ESP build as well!

    New 9mm 1911 build.

    Mike, I did a TON or reading on ramped VS conventional barrels in 1911s. What I found was that the ramped barrels came into vogue in 38sup, 9mm and 40SW primarily due to case support issues with the conventional barrel chamber. If not done exactly right, they can cause feed issues due to the...

    New 9mm 1911 build.

    Thanks. RRD, Ive thought about the Aluminum grip safety, and I want to avoid taking any weight off the front of the gun if possible. Its well under weight (43oz with empty mag) with the wood grips, but the VZs bring it over by .2 so Ill just focus on the grips I think. Its a "exact fit" (used...

  19. Did some Nitre bluing

    Nice work! I really like the look of Nitre blued small parts. I have fire blued grip screws for a similar look, but its tricky to get it just right. Would the heat generated during the process affect the temper of the slide? Not sure how hot it gets. Anyway, looks great!

    New 9mm 1911 build.

    Thanks again guys. Mike, the magwell is a Dawson precision aluminum so it hardly weighs anything. I'll figure something out. Those VZ grips are heavy! Could probably hollow them out to find my .2oz!!
