  1. 1911 Full Length Guide Rod???

    I am a fan of FLGR's, but only because it makes the gun seem smoother because the guided spring is not rubbing against the inside of the dust cover. (That's where that "grinding" sound comes from.) I know it doesn't matter in the big scheme of things, but it's comforting to me. The biggest...

    ANYONE SEEN THE FN BRNO 7.5 ITS CRAZY!

    At 50k PSI, I would NEVER load that cartridge with Small Pistol Magnum primers. I'd go for the thicker-cupped Small Rifle primers. I suspect that you'd get primer flow with any Pistol Primer, even Magnums.

    A Tale of Two Crush Washers, or Two Crush Washers One Barrel, and other AR oddities

    I was at a "We build AR's" shop in North Carolina this weekend. I actually got to watch the "gunsmith" installing a pencil barrel into an Upper Receiver. It didn't slip in. By the time I left, it had devolved to the point of "Use that big rubber mallet over there".... He put the muzzle on...

  4. Lightweight build advice

    When Multi-Gun first became a thing, I had some customers who wanted ultra-light AR's. Of course the thought process was "lighter to run with; faster transitions from target-to-target". I built a couple that were in the 5# range unloaded. Carbon fiber handguards, pencil barrels, etc. No...

  5. Anybody have a staccato or 1911 with dot in Marietta?

    If you ever come down to the USPSA match in Fayetteville on Tuesday nights, I'll let you shoot a Prodigy that I just built up for the new Limited Optics Division.

  6. SA-35 what happend?

    I think both of them did it. Austin had mostly retired by the time I met them.

  7. New Glock..

    Regrettably, Gen4 and Gen5 21's have a significantly different dimensions on the lower lugs, so they're not interchangeable.

  8. New Glock..

    To me, it is a great feeling pistol. The ergonomics are right on this one.

    Is this mount through the 1911 frame?

    Yeah, that is a 90's-era mount from Jack Weigand. I have seen those mounted very nicely by using the proper jigs or a dialed-in Milling Machine. I have also seen them hacked-to-death by some schmuck who used the mount itself as the jig and drilled the holes all cattywampus.

  10. the caracal-wtf happenned to them?

    We tried to work out a deal to be their US importer. My biz partner never went into details, but said that they were "interesting to deal with". Said enough for me.

  11. Knights armament… wtf

    I never understood the infatuation with KAC. When I was doing some prototyping of a rifle for the Army's C-SASS contract, someone sent me a KAC test target for their SASS. It was 2-3 moa. Not very impressive, to say the least. And, IIRC, it was with M118LR ammo (the really good stuff).

    Interesting barrel twist pics

    8.6 Blackout with very heavy bullets requires that fast of a twist to stabilize at sub-sonic velocities.

  13. SA-35 what happend?

    I just think that SA screwed the pooch on this one by not "fixing" the issue that most people have with P-35 ergonomics: the beavertail area. My hands get mangled from hammer bite on a Hi-Power. Frank Behlert used to weld up a beavertail like a 1911 onto the Hi-Power and it felt great. It...

  14. Glock 47

    A good description is "a 17 Slide on a G45 frame".

  15. School me on ar9 9mm's

    AR9's have some advantages (mainly "familiarity of the platform"). Set up right, they're highly-accurate and low-recoiling. I build a lot of them for Steel Challenge and USPSA competitors and see just a few issues. Triggers can be tricky and you should definitely have a spare Firing Pin...

  16. Glock Performance Trigger

    Most Timney Alpha Trigger "failures" that I am seeing are the result of improper installation (or more-accurately: "lack of tuning"). The tension of the Connector is critical on the Timney and if not tweaked, will result in failures to re-set. Early iterations of the Alpha had the screw that...

  17. Glock Performance Trigger

    That is truly "a thing". There's a lot to be said for "what you're used to". That being said, I have a Timney en route with a Johnny Glocks VEX trigger shoe. The JG shoe is supposed to really refine what Timney was trying to do.

  18. Glock Performance Trigger

    The flat-faced trigger is not the only enhancement of the Performance Trigger. It has a different interface between the sear and the Firing Pin, which makes for a completely different feel.

  19. I wouldn't sell any ARs or AKs right now.

    How in the heck does a broke-assed kid get two DD's, 375 rounds of ammo, and a handgun, all reportedly purchased legally in a short timeframe, immediately after his 18th birthday? I am not a tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorist ("Bush did 9/11" type), but some things ain't adding up. And...

  20. 1911 Dilemma

    Although that's what they're for, using Range Rental guns for test-drives can be tricky. Sure, you can get an "idea" of what the gun is or isn't, but I wouldn't form hard-and-fast opinions solely on Rentals. Most rental guns that I see are dirty as heck and not maintained at all. They are...
