  1. 1911 plunger tube staking tool

    Anyone have one I can borrow or come over and use? The one I was going to buy from Brownells is out of stock. Also a bit pricey for a one time use kinda thing.

  2. What is up with folks paying a gunsmith to clean their guns?!

    I don't particularly like cleaning guns (thank the Army for ruining that for me). However, I do like to shoot my guns and it is too easy and quick to do it myself to ever consider paying someone else to clean them. I did get someone else to clean a couple of older guns passed down from my...

  3. 1911 thumb safety issue

    I appreciate that information as well as your offer. I would take you up on that, but I did have to do some filing on the bar that contacts the trigger bow so I don't know how much use it would be to you at this point. It's not mangled in any kind of way, but it has been filed on. The gun...

  4. 1911 thumb safety issue

    To update this thread, I ordered a new Wilson safety and got it correctly fitted this time. I also ended up just going ahead and replacing pretty much every spring and moving part on and in the gun. The only parts I didn't replace were the ejector, extractor, firing pin, firing pin plate...

  5. 1911 thumb safety issue

    Grip safety was out this time. I just wasn't careful enough with how much I was filing off.

  6. 1911 thumb safety issue

    That's what I figured, but I was hoping I was wrong. Thanks for confirming. Guess I'll chalk that one up to cost of learning and order another one.

  7. 1911 thumb safety issue

    I am attempting to replace an ambi safety with a standard single side thumb safety. In trying to fit it, I was using the old safety as a reference for how much material needed to be removed. As I got close to where it looked like it needed to be, I was going back and forth between trying to fit...

  8. Odd mag issue with Bergara HMR.

    I may bring it by tomorrow if my schedule remains clear.

  9. Odd mag issue with Bergara HMR.

    There does seem to be a little too much movement possible with an empty mag inserted. However, there seems to be too much movement in my opinion between the stock and the barrel/action. It seems as though the stock might be kinda loose. The magazine itself looks fine and the mag catch/release...

  10. Odd mag issue with Bergara HMR.

    Yes. It seems to have same amount of tension it has before the range trip. Worked fine until around about 200 rounds in.

  11. Odd mag issue with Bergara HMR.

    I only have the one at the moment. Just bought the rifle off here recently. Mag catch seems to have good tension and the guy I got it from claims to have only fired a few rounds through it. So it supposedly has seen very little use until today.

  12. Odd mag issue with Bergara HMR.

    Any HMR owners here ever had your magazine fall out when you fire? Repeatedly? Any idea what could be causing it? So I took my new to me Bergara Wilderness HMR out to CMP today. Put a little over 200 rounds through it. All was fine and operating as expected til about the last 20 rounds. All of...

  13. Mossberg SA-20 SEMI-AUTO 20 GAUGE PROBLEM !!

    May just need to shoot more to "break it in". I had a few isssues with my CZ-920 when I first got it. After 3 or 4 boxes of shells, it was fine and I've had no problems since. Also, some new guns do need a good cleaning even though they are "new".

  14. Need good gunsmith for 1911 work.

    I never said he wrong for doing it or that I don't think he should be that way. All I was saying is that I don't believe he is the right person to ask to do work on a Rock Island, and based on everything else I've heard he probably doesn't have the time anyway.

  15. Need good gunsmith for 1911 work.

    In that case, I can't imagine what he'd say if I asked him to work on a Rock Island. While he may the best around, I decided not to waste my time seeing if he had the time or would even do it based on the brand. His website leads me to believe he's a bit snobbish about what brands he'll work on...

  16. Need good gunsmith for 1911 work.

    I was kinda hoping there was someone a little closer. Does he do Cerakote or no?

  17. Need good gunsmith for 1911 work.

    I just acquired a 10mm 1911 that I want to have bobtailed. I also need a new thumb safety and grip safety fit and installed as well as the bobtail mainspring housing, new sights installed, and Cerakote. There may be more I want done, but that's all I can think of at the moment. If I have to take...

    Bobtailed RIA

    Looks pretty good. That being said, I don't like the MSH not being flush with the frame. Needs better sights also.

    Ft. Daniel does awesome work.

    I agree...
