What's better than owning a 1911?
That was my first thought. When your ready to make some changes to that 1911-22 take a look at this sight. I have a lot of his parts and they made a difference in the accuracy. I like the mag extensions also. http://www.cwaccessories.com/

Considering Ruger 22/45
I just bought the lite model. I haven't gotten it yet but I used to have another model that I used for steel and it shoots nice and eats all I put through it.

USPS is getting worse and worse
I am never one to say anything nice about the USPS but I had packages coming from all three yesterday and the only one that made it was from USPS, the other two had to reschedule for today. Now I have had many problems with my mailman and every time I have complained it gets worse, I have seen him throw boxes at the base of my mailbox and drive away and if he needs a signature he puts a card in my box and waits until I sign it and put it back in my box. This man will not get out of his truck to do his job.

Glock Armorer's Course
I think you can learn the same stuff through videos on you tube and save the money. I have torn down my Glocks to parts and put new parts in. Unless you want to be able to buy parts cheaper from Glock why bother? For $195 you could buy ammo and get better use out of the money. Working on Glock pistols is as easy as putting together an AR lower.

9mm Range Officer
I have a STI Spartan and it is a great gun for steel. I hope Springfield gets the mags right, if not Dawson and Tripp mags seem to work for me and others have had luck with Wilson's. I have a few Wilson's and some work others not so much. They seem to nose dive much more than the Dawsons.

Sig716 patrol 7.62x51mm?
I shot the 516 today and it was nice,. This was the first piston operated AR I ever fired and it seems nice. I guess it's pretty much the same with a bigger bullet and more recoil?

What handgun to get next...
The e STI Spartan or Trojan or just out is the new FNS 9/40L. I have been waiting for this for awhile but I am looking for a 625JM now so putting off the FNS/L until they make the low cap mags for the 9mm. I have the Spartan and it is first rate and inexpensive for a 1911

Anything 12/29?
There was a match description on the obcats website but I think it's down now. Usually bird shot from 6-9 and some slugs if the MD decides to use distant steel for shotgun.

...
I also did the same thing the first time I installed a trigger into an AR. So take your shout out back as the guy a BA should of known this, I don't know what he was doing with the trigger and he probably doesn't either. Anyway good find and glad you got it straight!

Heads-Up CCW
I have seen you use a moon clips in the past but yesterday I was at the range and saw a guy using this one. I thought it was pretty cool. All you do it put the rounds in and twist and it loads. You probably used it or seen it though, but if not you may like it. http://www.bmtequipped.com/products.php I also shot a 625PC yesterday and that's is one sweet Revolver. I am slowly getting into Revos! I am kicking myself in the ass for selling my 617 but oh well live and learn.

Is this a good price for .45 STI Spartan?
I have an STI Spartan in 9mm. I love the pistol. I had some issues with it when I first got it but once I found the right mags and a little tuning it has been great. I don't think you will have any problems with a .45, I think the Spartan is the best 1911 for the money hands down!

$179???
I was looking at this also. I found some info that a guy wrote about it. He paid 250 and he was happy! I just received one today... Overall look, feel no issues. the rubber cap on the bolt handle is a little weird, wonder how long it will last? On assembly, I found the barrel on my example would not fully seat. The fore end would not seat in its channel on the front of the receiver. I traced it to the fitment of the 'tang' on the rear of the barrel being a bit oversize. it would only enter in the receiver cut about 3mm... inside the receiver cut there was a small raised burr inside the milled slot from the tang. Used a curved die mold riffler file to smooth out the burr, and gave the tang a few file strokes on each side, and deburred it. This got me to half-way, so i know it was in the right direction. Few more file strokes, and viola! fully seated barrel. Cleaned it up a bit, cold blued the tang and put it back together. I loaded some dove loads 2-3/4 for initial trial. took a second to figure out 'sequence' to get shells chambered.... sort of a weird sequence with the shell release, etc.. (any better instructions on this ?????) I attempted to fire the first ones just off hand, not shouldering the gun. it would not cycle these loads semi-auto. I found some old pheasant loads ... high brass, they would work... went back to dove loads and shouldered the gun... the gun would cycle then ... that inertia thing i think once some cycles are on the gun, it will feed anything.... any 'tips' for installing a sling swivel stud in the butt stock.... i believe the magazine cap can be drilled-tapped for a stud... any 'tips' for lubing this thing? should the gas cylinder be lubed, OD of mag tube?? for the money (I) paid... (249 + 15 +23) methinks o-k... just did not expect to have to 'gunsmith' it from the get-go

Sig716 patrol 7.62x51mm?
I have not seen very much on these rifles, has anyone ever used one of seen one? I like the looks and would be happier with and 18in barrel but they seem to be a pretty good value for a Heavy metal rifle. I haven't even seen a 556 or an x51 rifle from Sig so I have no idea on fit and finish and accuracy but I do like the looks of this one. I am thinking my next rifle will be a 308, 51mm or a bullpup 5.56. So any info on this Sig would be great. http://sigsauer.com/CatalogProductList/rifles-sig716.aspx

CZ sp-01 Shadows available
They call it the Night Shadow because it has night sights. That is the only difference from a standard SP-01 Shadow.

How much can I expect to pay for a muzzle break?
If you tried them all do you have one of the Rolling Thunder comps? If so I will buy it off you. You must have put a lot of money out for comps, I will help you get some back.
