Custom work on my Colt
So since hockey got locked out and I don't think its gonna get resolved anytime soon, my season ticket money needs to go to good use! I'm looking into sending my Colt 80 series in for some custom work done. Here's my short list of work in more or less order of importance: -Install and tune new skeletonized trigger -install extended slide release -refinish entire firearm (standard blue or royal blue) -install novak sights (maybe night sights) -install front slide serrations -install front strap checkering Question is, is it worth sending to Colt or is this something local smiths can handle. This gun is gonna be my go to gun when it comes to training or self defense so I want it looking and feeling right. Opinions? Here's what it looks like currently

Stored with Slide back
fair enough just wondering

Stored with Slide back
Not disagreeing but if its been loaded for three years how do you know its OK? I'm assuming you periodically shoot it but keep it loaded at home?

Any F 15 fans out there.
I don't know how or when. But flying in a fighter is on my bucket list.

AR pics, lets see'um!
I don't care for the full length handguard at all, especially when its all rails. I actually like the look of a short guard with maybe half rails and the contour of the barrel. Pretty much like my diamondhead v-rs or the RRA Operator style

AR break-in & cheap ammo
I honestly don't think it matters between steel or brass but your gun will tell you quickly if it's going to cycle the steel or not. Make sure you keep it lubed to break it in.

question about training
I have a standard a2 stock. I don't remember honestly how tight it was against my face. Never thought of that. Lol. If I had to guess the headache was from my jaw. It was outside so noise wasn't a big issue other than one time I put up my rifle and knocked my muffs a little off. Even that wasn't a big deal.

Defensive Carbine 9/8 +1 to GAPP
Booo I'll be in the middle of the Caribbean those days. Looks like I'll have to wait for the pistol.

question about training
Wow thanks t bill. I don't remember any particular eye sensitivity. I've shot this rifle plenty, though maybe not with the regularity of this day in particular. I have a miculek comp on my rifle so my blast sucks for the guys standing next to me but not so bad for myself. I think I'll buy a mouth guard for the next class and see if it helps.
-
question about training
So I took the carbine training with GAPP (very recommended) but after my jaw hurt pretty bad and I had a decent headache. The headache itself isn't a surprise per se but I think that and my jaw pain was caused by clenching my teeth while shooting. Anyone else have this issue? I assume that just using a standard sports mouth guard would help resolve the problem.

For sale section
I have no problems with the prices on the forum. Like others have said its only worth what someone will pay for it. If you want to make an offer do so, if not just go for a new one. Don't see the harm.
