So, you just grind everything down on the driveway until it looks good? Seriously, nice rifle.

That's a beauty, Mike! What caliber? Barrel length? What brake is that? On another, more technical note, what does truing the action involve? Christopher

I'm not sure what PK means however if you buy from an individual you wont need an FFL. You can do a private transfer. As the buyer show your driver's license, FID card and fill out 2 copies of a certificate of eligibility that you can download off the NJSP website. 1 copy to you, 1 copy to the seller. After that, you can buy and have shipped to your house any other parts. Good luck. It's addictive. C

Hand loads. Currently a mixed bag but I will be going A-Max over Varget after the next couple hundred rounds. I am trying to get comfy behind the rifle right now, nothing more than that. C

Sorry. I should have put a smile emoji. I got all that. This is a new game to me. Gonna take me some time to get it all dialed in. C

What...?

Harris Bi-Pos up front and a home made rear bag. My best group at 100. 4 good ones and a brutal flyer. The nut behind the trigger got a little loose...

I was able to see and handle one last time I was at my mom's house. They are extremely difficult to come by (per the sales guy) and a lot of fun. As much as I'd like one, I wouldn't pay 3g's for it. I'd build one and get the stamp(s). Just a dream at this time... C

Going to Aaron Lewis. Just saw Eric Chruch again. He's awesome. Want to see Zac Brown if possible. C

I'll be working and taking my bow test!!! C

I have one on my AR. It seems accurate enough. Finish is nice and the fit up was perfect. It is one of their "ready made" barrels and for the price I couldn't be happier. C

You will also need files. Several. And I would recommend a frame holding fixture so you don't crush your frame in the vice. Oh, I know you've already alluded to it, but a bucket load of patience should be gotten in short order. I'm on the journey myself. I'm still collecting parts. Check 1911forum.com for the gunsmithing and for sale sub-forums. Lots of good stuff. C

This might help.

Fantastic. Thank you. C

Can you walk me thru some dry fire exercises please? C

If I ever do, you'll get a PM. Thanks. Thanks as always Homie. C

So... I love the rifle. It's still a lot more accurate than I am. I shot it at 100 but was having some ammo issues so it wasn't the best time. Moved over to the 200. I'm about 2" at 200 which will come down considerably once I get the ammo figured out. All in all I'm very pleased. C

Thanks gents. I can pull 2-3 DA revolver pulls without dropping a penny. Good practice on a rifle as well. Thanks. C

Again, remember I suck. That said the rifle does seem to shoot fairly well. I'll be doing 5 shot groups and am seriously looking forward to putting some ammo thru this guy. Thanks for the nice words. C

Just a caveat about any targets I post: I suck. Like really suck at rifle shooting. Worse than pistol which for those that have shot with me means its really bad. I just wanted to put that out there. C

I picked this up late last year. I got a couple of chances to run some rounds thru it an was pretty impressed with the rifle. More accurate than me and easy to shoot. However I wanted to change a couple of things and had the opportunity to get it done a couple of weeks ago. I dropped the rifle with Tier 1 Defense in Mountainside and had them cut 5" off the barrel and put an 11 degree crown on it. I also had them cerakote the barrel black. I am thrilled with the work and will be shooting it on Monday morning out to 200. I may look at bedding it in the future but want to see how it shoots first.

For what it's worth I just got my rifle back from Tier 1 and couldn't be more pleased. It's gorgeous and super clean. C

Yeah, seriously. C

I haven't transferred anything through Chuck at Patriot however he's a super good guy and extremely easy to deal with. If he has stock, his prices are fair. He sent a rifle out for me and was fantastic. He worked with me on the whole deal. Christopher

I second Tier One. Mike and the crew are very good and very professional. I am having work done by them currently and will post pics when it comes back. I may bed my rifle later in the "season" however it shoots well enough for me right now. We'll see how it is in a thousand rounds or so. C
