addicted

I know my way around the internals of a 1911 pretty well but don't want to mess with anything until I confirm that there is a problem. Are you sure this is made in brazil? If that the case That pisses me off. I have to dbl check the paperwork that came with it. Ill see if I can find an email address for sa and send them some pics.

I was thinking it may just be a cost cutting measure. Here's a few more pics before I head to bed. It's not much. Maybe .5mm.

Brand new

Most 1911's that I've handled have a nice smooth transition between the slide and frame by the hammer. My new Springfield has this weird step that I didn't notice when I bought it. The extractor hangs out pretty far too. IT is fully in battery and shoots fine. It also hangs up a bit on the disconnector. So much so that you can feel it when firing. The slide will actually get hung up on it if you release it slowly. is this typical of Springfield 1911's? I've only put about 200 rndsthrough it so maybe it just needs to break in?? I'm not an expert on 1911's but I've put 10k + rounds through my bottom of the line kimber, and it has a nice smooth transition whatever that worth. Thanks!

My check from 3/26 came back Saturday 4/6 and I picked it up yesterday.

Old mossberg tube fed bolt action 22 that shoots great but not in the best shape. Cost me $50 with the nics check!

Mine was faxed Tuesday evening. Was told to expect 7-10 days. We'll see...

I switched from progressive to esurance last fall after they raised my rate 40% for a no points ticket. No points on my lic and no accidents. I'm paying around $70/ month for full coverage on a jeep wrangler.

As far as I know the speed lawman is the same bullet profile as the gold dots and loaded to the same velocity, just without the hollow point. It's slightly cheaper for training but will have the same feel and feeding as the hp's.

i have about 8 years with the dillon 650 and picked up a 1050 in october. cant go wrong with either but the changeover cost on the 1050 is alot higher. the actual changeover is really not bad at all. if you are loading lots of crimped cases(556, 40 & 9mm are the biggest culprits), go with the 1050. the swager saves an invaluable about of time and makes everything run sooo much smoother. the hornady bullet feeder is not so good. I just sold mine on ebay. its actually slower than feeding them by hand, but again, ive been doing this for a while and can easily do 800/ hr on my 650. the price is not really that good when you consider that you need to buy the bullet dropper and it just doesnt work that well. the mr bulletfeeder is around 450 and it just plain works. the hornady is around 300. another option, witch is what i have also been doing for a while is to buy bullet droppers from mr bullet feeder some acrylic tube from mcmaster and do it like the primers.

I have a set of the impact sports I'd sell for $40. They just don't do it for me. Uncomfortable And let way too much sound through for my taste. I shoot indoors if that matters. That are pretty popular though. Lots of people wear them at the 2 ranges I frequent.

+1 on the 231

I'm in. Registered for the montvale bus. Should be an interesting trip and my first participation in a public demonstration.

686 is a great gun but if your nitpicky like I am about cleanliness get the blue model and not the stainless. Ss is a **** to clean.

Thanks for the heads up. I picked up 2.

Montana gold have any in stock? I could use about 2k 55 gr.fmjbt to load up the last of the brass I have.

So far so good. Processed crimped 9mm at 1800 rounds per hour and 223 at around 1000 per hour. Haven't loaded on it yet but it has already saved me at least 10 hours on 223 brass prep ill get a video once I have it cleaned up an painted. Have a few other projects taking priority right now.

That's a dick thing to say. PW setup is about 70% of what I paid for the USED 1050. Besides, I have the skill, equipment, and parts to make my own. And I did. It's processing 223 as I write this. Just needs some final clean up and paint.

I like rubber mats from McMaster. 1/8" thick Works well and cleans up very easily. I glue them on with contact cement.

Definately appeal. I would suggest hiring a licensed appraiser and submit their report with your appeal papers. They will find the comps for you. Make sure you point out every single possible defect on you property to the appraiser. I went through this on my place in west Milford. Was facing a 40% increase and the value they put on my place was more than I paid in late 06 at the peak of the bubble.

+1 eddie did a good job. surprised he remembered the words! (anyone who's been to a PJ show knows what I mean!)

i posted on enos and reached out to a few members via pm but got nothing. took some measurements tonight,. gonna try to lay it out on autocad at work, or have one of my guys do it for me. . . im pretty rusty. ill definitely post pics when its done, although it will be pretty much the same as the PW unit. if anyone local knows anyone that has one it would help allot. only need a few key dimensions to get the geometry right,

I'm trying to build my own and if you could share a few dimensions it wound save me some time.

I had the Wilson cheese grater as my friends called it on my Kimber for years. Started shooting steel at tenafly and was having trouble seating mags. Realized that it was slipping down and hanging up on the lip in the front of the mags. Was considering having the frontstrap checkered but for shits and giggles Took it off and put a piece of grip tape in its place. Very happy with the grip tape. Good traction and you really can't tell it's there.

I have the MVP and love it. Haven't shot any of the others so can't comment on them.
