Then consider my balls chopped off because in 30 days I pick up my range officer. One nut back but then most likely picking up a RIA 1911 in 9mm. Ball less again. I'm ok with that. Maybe other .22 1911 owners will get my back( Harry, Jon)

 

We got your back for the 1911-22 and the RIA 1911 in 9mm, but I do want to try the RIA when you pick her up in June..

 

I do think 1911 are and should be in 45, but how can you let such a great deign to be limited to only 1 caliber.

That's ok..I can take the jokes. I felt that way for a while too but I love the platform so much I want to use it for other stuff. So I can use 22 for OBRAMS and 9 mm for steel. Keeps costs down so I can buy more guns...lol

 

^^^^ THIS ^^^^

 

 

Which one did you get? The government, the rail or the gold cup? I have the rail version and like it allot.

Just signed out a...

 

1. Benelli M2 12ga shotgun 24" barrel

 

2. Rock River Arms 1911 w/ tactical rail and night sights

 

3. Surgeon 591 repeater action. Will be something cool one day. Have conflicting thoughts on what I want built and who to build it.

Long or short on #3? I'm quite fond of Preston's work

591 is the short action and the 1086 is the long action. Love the Surgeon actions myself. Been thinking about trying out a Big Horn out of curiosity. I think I will end up going back to Surgeon. Preston makes exceptional stuff.

 

Just had Mark Gordon from Short Action Customs "make" me another 6.5x47L barreled action off of a Surgeon 591 and a Krieger 1:8.5 T barrel. The barrel was a take off from a different build that was on a 591 as well. Still "in the white" so to speak. I will throw a trigger on, mount a scope, and bolt it in a stock to see how she shoots in the next week or so. If she is a keeper then off to Kampfeld for barrel fluting and cerakoting.

is that the polymer one?

You are correct. I have only had 1581's. I had to go look as I know a few people with 7mm WSM builds on 591's apparently there are 591'sand 591wsm's. I just assumed they were long for 7mm WSM's as the 7mm wsm dont really work to well in short actions. But the wsm action is altered for this purpose. The point of course was I was going to suggest 7mm WSM The only other action I think is equal to the Surgeon is the PGW.as far as remmy clones go.

Only the AR (link) so far for 2012... but I predict a total of 3 firearms for me this year. 1 more pistol (9mm this time. While the GF is pretty darn good with the .45, she prefers the 9mm.) and a shotgun of some sort. (Still in the research phase.)

No Ray. Its all carbon steel but has a tactical rail built into the frame for a light or laser.

 

is that the polymer one?

Humm, 7mm WSM. May consider it. I have a Stiller long action coming soon and I want to turn it into a 280AI. I have a real "cool" looking Manners stock that I want to use for this build. First time Im getting a barreled action made so I can use the stock.

Thats sorta like buying a firearm because you have ammo for it Yeah Ive done that! LOL

Ha, ha. Same here Shane. I have been jonesing for a 30-06 rifle b/c I have two boxes of black hills ammo sitting in my closet. I bought it cheap at a swap meet. Its been bugging me in the back of my mind ever since I got it. Crazy! I am also guilty of buying a firearm b/c I have spare mags lying around that I am too lazy to sell. Those mags need to be used, damn it! Lastly, I cannot stand to let a pistol purchaser's permit expire. I mean I paid $2 for the thing and it would be a sin to let it go to waste! LOL. Been guilty of running to the local gunshop and impulse buying a handgun at the 11th hour to use the permit.

 

So...do I have a problem or what?

pics?

Will post them this week. Had some range time last week and she shoots like a laser and handles recoil very nicely. The RRA 1911's were supposedly all hand fit one at a time when the company made these pistols. After field stripping this 1911, I can vouch for this to be true (at least with the one I got). Fitting is definitely a custom job. All major parts are etched with the frame serial number also. I think they stopped selling these guns to the public b/c it was too labor intensive to produce them.

 

Anyway, I always wanted one to see what all the fuss was about and I dont have any 1911 single stacks with a tactical rail in my collection so this one was calling to me. I am glad I bought it.

 

As far as negatives go, its used so the original blued finish is showing some wear. Its thin in some areas. The tubes in the Heinie night sights dont glow anymore so they need replacing. Lastly, the area of the slide where the guide rod plug resides is battered and chewed up for some reason. I am thinking that the previous owner may have been using an aftermarket recoil guide rod like a Sprinco and it was not a perfect fit. It resulted in metal banging against metal and thats whats left is the beat up steel. Right now there is a standard guide rod, plug, and spring in there and it works flawlessly. No binding or hicupps. I figure I will eventually get it refinished and when I do the beat up metal will get smoothed out too.

 

Yes, I know...pics coming soon.

Other than the rail (and that is only because I'd CCW that bad boy), that is the best looking 1911 I've seen in a while!

Thanks Ray. I'm going to attach my surefire x400 laser/light combo to the rail. It may be my home defense gun one day.

Well today was a bulk purchase day. Somebody was getting rid of all their guns cheap so I bought them all for a score. Picked up 4 shotguns, 3 rifles, case of shotgun shells, 5 boxes of 30-30 ammo and a small long gun safe for 400 bucks. Shotguns are a mossberg 500 at, Springfield 67d, marlin 120 magnum and a Enders royal service SxS. Rifles are a sweet scoped marlin 336 in 30-30, marlin 25mb midget magnum and cheapo seats model 2 22 bolt action rifle. All guns wih the exception of the SxS are near mint. I would have paid 400 for just the marlin alone.

Joe what is the production year of the 336?

I haven't added any of my purchases since the beginning of this thread, where I mentioned my Savage 10FCP-K.

 

I've added a Mosin Nagant a few months ago, Benelli Supernova Tactical two weeks ago, and a Henry H001 lever action earlier today.

 

Putting in for permits for pistols in the next week or so, so I can get the FN 5-7 and hopefully P220 as well.

Im not going to bore anyone with all my little in out stuff. The keepers are:

 

GA Precision Custom build on Iron Ridge Arms reciever set in .260 Rem.

AIAWSM in 338LM
