Members madryan Posted December 18, 2012 Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 My TRP project is just about to be sent off to get cerakoted... I'm thinking graphite black. I went ahead and fitted an extra extractor while it's all unfinished so I don't have to worry about messing up the finish later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tilimo Posted December 18, 2012 Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 Just picked up a Ruger SR1911 last week and it turns out it is probably a best bang for the buck @ $649.00. I was looking to get another Kimber but decided I would rather buy the Ruger and a 1000 rounds of ammo instead of the Kimber and one box of ammo. By the way the Ruger is a keeper for sure!

Members Furtive Posted December 20, 2012 Members Share Posted December 20, 2012 Anyone have experience with stuff coming out of the Phillipines? Specifically - ATI or RIA? About a month ago I decided to get a compact .45, been looking at what both of these companies are offering. My local FFL guy is pointing me to ATI - because that's what he can get ahold of. Don't tell me to drop $$$$ on a Kimber. My budget is under $600, and I don't want to get a full size 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jshaffer20 Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 Went out today and picked up a Springfield XD9. I had been meaning to get a handgun for a good while but just never acted on it. The wife told me to take money out of saving and go get one this week so I did. Got it for $400 I have Hogue Handall grips on the way for it and I will probably upgrade the sights as well. Any suggestions on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot a year of IDPA with one using the fiber optic front/plain black rear from Dawson, along with a spring kit; nice gun, and Dawson's .100 sights are the business.

Members Mesa4x12er2 Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 The price gouging/panic buying going on right now is INSANE. I've seen SCARs going for $7,000+. $700 ARs going for over $2K. PMAGS that are normally $12-15 going for over $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members driverhasabomb Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 Picked up a 1941 M39 for Christmas. Haven't pulled the receiver to get a tang date yet. Can't wait to shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since those pix were taken I've trued up all the lines and radii. The pistol's looking great. It should look fairly epic once it's all finished. Here it is as of now...

Members larryguitar Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 Having it stripped would give you a chance to melt some of those edges by the ball cut up front and the bushing/nose of the slide, if it's going to get carried. If it's a range toy, of course, you could skip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One big tip i found out about the 91/30 is make sure the stock bolt underneath the bolt is tight, dear god did it make a difference in my gun.
