What did you do today in the world of firearms?

[usrifle]

er, magic touch?1911's don't need anything except in some cases, feed ramp polished...

Haha . . . the one that I brought him DOES need some magic.

I don't dare to shoot it in the current condition.

Truth there...Parts falling off, about a 9.5lb trigger pull and and some suspect Grip safety fitting. I'm pretty sure i heard the Hammer come out when we pulled out of the driveway.

[Ops]

that's why you buy a glock it will never let you down , even if you mistreat it.

1911's are like wives always costing you money and you always want to upgrade

Truth there...Right after celebratory hugs and kisses from my first two customers, and securing usrifle's pistols in my secret underground bunker, I immediately got to work on MadPick's gun. First by stripping and cleaning, the gun and lower parts. The plunger tube was ready to shoot off like a gangbanger on New Year's Eve. The grip safety saw my collection of files and laughed. The grip screw bushings shook right out. The sear slid out the backdoor...then the hammer pin...the hammer pin received the Black Hammer. Seriously it was stuck. The trigger followed suit and didn't want to come out. Little did I know that after making the trigger submit, all the parts would combine themselves into MEGATRON. I dove behind my collection of raw hides for concealment and cover, and threw them at my opponent. Creating such confusion allowed me to engage the magnet of my Noga base and prohibit any movement while I disassembled him like #5. I hope that while I take a break for lunch he doesn't have a trick like the Iron Giant and beacon himself back together.

This is truly a special gun.

Hah! I already upgraded from the first Wife and my 1911's Needed nothing....and i exaggerated on Steve's.

Except the part about the Trigger pull.

...and It doesn't matter what you do to a Glock, it's still ugly.

I'm sure glad I didn't tackle that on my own.

Note to self: Don't get the gunsmith all worked up.

Don`t expect a discount on your refinish.

Refinish? Who needs a refinish on a 98% Colt 1911 made in 1916? {Sportsdad starts stroking his 1911 saying 'Precious...sooooo precious...' in a gravelly voice}

The "Post YOUR random gun pics" thread is elsewhere, this is the "What did you do today" thread.

[sportsdad60]

Ha! Good post! :)

Okay, back on topic...

Range week-end again (every week-end) and shot 100 rds of .357 mag in a S&W 66-3, 6". Still shoots holes through holes at 50 feet....

25 test rounds of 44 Mag with Xtreme 240gr copper plated bullets and 24 gr of
H-110. The accuracy went up a notch! But so did the kick! (Ruger 44 Mag Carbine "Deer Stalker" rifle)

Gratuitous Gun porn in the wrong thread?

Forgiven, considering the subject manner preceeding and the 98% WWI Colt 1911 pictured.

Carry on.

Any problems with stripping the plating off the bullets?

BTW I have one of those rifles myself, 2nd or 3rd year production, I can't remember.

After that hellishly ugly rack fell forward the other day I had a handful of hooks leftover, none were seriously damaged so I decided to drill directly into the studs in the wall and just affix said hooks right in. Doing so, I also learned the framing is all kinds of fucked up in this room at least. One wall has studs at 17 inches instead of 16, another has them at 15 1/4 and the last one has them at 20 inches.

Yikes

Dude....what happened to your window blinds? Crazy Bitches clawing their way in?
