Thread: Guns Guns and MORE Guns

Found out the other day at the range it was actually 8 degrees...

Miserable

Got out to the outdoor range today and boy did it feel good to shoot outside. 56 degrees and I think we lost 8-10” of snow overnight.

Shot my EDC X9 testing some loads as our indoor range has a FPS limit at 1,000. Also got about a hundred rounds through my Les Baer PII.

Got a big boost from the winter blahs.

Finally managed to get them out for an hour today. Was supposed to be taking a buddy but he pulled out at the last minute. So I just went along myself.

Since I only had myself to fire off the clays I only got 50 out of the traps, and wasn't really taking it too seriously. I did abysmally lol, but I really was more interested in just putting some shells through them.

They ran admirably, they were kickibg a little harder than I expected with 21g cartridges in, but they are pretty light.

Sometimes those old single shots will beat you up a bit.

Some old Kongsberg rifles.

Interesting bit of info, I would have never thought it. I have three 1911's. One Kimber Super Carry Pro thats 4" in .45acp, a Sig Nightmare thats 5" in .357 Sig, and a Taurus 5" (only thing thats Taurus is the actual slide and frame) in .45acp.

Slides should interchange right? Wrong. Absolutely none would fit on the other.

What started it is that the Taurus has a magnificent trigger anf I wanted to see what groups I could shoot. I guess I need to work on the Sigs trigger...

I've been away from this thread for awhile... I built two ARs from 80% lowers, one polymer and one aluminum. I have a reflex on the polymer and a 16" barrel. It's set up as a short range gun, and the aluminum I set up for mid-range coyotes. I bought myself a Springfield loaded 1911 for Christmas and two days ago I was in the shop looking at smaller carry guns and ended up walking out with a Taurus PT111 G2.

On Saturday, I picked a combo pump and semi I had on order. And just because I happened to be there I looked at a few rimfire bolts found an old BRNO I liked. Turns out I can't fight the voices. Both are now in my cabinet.

Got that combo pump / semi out the other week to shoot some clays. It's a bit of a beast.

Also took a trip out and bought a gsg 1911 in .22, I got it for £125 as it wasn't cycling. Stripped it cleaned it, got rid on hydrocoating inside the slide and on the frame, lubed it up a bit, and it's firing like a champ. Normally the sell for £300> second hand.

I finally broke down and bought a Nelson Conversion and installed it on a SW1911TA that used to be my bedroom gun. Stripped all the parts from the S&W and installed Wilson Combat Bullet Proof trigger, sear, hammer, disconnector and wide single sided thumb safety. No slop in trigger and a very nice, clean break at 2# 10oz. ALso added an Ed Brown two piece main spring housing in chainlink that I had in my parts bin. The Nelson Marvel Conversion is fantastic.
