I'll agree with stevea1. They don't let go but your skin does.

Lucky, yes he was. Not feeling the difference in recoil should have been your first, oh crap thought. I have stuck my share of bullets in barrels but never tried to push it out with another bullet. Growing up on a range I have saved many from putting another in the barrel and yes have seen the after effect of those not so lucky. Chalk this one up to dumb luck. Be safe out there!

Ken and Irene would stay for several months at a time at my parent's range in northern Indiana. First it was to prep for the Indiana AP State match and Bianchi Cup and then it became all summer. I remember Ken just being humble and trying to help out where he could. He started out as just a quiet guy, then we would talk and shoot for hours. He gave me my first scope mount for my race gun, couldn't wait for Ray Saltzman to mount it. When I started shooting as fast as Ken, he would say "I think I need that mount back" and just grin at me. The Bianchi Cup team from England would show up and just have a blast with Ken on the range. Simple good times. Goodbye my friend, thanks for all the lessons and stories.

Sorry if I missed another thread or the comments in this one, but is the jury out on the Duramag? Looking to acquire more mags for my older STI steel gun. I know buy and cry once but hey if they work, why not. Thoughts?

Good luck to all this week. Hope someone will take a few minutes to keep us updated. I just realized it has almost been 30 years since I was last there. Great times, worlds best shooters and a family I will never forget. Cheers from the Reinholt's of Winamac, Indiana.

I'm glad I came across this thread. I was considering building a cheap Caspian widebody for 9mm Minor to screw around with and let new shooters dip their toes into the sport. Shot them in the past and loved them then. I don't need the headaches. Thanks for the info.

My prayers will go out to his family and friends. My brother, did the same thing with a pistol he won at the Bianchi Cup back in the early 90's, devastating our family and shooting community. It was the largest viewing and funeral our town had ever witnessed. His family will need a lot of love for a long time.

EGW makes a BOMAR cut mount. Put it on my old single stack race gun but have not fired it yet. It is low but the plate still is on top of the slide.

Question for those in the know, Do we now have two "Action Pistol" (what I would have labeled NRA Action Pistol) governing bodies?

Thanks for the input. Will check out the other site as well.

I have a line on 5K boxes of Sellier & Bellot standard 22LR for a low price, not sure the type. Has anyone shot it and had decent results? Is it consistent, dirty? Shooting a 10/22 with Ruger lightweight barrel and S&W 41.

Finally adding optics to my M1A. I have a good SMI mount but was thinking I should upgrade to a better stock then the standard with a cheek rest added on. I have seen mixed reviews of the Archangel Adjustable Precision Rifle Stock. Anyone have one that can comment? Would love a Magpul that is built up like the Archangel or a Boyds fully adjustable but have not found any of those. Looking for some guidance.

I know we have been discussing Springfield's new widebody in another post but has anyone seen TriStar's new widebody offering. Not saying I'm going that avenue but it now seems everybody is making one. They are also offering a .38 Super Race gun but have not seen it in any online dealers adds yet.

Good Luck and Welcome to the forum. Be Safe, Shoot Straight and then get Fast.

Welcome, we have several clubs in the SC area to compete weekly. Show up and get connected with us locals. Many of us shoot multiple disciplines so ask away.

Welcome and hello from McCormick.

Welcome and thank you for your service!

It is. Local guys used what they had back in the day. I had it on an old Caspian frame that is now hosting my Pachmayr 22 LR conversion.

Many years ago, I inherited a Colt 38 Super slide and barrel bushing that were threaded. The slide shows the standard barrel bushing slot cut as well. Question, was this a fad at one point and why would someone do this? The person whom we acquired the slide from has since passed on but I'm curious to when this type of practice was common or was experimented on back in the day. We have had this slide since the late 80's.

Nolan & Dtsdave, thanks for the input. Having someone who has a split slide like mine (like a model 41) and tried a GSG mag is good enough for me to buy and do the same.

If you are going to pull the trigger on a 45 ACP build, take a look in the classifieds. Someone just posted several mags to start you process. Good luck.

I have one of the Pachmayr 1911-22 Conversion .22 LR, MFG Peter Stahl top ends. It shoots great and have had no issues. I only have 2 mags for it. Does anyone have experience with any current manufactured mags? It gets kind of expensive to buy and try these days. Every time I have it at the range, no one has a conversion kit and of course when I don't have it there someone does have one. Just my luck.

Great topic and lively discussion here. Little late to the party but I am also looking for a barrel for my G34 (gen 3). I acquired G34 slide comp'd and ready to go. Plan to dress it back to production. Have to buy a barrel. My CO G34 (gen 4) loves 115gr FMJ but hates 125gr lead .355 dia. Want something that will shoot all the ammo I have. Just getting back into the game with both kids in out of state college so price is a factor but I want some accuracy. Plenty of trigger time here, I'm a high master in NRA Action Pistol. Glock gets me in the game for now, 2011 once the kids are out of college.
