Mat Price

well I am going to add some tint to the clear and sand down some spots before the last grip texture goes on and we will see if it still so Green goblin green

lol ok well buddy you will not hurt my feelings at all if you dont want this thing. I am sure there is Jr shooter that would love to have it. it needs a few more coats. The color didnt come out like i wanted it to. This is the first time i ever run this color through my spray gun and i tried it on some other plastic but it didnt come out this green. This is VERY VERY green lol. also I used a spray texture for griping. its pretty cool. but i am not sure about this color lol sorry man thats as close as i could come.

I have been on this forum for a while and if you go back and look at my posts and I am sure your own when ever you have a problem you can be sure Eric is always there trying to help. I saw he was having trouble finding a lime green grip so I thought to myself "self you have a lil skill in this area. and its time to do something nice for another shooter. in need" Just like the old the old gunsmith that helped me out with just the steel part of a frame He found in his parts pile I am paying it forward. I am painting eric up a grip if he wants it for free, just one i had laying around in my parts pile its still baking and needs a couple more coats of clear and i will take some pics. but hey Eric its yours if you want it buddy hello and thanks LOL

with everything brent. racker the works. weigh it clean lol could have a few ounces of grime in there like mine does most of the time. Naw not a dumb question you want to get a measurement of the reciprocating mass.

Jeff I am wanting to get an undrilled mount from Matt and fit it with just the most minimal clearance since my slide is so flat with that end mill channel cut down the center. Then its back upright with no ejection issues

john your gun really has me itching to buy one. and do what i said about getting it undrilled and dropping it even closer to the slide. That is alot of room you can drop between a flat top and a full classic

Go ahead and drop a 10 lb spring in the gun for 300-400 rounds and see if that corrects the problem. Your going to need to go up on your spring weight anyway with that light a slide running this load. Is brutal on the gun

aint me either. Not sure who that fellow is.

thanks I was also considering renting these videos much if they are using mills in the videos its not going to do me any good Building the Ultimate 1911 ...with American Gunsmithing Institute

hey brent i sent you an email dude

ok here is the a couple. 1 If your slide has been lightened that 8 lb spring sometimes is not enough to pull the round fully off the mag and get it in the chamber. 2 If you are using an upright ( not 90 degree mount) sometimes even though the brass clears the mount its slow and interferes with the next round coming up 3 have you made any adjustments to your extractor? To much extractor tension will for sure cause this jam. 4. if this happens on the last or last couple rounds it could be mag spring tension If you find that you really like the 115 mtg you can have bobby open the throat up some on that bbl and it should be fine barring none of the other problems above are present and it is just a profile issue.

Max Jr turns the same way. I agree it is smother and easier to get on target this way I jsut feel like i am loosing so much time.

desmond your aol seems a little bit short for an sti mag. The first thing i would do is increase your oal to around 1.165-1.170 if they will will fit in the mag and not rub These guns like to be run with longer oals. Now I can tell you bobby makes a quality gun. and the slide to frame fit is going to be top noth. I would try making sure your not running dry on the slide at all. and that your chamber is clean clean. Hs-6 even at 175 is still kinda dirty I keep a chamber brush and some bore solvent with me all the time after about every 100-150 rounds I just pop the barrel out and give it a quick scrub. also what weight spring are you running? and does your malfunction look like this?

I saw that Jeff. I have been working my turn the way hommie suggested pivot on strong heel it's starting to feel a lil less awkward

I am going to find out if I can get a hot lot and smash a bullet on top of it lol

Desmond who built the gun? Sounds silly but I run all my guns with mpro 7 sliming off them when I shoot never have an issue. What kind of malfunction are you having ftf? Fte? Nose dives give me some info and lets see of we can get right before you have issues the mg

shoots even better with a 10 lb spring and a 11 oz lightened slide and 3 holes in the bbl!!!!!

I always pick up all my practice brass and leave my 9 major match brass lay. I trade my production buddies my twice fired major brass for there once fired minor brass. usually 2 to 1. its fine to load until it splits in minor. But with this load i wouldnt shoot more than 2 or 3 times and toss it. My super i load it till the case mouth splits open. Just one thing though brent remember I am runing 9.9 grains of hs-6 behind a 115 in my .38 super comp gun @ 1.235-1.240 and getting 175 pf. So be very careful. I sent you an email as soon as get some from you and i get my guns back from my gunsmith. I will chrony them up. PS i am also trying out imr 4756 and a 124. I dont think I will get enough in 9 to make major commfy like but i already like it in my super.

Brent let me buy 100 projectiles from you and we can compare results

I am hoping my slow results was my chronny sensor acting up.

Eric my shueman runs faster than my turbor bbl also

Yep my gun is pretty loud to those around me. I don't notice it all. I got the 175 with fmj Rn bullets sits deeper in the case i bet if I was using 115 jhp I would have to bump also. Also since I put the three popple holes the bbl I am getting 173 out the 9 major gun I load 9.9 grains in my 38 super with the same load big 4 port hybracomp and huge old style dawsomss comp and get 175-177. Turbor bbls just seem slow. I always need 2-3 tenths more than what ever one else is using. Bump it up watch for primer flow. And for sure!!!! Up that spring this load will expose any small cracks anyplace in the gun. It's violent on the gun but man soooooo soft and flat. Do you have holes? ohhh one other thing brent, I just caught it. You are using federal Small pistol primers yes? Switch to wolf or winchester small rifle primers they are much cheaper one and two you may not be burning all the powder in the case using the spp. it is a misconception of people to think us open shooters use srp to mask pressure signs. It is to get a more complete burn. You could also you spmagnum but they are more expensive so I just use the regular wolf/tula srp. NOT the .223 they are to hard to pop off with a 17lb main spring.

I am looking for some good links that give a detailed description of how to fit a slide by hand. mostly just for educational purposes. but I do have an empty 5 inch sti slide sitting around and maybe one day would like to try my hand at it.

Videos!!!!!

This is the second one ced war the first I think they may do this one as well
