Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Thanks Guys! I have always wondered what that meant and you definations are easy to understand. I guess it is hard to tell when someone wants you to THINK and use your God Given Brain to LEARN something. I am not here to start arguments. I am here to share what I KNOW with you. I have to grit my teeth a lot of these forums because most of you have no concept of what I am about or why I bother trying to help you. Most of you think I didn't learn anything by spending ovver 20 years to build some of the best 1911's around the planet becuase I don't build game guns anymore. Guess what? Chuck Rogers and Don Willams gave up gamne guns a long time ago , too. I used to build one in about 90 days and the day I was done with it, it was absolete. It became an Arms Race to see who could spent the most money to play a game! I have nothing aginst that, but the idea they are different inside is not true. A well built 1911 is the same inside or it wouldn't run. Perhaps I am a Troll. Sorry about that. I am too old and not forum savy so perhaps my time is wasted here.
  2. Thanks, Flex. I thought it was aimed at me, but perhaps not. I still would like to know a troll description. I might want to be one!
  3. I rent mine, along with the machinist. It cost about $50.00 an hour for the best.
  4. Thanks Leo. I really didn't know that and it is good information. The parts business sucks right now and it is very hard to ge decent ones lately. I have seen those machines in action at Bill Jarvis's shop and they are awsome. Am I trolling? Do I have a business I don't know about? Wow ,are you guys perceptive. What is a troll, anyhow? Maybe I are one!
  5. Do you think they have their own foundry? Do you think they have some $40,000 molds there? They are probably Ed Brown's. Now we nned to know who makes them for him. Why do you care who made it? All I care about is if it works.
  6. I have a fixed ghost ring replacement in the shop. I do not know who made it. It is Kewl, Man!
  7. I would smack the slide/barrel back with a wooden dowel of the right size. It has to be done and the wood works great for me as far as not damaging the parts as a metal rod would. Tap tap tap.................
  8. Thanks Mike! Coming from you that is very meaningful! I will give myself a raise.
  9. I am a master of distance education and have been doing it for six years. I was the first. I think it is a thing of the future. Every big shot in the 1911 business said it couldn't be done. I did it and it has been a great success. I like the idea of having a distance education thing here in AZ. I will go down and check it out this winter.
  10. The picture did not do it justice, I guess. Early on in the .38 Super game, smiths were destroying slides on a regular basis trying to make them lighter so the Supers would run faster. They were cutting away the insides similar to the way cut away the slides on the LW Commanders. They broke a lot. SHRED mentioned the only ad I ever ran and it got me one good man named Rich. It also got me a lot of crap phone calls and I only ran it for two or three issues of Front Site. I have built a few race guns. One was one of three in the country , a hi cap .40. On a good day, you could cover the holes in a 50 yard target with a silver dollar. Smith! I have three websites with my name , rate and horsepower on them. Wait until next week, though, as I am out of minutes until Midnite on the 6th. I am sure if I saw your work in person I would love it.
  11. Thanks for the nice remarks. I gotta love you guys. Notice the side ports on the comp. I thought I was a genius until I saw The Gammon many years later. Charles was way ahead of all of us. Let me just say this and then you can terrorize me all you want. I designed and built about a dozen of these comps because I did not want the smoke blasting up in front of my Scope Lens. They worked great, but I got out of comp guns right after this one became extinct and the Hi Caps took over. Guees what? No one caught on and you are still blowing the smoke up in front of the lens like a choo choo train. I don't care who does what. I quit the games many years ago. I did build a hi cap sister this gun and it was the biggest PITA I ever built. It held 38 -40 rounds(?) in the huge magazine and you could load it on Sunday and shoot all week! (Just Woofin guys!) Chuck Rogers did the machine work to my specs and we had a rocket port cutter made so we would use the gasses to the utmost. This gun shoots like a .22. It does not have an expansion chamber. It has rocket ports. It has a two pound trigger and goes bang everytime you pull it. It has a nice clean Star Wars look to it and it is a honey as far as I am concerned. It handles better than anything I have seen built by the "Me Too" guys and it never needed a handle on it to cock it. I think the contemporay guns are ugly. Sorry! I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
  12. Oh, were you the "first"? I did this one 16 years ago.
  13. I have broken two Ed Brown Thumb safetys over the years trying to fit them My fault both times and I returned them and was sent replacements free of charge even though I told the gal is was my fault. Not bt return mail either. They were shipped to me right after I called and crossed in the mail. On the last PATRIOT class I went back to Ed brown thumb safetys. I have had several of Chip's break. He had trouble with his supplier and fired them. So much for that! If you have replacement parts standing by, you defeat Mr. Murphy! Our success depends on my selection of parts. I do not give away what I sell.
  14. The sear and disconnector in Colt 1911's are MIM and I like these parts. Thewy are a nice gold color and very hard. I had to make a Charles daly run for a friend and the MIM parts were so hard I almost could not cut them enough to get it to run. I got rid of them, installed a new barrel and trigger, and it finally ran 100%. I will never do that again. That was just one gun. Maybe all the rest of them are swell!
