I am not sure that Bill is the one to follow. Seems there are people that shot better than him.

Thanks for sharing.

Where do you get all the oil if you can't buy foreign products? Alaska comes to mind.

What is a C&R FFL permit? I like to save money but not at the expense of having the ATF watching over me?

I don't really see a problem with that. We were certainly self supporting up until a few decades ago.

Jim, I agree that it is getting harder and harder to "buy American" these days. I think our salvation rests in having "our government" (read that us) ensure that importers are held to the same standards as US companies in the US. If there is a truely level playing field, including labor, evironmental and materials then the issue would be non exisistant. I own a F250 because I need a pickup truck. The wife drives a small SUV made in the US. Little by little, I am working to ensure the products I buy are made here. Sometimes I go without because what I want isn't made in the US anymore. Unless we want to lower our standard of living to support the growing nations overseas people need to wake up. I am positive you are correct when you tell us that we do not want to see you naked!

I feel for ya bro. I had a similar incident about 10 years back. A blow directly to my eye. My eye doc rushed in from the golf course to treat me. (really love him for that) I had to be imobilized for a week. I had the same symptoms as you. He really wanted to put me in the hospital. After all was said and done it was only a couple for months before the debris cleared up enought for my eye to feel normal. I think there may be some hope. Doctors usually give the worst case scenerio. The accident realy put things in perspective for me and my eyes. I visit the eye doctor regularly and wear my safety glasses for dang near everything I do except watching tv. SLM couldn't be more right. You only get one set. Even 50% is unacceptable.

I am getting really tired of hearing people whine about all of the jobs moving overseas. If you purchase your goods that are made in counries on another continent, then you are part of the problem. I live near a LARGE retail store that started life proclaming that we should buy American. With new leadership that has become a thing of the past! If we want our country to survive economically we have to invest in our own future.

AMEN

If I can't get tickets at retail price, I don't go. I firmly believe that charging above retail is wrong. Would you buy a gun that was priced higher than it's normally accepted value? It promotes people to continue when they can make a buck.

Sweet! I can justify a mill finally! Wife's gonna love that. So that begs the question. . . anyone know where I can get a decent will for a reasonable price? And, what is a reasonable price? I have purchased a ton of stuff from these guys http://www.hgrindustrialsurplus.com/ They also have tooling. It is the old fisher body plant.

I couldn't agree more. Why help build a Walmart like empire?

Yes "best" is subjective. What I should have said is who can provide a quality frame that is slightly oversized for fitting. I have looked at Caspian and Les Baer and see that there are a lot of people using them. Anybody had any issues with Rock River? I have not even seen one from them. Thanks for your help.

I want to build my own 1911 from scratch. I have a military match slide and a Barsto barrel so far. My question is: What frames are available that require fitting? I did a search for replacement frames but found nothing.

Love mine....Makes a Dremel look pretty anemic.. I wouldn't know what to do without my Foredom. Hanging or bench model work great especially coupled with the foot pedal for speed control.
