New Acquisitions for November 2006!

[Pilgrim]

Get the Tapco stuff. I got mine years ago and you'll swear you're shooting a different rifle. Easy to install too !

Get the following parts:

g2 single hook: http://www.tapco.com/proddesc.aspx?id=7e9282ab-047c-4a52-98cb-aaf3a97e4f7d

retaining plate: http://www.tapco.com/proddesc.aspx?id=a6d831d9-7032-41e7-b118-95fc4a96e9ab

The plate replaces the crappy wire and just snaps into place, whereas the wire can take you hours to get back in the right place. It's well worth getting.

So does it feed those Hydra Shoks? Most of the M1911A1s that I've shot DISPISE anything that isn't 230gr FMJ.

Still awesome grab!

Just a plain 1911, and will be bringing the gun to the range to make sure it does. Only have the mag loaded to carry in the house to grow accustomed to the weight.

I wonder how many AR owners have gotten strange looks or questioned by "the man" about the "U.S. Property" marked lower?

 

[Skald]

Sweet! Enjoy your new RRA.

It's a joke (or sarcasm)...

 

[Twigg]

The Deval made me do it Part II.

Something I've been putting off for too long is now mine.

I'm gonna take some time off tommorrow morning and get acquainted with my new friend here.

OK bigger pic thanks to Photobucket !

 

[Pilgrim]

MrTwigg, Did it come from Fourseasons?

How much if you don't mind saying. I need to know when to stop saving !

Looks like the 4 incher ?

whered you get the infidel sheet?

i like that...sweet gun too...ive been thinkin of gettin 1 myself

 

[Nashmack]

damn, I sold all my firearms, now that I'm single again I could use a good 4" .500

 

[EddieCoyle]

Welcome to the club MrTwigg. The 4" S&W 500 is my favorite gun to shoot.

It looks like you have lead bullets there but the compensator installed on the gun appears to be the one for jacketed bullets (I'm a geek, I know). If you leave it on there and shoot the lead, you'll be picking lead out of the compensator for a while.

I hope you reload, it's a lot more fun to shoot that way, and way cheaper. PM me if you'd like some good sources for components.

Enjoy!

 

[Rockrivr1]

PM me if you'd like some good sources for components.Enjoy!

If you wouldn't mind, could you PM me who you are using as a source for the S&W 500 components. I'm in the process of getting a Dillon 550 to reload 45s and S&W 500 rnds. This info would be helpful. Thanks!

You weren't kidding about running out to FS right away!! I saw the time you posted and thought "oh, he can't really be serious"

Nice pick up!

 

[Twigg]

Actually...

I had it on order I'd made up my mind last week and went in last Saturday to pay for it.

 

[Dirtypacman]

Congrats thats a beautiful piece!!

Wow good eyes ! yeah, I did change out the compensator before I went out this morning.

I put 20 rounds of 330GR hard cast RNFP through it today. All I can say is "WOW !". I've got to say this on one friggin impressive revolver ! When I fire it single action the trigger is like a dream, smooth, crisp & easy. Double action is almost as good. I don't have much experience with revolvers but this one is sweet !

As they say if one is good, two is better. I want - no I need the 8" barrel one too !

Maybe I could just tell MrsTwigg they have interchangable barrels ?

whered you get the infidel sheet?

i like that...sweet gun too...ive been thinkin of gettin 1 myself

Actually it's a shirt. (I'm a large man.) Get one now for your next nanny-state mandated diversity / sensitivity meting !
I got my INFIDEL shirt here.

[fubar]

FSG's last Wasr-10 ( more are coming soon ) and the last 4 30rnd mags in the shop. Semi De-gooped with brake cleaner,( all done now). Waiting for Sunday to make some noise.

 

[Twigg]

Nice grab !

You just had to grab the last 30 rounders too didn't you ?

 

[fubar]

Thanks , I am pretty happy right now. .. There will always be mags around I think. But they may get very expensive ...

My wife doesn't believe me when say ' Okay , thats it. I don't need any more guns."

.... I don't need a large bore revolver or an FAL or a Thompson gun or a 37 mm flare launcher or ..... But I want them.. maybe just one more in a few weeks.

 

[Twigg]

.... I don't need a large bore revolver...

...But I want them..

Ya had me going fer a second there !

Twins!

 

[Pilgrim]

Nice ! What's that 'dimpling' behind the serations?

 

[adweisbe]

Nice ! What's that 'dimpling' behind the serations?

Brownells grip tape. The wood grip gun is the new one, mods are as follows:
1. Smith corrected ledge on breech face so it will dent the brass less
2. Cocobolo double diamond grips, hogue hex grip screws
3. S&A MSH/Mag well
4. Dawson fiber optic front sight
5. Grip tape behind slide serrations for easier cocking with hammer down
6. Dawson slow cam firing pin stop, my smith believes this stop is made by EGW.
6. Wilson combat uber extended single side safety, it provides one massive mamajama platform for your thumb to rest on. I think it needs to be reshaped.
7. Not yet, but I am working on it, a Greider Precision short solid trigger that fits the MASSIVE trigger track they milled into the frame (.94, .92 or less is standard) so the trigger doesn't rattle like a pebble in a tin can.


Alumagrip (Old) gun:
1. Aggressive checkered alumagrips
2. S&A mag well
3. Dawson F/O front sight
4. Greider Precision solid short trigger
5. Colt Series 80 hammer, believe it to be forged
6. Colt Series 70 grip safety, it has been totally ruined cosmetically when it was worked on (not by me)
7. EGW O/S firing pin stop
8. Smith fixed ledge on the breech face so it won't dent brass
9. Gun needs a new sear and trigger job, the trigger is pretty bad right now but it doesn't stop me from shooting it quickly and accurately.

I am also showing off my new reloading press which made all that nice shiny ammo (170 rounds) which I will use this Wednesday.

 

[Twigg]

Nice !

I've deceided I really need a 1911.
