Fusion is undertaking building a 10mm CCO for me as of today! It is reasonably priced as well, for what I am getting.

Heh, thanks for resurrection of this thread, I at least managed to find a 2" blue python since I last saw it.

Well, just because the surface is not so deep it does not mean that it is not weakened. I would get a hexaflouride test or similar and check for micro cracking and weakness. I am glad it is not as bad as it looks, but be careful!

Here it is for bore cleaning. http://www.lovemyguns.com/ Some other helpful sites with the info and some equipment. You can always WECSOG it though. http://www.extrudehone.com/ecm_faq.php http://www.kebaili.com/cat_electrodeposition.cfm

All the superstition aside, I understand that you bought it as a "California Gun", and 1911's can be hard to come by for a reasonable price. Or any gun for that matter. I would have a gunsmith take a good look at it, rather than firing it and seeing if it will blow up. A smith can replace parts...

Well, if you won't take a bunch of peoples word on it, people who know the Byrne's, and people who know the whole story, then reading select excerpts from a blog are certainly not going to convince you. To suggest the children are not safe, well... Unpopular speech is just that. Chris is not...

As I stated in my earlier post, I don't agree with some of Chris's ways of expressing himself. This does not make him a drunk or a redneck though. The comments on this thread about Team Infidel are some chickens coming home to roost for sure, but a number of folks who actually know Chris, vs...

FWIW I am personally acquainted with the Byrne's, Chris for around five years, Mel for a little less. They are upstanding folks and I am personally donating $500 to them to help out. Kim duToit and a large number of folks from The Gun Thing forum also know him personally from get togethers, and...

Not to put a too fine point on it, but cops are civilians too. We need to correct the mentality that cops are a special class of citizen. As long as the UCMJ is not applied, a civilian they will remain. Fellow citizens as it were. /threadjack

When I was a kid a woman received seven .45 ACP's to the head from her rapist. She woke up, went to the hospital and later testified. All of them hit her skull and stopped or went around to the back of her head. You never know what will happen.

oops double post...

I love my dogs too. This one was a vicious wolf hybrid that was feral and on my property in the country. I am thankful that it didn't bite my face off first. The whole story is off topic here, so I will refrain from too many details, but my first shot missed, I had a malf, and was lucky to get...

I carry heavy guns for this reason, 10mm, .357, etc. I want to have penetration, and I know I am going to get it. Now, after I have it, I want that sucker to stop. In a .45 I think ball is actually ok, but I carry 200 gr Federal Expanding Jacketed. It feeds in every .45 I own and hits at the...

I plan on it, thanks!

It is done! I just got back my bored out 646 .40 S&W revolver. It now accepts 10mm cartridges. What little I could garner from the internets told me at least one person has done this, possibly two. I used the same gunsmith and I am going to follow the advice I was given about pressure. The 10mm...
