Polymer lowers I have been around two different kinds of these newer polymer lowers. I purchased two of the EP Lowers and found they liked a lot to be desired in fitment to three different uppers I tried them on. The take down pins were off center from the hole not allowing the pin to go in and...

SEE "Hands on Reveiw of the 1911 Mechtech CCU" Thanks!

Nice find!! Wow, nice find! The memories can be relived again and again! Congrats!! Happy Shooting!!!! :)

Manganese and zinc parkerizing are available, I have found that the manganese finish such as our military uses, provides the best finish. It also works well as an undercoat for sprayed on coatings such as CeraKote and as another example the DuraCoat. I would recommed both if it will be a rough...

Take a breath and for goodness sake as a someone new to reloading, please err on the SAFE side! Different powder manufacturers will list all the components they used to test their loads, ALWAYS follow the powder manufactures recommendations for said loads and work them up slowly to the maximum...

No bubbles busted, however once you realize, like his letter reference stated, that many a MIM part are outsourced you and I again can not know for sure other than the word of a said manufacturer! That outside source of course can make any claim they wish until you metallurgic-ally prove them...

Dpris, maybe yes, maybe no, you and I will never know for sure, many manufactures are having so called MIM parts die cast overseas in order to save money, It cost a lot to set up initial MIM making for parts, this can only be offset in making millions of said parts or in other words, in the long...

Use your time wisely! I will punch primers on one occasion, then do the case trimming on another, clean and size pockets on another. I do it at times in the evening while watching TV, this allows me to have all my brass ready to load when I have a rainy day or its to cold for my thin blood to be...

Thanks for the laugh Stargazer65. I know you were frustrated but all I could do was laugh! Been there!! :banghead: If ignorance was only a commodity!?! :what:

I agree that it's a case neck that was left behind and that cartridge grabbed it. If you look close, magnifying glass, I bet you can see where that cartridge started the left over piece up into the throat of the barrel probably rounded it, maybe even touched the rifling a bit then smashed it...

Yes, I had to cut some out of the review for space considerations! The 16" barrel proved to be accurate, bench rest showed you could cover the holes with a quarter at 25 yards with most factory RN ammunition. The accuracy was better with +P reloads, we had no problem with putting fear on soda...

PartII Hands on reveiw of 1911Mechtech CCU This piece weighs 1lb 11.6 oz without the firing pin block, about 2llbs with it. Once fired, this weight, along with the recoil spring tension and the initial drag of the just fired expanded case, is what keeps the fired case from pulling out of the...

I've been reading about and seeing these CCU’s popping up, I have no idea just how many of these CCU's are out there but they come in many varieties/calibers for Glock and 1911s. The first thing many will notice is the versatility and being able to adapt them and make it their own. The idea...

Safety Really?? If this was indeed about safety, then this technology should be applied to cell phones, not firearms. Especially seeing how many accidents are caused by people who drive and text, call, even having accidents while walking and using a cell phone. If the cell phone is moving it...

There is the problem. If you are reloading a weaker round its not the grain of bullet you are using but the weaker power from the under loading of said bullet! Look at a reloading manual you will see that lighter bullets use more powder than a heavier one and for good reason, Energy! In this...

Good question I have found out, no they don't. They say they are weighted to feel the same but I found out they do not distribute the weight the same as a fully loaded real version of what you would carry. Total weight, yes they are close. I have however and you can to, weigh the thing down in...

MifflinKid, Is the bolt not coming back far enough or is the extractor just dropping the fired case, trapping it? I have found the extractors in these are weak!

Just my 2 cents! I would look at a decent all around mid price gun with the intent on accurizing/customizing it the way you want. You will end up spending less in the long run and know what you have, they usually will bring more money if you need to sell also! Many of today's so called match...

For the money their not bad! Put a little work into it and you can have a fine 45 acp but outta the box there's a lot to be desired for a accurate reliable pistol! They are made to go BANG and that they do most of the time! Those marks someone posted pictures of are where they came out of the...

Don't sell I have my Grandfathers Mark I which he used in competition shooting, personally I wouldn't sell one unless you just don't want it any longer and can get a premium price for it! They just don't make them like they use to!!
