    Salvaging a 1911 slide

    I've got a slide that I'd like to salvage for a project. It has two holes where a Millett dual-crimp front sight used to be. I'd like to put a dovetail front sight on it. Can I get those holes welded up so I can cut a dovetail? Or would I be better off just finding another Millett sight...

    Need help diagnosing / fixing 1911 FTF

    My IPSC limited 10 gun has been giving me trouble for a while. I'll admit that I was experimenting with a number of recoil springs and whiz bang recoil reduction gizmos, and for a while I was just attributing the occasional jam to them. But now it's just got a steel FLGR, no buff, and a 14#...

    Stock Interchangeabilitynesstivity

    Is it possible to fit an 870 stock on an 11-87? I know the action tube will be an issue, but anyone know if it can be done with a little work? Reason I ask is I have a Hogue 12" LOP stock on my 870, and I love it. I'd like to have the same on my 11-87, but Hogue only makes it for the 870...

    The proverbial bump in the night...

    About 5:30 AM this morning, the better half and I were startled out of our sleep by a loud bang. She might have said "what was that?" or "did you hear that?" or something to that effect, or she might not have said anything at all. I don't specifically remember. I froze and listened for...

    Someone with a lathe want to help me out?

    I want to run my Kimber Pro-Carry with a standard (non full-length) guide rod. Problem is it has a bull barrel. I know I could have the barrel turned down, cut the slide for a bushing, buy and install a bushing, and buy a standard guire rod and plug. But that's more than I really want to do...

    One hand slide racking a 1911

    In the never-ending process of self defense training, we practice shooting, and malfunction drills, and one handed shooting... And should be practicing one-handed malfunction drills, too. Here's my problem. The best way I've seen / tried to rack the slide one handed is to snag the rear...

    Para ramp cut - Caliber specific?

    Is the ramp cut on para receivers caliber specific? I ask because I can get a good deal on a used para 45, and since I'll likey have to rebuild it anyway, was wondering if I could turn it into a .40. It'd be a whole new slide anyway, and I know I'd need a different ejector, but are the ramp...

    Help me fix my 11-87

    A few months back, I bought an 11-87 Police, intending to use it as a USPSA gun. I soon thereafter decided that 7 rounds wasn't enough, so I put a 26" light contour vent rib bbl and +5 mag tube. Problem is, ever since changing the bbl, it has been short-cycling. It mostly works, but every...
