    how hard is it to build a 1911 from scratch?

    Hey guys. Im interested in building a custom 1911 3" from scratch. I dont really want to spend $900 for a kimber. My basic question is, how hard is it to do yourself? the mechanical work that is not the finish work. Ive already built 2 ARs from scratch so im not totally incompetent. Thanks S

    How do you tell if an AR barrel is bent?

    The reason I ask is because i was installing a new flash hider on my upper, i used an action block and everything. But when i was taking the old flash hider off, my vise flexed. It was due to me using too thin washers to put under the screws to secure the vise to the bench. So really what i want...

They come in good stopping calibers and they are inherently safe. and if you practice with them you can be almost as fast as a...
