Here is my Nornico MEUSOC clone:

I believe the US Coast Guard is gettting SIG P229s. However, are they Dept of Homeland Security or Dept of Transportation? They are not DoD so they would be outside that procurement system right?

I got a picture of the side with the pitting. It was not as bad as I had thought. I will just have it buffed out a bit and reblued.

I found a good deal on a Brazilian M1917 but unfortunately it has a badly pitted side plate. Everything else is good mechnically and finish wise. I read somewhere that any pre-war N frame sideplate would work on it. I am a S&W newbie so any info I can get on where to find the part and how much...

This wait for Tuner's latest report on Norks is worse than the three week hiatus for LOST!

The anime show would have been Ghost in the Shell.

I just got a call this morning that my Nat'l Guard unit is being deployed to the region for disaster relief immediately. If I can get a first hand look and access to the internet I'll let you know.

I think Gladys was the name of the toughest nun at Marv's school.

As I recall, Marv named his 1911 "Gladys"

Well I finally got my MEUSOC Replica back and it turned out better than I could have expected! I have a couple poorly done pics (camera is not so great) but here is the lowdown. I built it based on Pat Roger's article, Dave Berryhill's version and what I gleaned from the internet. It started...

I went throught the same issue with mine. I had my MEUSOC replica based on the first model they were building on old USGI frames and Dave Berryhills replica package. I will post a pic for you to see when I get home today. The first models from what I read had cylinder and slide sears and...

Can a mod move this to the classifieds? I am not sure it belongs here.

I got mine from a gentleman named bill ricca. I think his site is billricca.com. It was around $25 for a small pad serrated safety.

I have a bunch of extra Norinco 1911 parts (grip saftey, trigger sear, springs etc) from a customization I had done. Do these parts have any value or should I pretty much junk them? Thanks!

Yeah that was the debate going on for me. I'll use the M9. It does make sense from a training standpoint. Besides, the plus is it is a course concentrating on rifle skills anyway!

I am getting ready to take a tactical rifle course. We need our own rifle/ carbine and a handgun as well. I plan on taking my M4gery but I am torn between taking my 1911 or M9 w/me. The reason is that I am in an National Guard MP unit and we are issued M4s and M9s, but I just plain enjoy...

The Australian and New Zealand Army use the Australian copy the F-88. I think it is built in Lithgow. It has been reputed to have major problems listed in the below links. I know that the SWAT teams in NZ replaced their aging M16A1s with M4s...

OK, got a different stock (same manufacture). This one seems a bit better, but still only catches the very very edge of the retaining pin. It does not seem very secure, but has not popped out and the weapon hand cycles fine. The buffer has not popped out either. Is this the correct installation...

She said it is ok. It just makes me nervous when people start shaving away metal on a barrel in such a vital area.

My Norinco based MEUSOC 1911 replica is almost complete. A problem arose with the feed ramp on the frame. The previous owner had apparently decided to do the typical dremel feed ramp polish and over did it. My smith was able to do Tuner's trick of smoothing the bottom of the throat back at an...
