ok, so where is the gun nut forum?

[resago]

I had some R/C stuff, heli that was uncontrollable and an inferno that I never could get to start, so I sold them and bought some guns

http://www.resago.com/guns.html

This year I bought a serbu BFG-50 , thats .50 BMG as in burt gummer's grizzly.
It is truely AWESOME!, nothing quite as satisfying as blowing a hole clean through a troublesome HD or a 2" STEEL plate for that matter at 1000yds.

Wow... nice arsenal. I know where I am going when the revolution begins, got an extra cot there in your bomb shelter? hehe

[resago]

yup, right next to the 1000 rounds of .223 for my AR-15

[resago]

gee, am i the only computer geek on this board that likes guns?

I sold my S&W sigma .40 for $200 so I can get a used in Exc. condition Sig 226 in 9mm for $400. then on my list is a springfield 1911A1.

I'm pretty sure thats all of them.. but one or 2 might have slipped my mind.. thats not mentioning all the other 1911 parts I have waiting to be built.

[resago]

I was looking at building a 1911 of my own. Nothing great, just your average a1 but maybe on a TI frame. Where do you order most of your parts?

I know I can get a springfield Gov model for around $400.
could I make one for that price?

[Aronj66]

I'd love to build a Ti based commander.. or get an S&W Scandium commander..

Probably not.. .. frames and slides I get from Caspian. Internals I order from brownells. The frame and slide are almost 400 alone (Ti frames are expensive too) .. then a good barrel is another 100+ I think I average close to 800 in parts by the time I'm done.. There are good deals on ebay, gunbroker, etc.. that can bring costs down, or find exactly what you are looking for already done.. I think of building 1911's like building computers.. its not usually cheaper, but you get exactly what you want with the parts that you like.

ok, here's my 1911a1 modified. It is mostly a Rock Island Armory 1911a1.
I swapped in a McCormick Hammer and compensator bushing. Peirce modular finger grips, Ajax black Pearl hand grips.
I used a dremel and sandpaper to make the grip safety less pointy. Then I re-blued the peice to make it look stock. I have an extended thumb safety on the way. I'm still trying to figure out the sights. I need some good targets.

[Brians256]

Choose carefully.

[Colt357tw]

hehehehe muhahahaha

[Brians256]

Nice little gun there. I see you follow gun safety and have your finger off of the trigger though. Is that one fun to shoot in Taiwan? I thought it'd be hard to find a good range there.

[Colt357tw]

i have it in LA, i grew up in LA, just married to Taiwan as a mail ordered groom

Everytime when shooting that thing at Angeles firing range would get some cars' alarms off

[Brians256]

Dang, I tried that, but no one wanted to buy...

[resago]

nice! is that a barrett? or serbu? I can't make it out.

Serbu is working on a 20mm called the typhon.



oh, attached is my last use of my tygon tube from a W/C system I lost interest in finishing.
thats a MB 300D 5cyl turbo diesel.
