I do not. I know that as long as my grandpa has had it, the only thing that has been done is preserve it. I'm waiting to hear back when he actually acquired it. I'm guessing he picked it up back in the early 80's but not sure. I'll post when I find out.
I'm no pro, but I've looked the gun over...
Grandpa's 1911
Got some pictures of my Grandpa's 1911. It's an absolute beauty.
Made 1917. USGI Issue. Too bad the original grips aren't with it. I'll probably get some for it.
I get it. That is most people's argument to downplay GOA. I agree with above though, big mistake in my opinion to try and have a government agency ban an item where there is no representation of the people. I believe the NRA has done many good things but I'm just not too sure about them as a...
Picked this guy up. Pretty nice rifle. Any information or thoughts are appreciated. I don't know the entire history of these but here is what I have read.
Looks like an early first 10,000 production run of this rifle made for the Czech army after WW1. Many early production guns were built...
Thanks guys. Yea I'm thinking I'll probably just do black or a very dark gray cerakote here soon.
Besides having the previous trunnion holes welded up, I did everything else in my garage. Welding is one thing I haven't gotten into yet and I need to.
I'm not sure if the locations of the serial...
Just finished a week ago or so, well not totally, still pondering what I'm gonna finish it with (cera, dura, KG, rattle can) my first SBR. Thought I'd go with an original Russian triangle sidefolder.
Pretty pleased with how it turned out.
I changed all the pics from referencing a url to uploading them from my computer. They aren't as big now until you click on them but hopefully they show up for you guys now.
The Polish UF kit I just picked up a week or so ago. The barrel is from a SAR-1. Multiple builds are coming soon. Picked these beauties up from the last 1500 several weeks ago. Got a handul of other barrels as well. I won't say what I paid...don't want anyone getting jeolous...or maybe even...
Here are some pics. As far as I can tell, its a 1945 BSA manufacture. Blued finish...although very nice, not original black....who did it? I don't know. Serial numbers? Scrubbed or can't see. Maybe removed when re-finished, not sure. Any info appreciated. Action is very smooth and overall...
Agreed, I guess my question is why bring the stock to market if customers can't SBR the pistol, and then in my personal case, why buy the pistol if I can't SBR it. I want to soooo bad, but I have this hunch that I and others are not going to be able to legally. I hope I'm wrong.
So, I think this pistol is going to be awesome, but yikes does any soul on earth know yet whether we will be able to SBR this due to 922r? I can't seem to get a definitive answer from anyone, even CZ-USA.
