Mike,
Is that a 5" 625 you are modifying to comply with the new IDPA SSR ban on 5" revos? I am still grumbling about that new rule change... just can't bear the thought of cutting down my prized 5" 610!
Stephen,
I have a thing for lever guns too. I have been thinking about trading my .45-70 Guide Gun in and having a smith cut down a standard 1895 instead. The straight stock is definitely not as nice as their pistol grip style stock for firing the thumper rounds. Those 530 gr. +P Garrett Hammerhead .45-70s rounds are brutal to shoot. I once made the mistake of doing that off a bench! :roll:
Anyone have any 1911 projects they are especially excited about?
Me? I have a new bull barreled full house 9x23 built on a Colt 1991A1 that Dane is just about finished with. Should be pretty darn nice. We are waiting on George at EGW to finish welding away the last vestiges of the Series 80 lockwork. I have seen the frame and slide. Nice metalwork! It is perfectly checkered 30x30 f&r, high gripped, flatted and serrated top of the slide, rear serrated to match the Heinie Straight Eights, french border, polished flats, full hard chrome. Videcki trigger, Brown ambi, CMC beavertail and an AFTEC extractor. It will have a titanium guide rod to offset the added weight of the Brown bull barrel. This should make it swing like a stock gun with no guide rod. It should shoot sweet and be another Burns tack driver. Can't wait! :smile:
