    Tools needed for building a 1911

    In the Sprinher 1911 thread some suggested building a 1911 and it gets me thinking. I'm a patient man who is very detail oriented and I have a great ability to use hand tools in fact I will always use a hand powdered tool before an electric one. I have always thought of building myself one but...

    Alternative calibers for the AR platform

    What are the calibers you have other than 5.56 and why did you choose it? Being the most sold rifle in the US for a while now there are numerous calibers available, some great, some good and some absolutely useless. The only one I chose is the 6.8SPC and chose it because of its pedigree, its...

    Berger load data

    Specifically the 77gr OTM 22101. I've never loaded any Berger bullet, always use Sierra 77gr SMK for my long range needs but prices and availability are forcing me to seek alternatives. I can't find a single online resource for Bergers specifically. I've read that the Bergers are longer than...

    By Far My Favorite AR

    My Mk12 Mod1 assembled for me by the man himself, Monty LeClaire. His barrel, BCG, gasblock. From a business standpoint he shouldn't have done what he did for me but he built my rifle using components I already had along with the aforementioned parts I bought from him. This guy is the real deal...

    My latest wheelgun

    Terrible story with a great ending. Was shopping for a 3" 357 and quickly found I couldn't afford one then a 4" no dash 686 pops up on GB. The seller only posted 2 grainy pics so naturally nobody bids. I messaged him and suggested that a few more, better pics may help it sell and that I myself...

    Ramshot Powders (Enforcer)

    Always had good results with Ramshot powders but I've not used their Enforcer before. I believe its geared towards magnum revolvers which is what I'm looking for. I enjoy H110 but am not wanting to continue to beat my M29 up forever. Yes, I do have other mag powders but I also use them for other...

    What does "Stocked up on ammo" mean to you?

    I'm curious, I see some folks in some of the threads about the high prices of ammo ( and I most definitely agree) saying they are stocked up or well stocked and ammo, so what does it mean to you to be well stocked? Obviously alot of us reload so do you count your reloading stock in with your...

    10mm 1911s

    How many own a 1911 in this fine caliber? I've had a DW Silverback 10mm since 2018, wow, that's some serious horsepower right there. I dabble in reloading too and the 10mm is just more fun to reload for than the 45acp, which I love too but being able to load rounds from 135gr on up to 220 gives...

    First Post from behind the lines in maryland ( I never capitalize the name of this place)

    Just wanted to say hey to all. Just joined up here because I'm tired of wading through the bullshit on the other site. Anyway, I'm an Army vet who obviously loves the 1911 platform and many other guns as well but the 1911 has always held a special place in my heart. Isnt it weird how an...
