    E series refinishing

    A trip through a bead-blaster should take care of the smaller scratches, but refinishing in Cera-Kote or something like that may be more your taste. You can always send their Customer Service department an email and ask them directly.

    S&W Semi-Auto Picture Thread

    At the range earlier today. I even dropped a loaded Wilson 47D in the mud, wiped it off on my sleeve, and fired all the rounds out of it. It was a cold, windy, wet day, but totally worth it.

    How Many Have DUMPED their J-Frame for a NEW MINI Semi-Auto?

    I traded my Model 49 for a Glock 26 and never looked back. More bullets, easier to shoot, better sights.

    1911 PC - how accurate?

    I can bust clay pigeons with my 1911TA at 50 yards. That's damn good shooting from both me and the gun. The trigger makes it much easier than previous 1911s I've owned.

    SW1911 E-Series rattling grip safety

    *Shakes his 1911TA* Nope, mine doesn't rattle. You could hear the safety on my old Norinco 1911 from across town, as it was really loosey-goosey.

    E series 1911, First shoot at the range.

    I took my 1911TA out a few weeks ago and had the same result as you. Reliable, soft-shooting(mine has a Wilson Shok-Buff that I found in the parts box, but I don't think it makes a difference), and accurate as hell. And....

    Smith & Wesson E Series Mods

    A GI guide rod and plug are the only mods I'd consider doing to my new SW 1911 TA.

    Any sight options for a SW1911?

    Only thing I'd change on my "Billboard" SW1911 is a nice set of night-sights.

    How good is the SW1911?

    I traded for this one last week, a first-year SW1911. I added the grips(possibly Ahrends or Herrett's, but most likely copies), ambi safety, and new grip screws and bushings.

    How about some rare or unusual .22 rifles???

    I have a weird one... I was given a Mossberg 340KC by a friend for helping him move. Mossberg only made the rifle for 3 years back in the late 50s. I don't know how long the barrel is, but it's at least 22", maybe 24", and a lot longer than on most bolt-action .22s I've seen. The action is a...

    "Well you see, I went over to this garage sale"......PICS POSTED

    My one yard sale score was a Marlin model 60 for $20 because, in the words of the lady I bought it from, "It don't work.." Turns out it was so full of crud that the action couldn't cycle. Someone also ran the rear trigger-guard screw(probably a substitute piece that is too long)so tightly that...

    The worst tasting liquor I've tasted!

    Ahh... "Rakija".... I first heard of this drink from the late Robert MacKenzie during his time advising for the Croatian army during their civil war. As he described it, " Goes down fiery, but with remarkably little hangover.."
