      Dillon 650 Question

      New Dies Required The threaded shanks of your Lee Dies are too short to use in the Dillon tool head. Prove this to yourself by installing your Lee dies in the Dillon tool head. RCBS makes great dies that will fit. Your price is excellent.

      Sig STX 1911 or...?

      Opinion on RIAs The quote must have been a misunderstanding. I think that RIAs give a good bang for the buck. I've gotten excellent results when working on them. Their quality has greatly improved over their product of 10~15 years ago.

      1911 Gunsmith

      It is illegal for anyone or business to take possession of a handgun for any work for more than 24 hours, unless they have an FFL. This includes giving the weapon to a friend to merely install "Drop-in" parts, like a Volquartsen trigger kit or a simple cleaning. Check with ATF if you wish...

      Weird idea

      Your conversion will need a new slide, barrel, and possibly a new frame. I'm not sure if the location of a 9mm ejector will work on a 10mm. It would be cheaper to sell your old pistol and buy a new one in 10mm.

      1911 .45 - ramped barrel conversion?

      Can we all please agree that a Barrel Ramp that exceeds 0.090" unsupported chamber (SAAMI absolute max) is unsafe to fire, due to danger of case rupture???? Last Summer, I had to pick out 6 pieces of brass shards from a shooter's face with tweezers from the range first aid kit, as a result of a...

      1911 .45 - ramped barrel conversion?

      The max SAAMI spec for an unsupported chamber is 0.090". To my eyes, you've way gone over that dimension on the barrel feed ramp. This means danger of a shell case rupture, which is not a pretty thing. Welding kills heat treating, unless you use expensive/high tech welding. Laser Welding has...

      1911 .45 - ramped barrel conversion?

      My feelings - 45acp, unlike non-ramped barrels, feed ramped Barrels have a fully supported Chamber. This helps with elevated pressures. However, they do create feeding problems. Even the slightest mag follower nose dive can create issues. I have corrected this in the past by installing an...

      My next 1911 (Commander vs. Officer)

      Officer Quirks ============================================ INKD is correct in stating that things happen much quicker in a 3~3-1/2 "Officer". Standard Barrel Bushings will crack in about 500~750 rds, due to the higher angle of elevation that a Barrel goes, to when going in"full battery" aka...

      Can this be welded

      I was out of town the past week, only returning last night. I sent you some responses on my new smart phone, but for some reason they did not go through. Welding and milling will be done. I need to know if finish is stainless or something else. Please call me @ 410-733-4228, Mon ~ Fri; 2P ~ 8P.

      Can this be welded

      Additional Consideration(s) Welding is not the problem. Drilling the new Extractor channel after welding, so that it is concentric with the existing channel is a challenge.

      ultrasonic + kroil + heated?

      I always pour my ultrasonic cleaner (Gunzilla) through a coffee filter to strain it, after several uses. A lot of gunk/particles are removed. With that said, I suggest that you use a water-based ultrasonic cleaner that is safe for all metals. Scrub, rinse and dry as best you can, then immerse...
