I do reload my ammo and have a press set up but That hobby is on hold right now. the price for ammo is too high.

[Charise2009]

I prefer 9mil and 22 as they have WAY less of a recoil then the .357. I use either a ruger 22 or a Cz 9 mil. I like 22 rifles as well.

Great idea for a guild. Shooting and collecting is a hugely popular hobby. If you or anybody else wants to run with the idea, let me know and I'll set it up. We'll need a guild leader, though.

I was collecting those Christmas 8oz coke bottles but the wife says to get rid of them that's why I was asking for ideas to incorporate them with my wood working. But the only thing I am collecting now is saw dust

Yes Indeed! I was a competitor in the U.S.P.S.A for many years. I have a class 03 FFL (curio & relic collector). I have tuned many 1911 pistols for competition. On occassion I'll restore a firearm.

Here's one I did two years ago...Winchester 94 lever action 30/30.

It was in bad shape. Blueing gone on receiver and barrel/mag had some serious rust. The stock had lost it's shine and had a few dings.

I completely stripped the reciever and replaced the internals as well as the screws. Receiver after reblueing and assembly.

Winchester completed. Took about two months from start to finish. Didn't have any power tools to work with had to strip the old finish by hand

That's awsome vector you did a good job.

I always wanted to make my own 1911 but I don't were I would start (Gun Shy about not knowing how to do it) They sell the receivers in the shot gun news Mag some don't need milling but some do.

Hi Kardar2:

 

Unless you have access to a machine shop or have one in your garage/basement I would stay away from anything that has to be milled. The best bet is to "tune" one you already have or pick up a decent used 1911 to work on. A great starting reference is the "Ed Browns 1911 Bench Manual." This will give you a good start and has a lot of tips and tricks.

 

Just remember that any modifications must be done with caution. A simple (famous last words) trigger tune can turn into disaster. My first trigger job turned my Colt Combat Target 1911 into a full auto Unfortunately it happened at a match. Needless to say I was disqualified as well as embarrassed I neglected to test the modifications at the range prior to the match (live fire test). Dry firing will not indicate any problems with the modifications. I learned the hard way early...I always run at least fifty rounds through the firearm to make sure there are no problems

If you haven't got a leader yet, I check the Village every day when possible, and I'm about as big a gun nut as there can be. So, I could be the guild leader if you need me. I don't know what kind of leader I'd be, besides I could try and discourage off topic posts and keep an eye on things.

 

Now to the guns.

 

I have three revolvers.

a nine shot .22

a .38

a .44 magnum
