Tripp Cobra does not show a Flush base magazine. I went with another Wilson 920-9FS9

The Wilson's I have are the flush base which are the same as the Chip McCormick flush base mags. Only difference are one says Wilson Combat (Item 920-9FS9) and the other says Chip McCormick Custom (Item M-MG-9FS9) I believe Wilson did this to have a flush base magazine for those wo want them.

OK; I got a lot of good info from the Recoil spring post so I thought I would ask about magazine springs. 9mm 1911 magazines, I have all 9 round magazines; stock Springfield and Wilson 920 (same as CMC) flush. I figure I'll need to replace springs down the road. one of the Wilson's first as...

It depends on the rifle and it's use. Freebore or no freebore. Magazine length restrictions. When loading for my 40X-BR live varmint / benchrest rifle (single shot) I likes them to be no more than 0.020 off the lands. I believe I was loading them 0.010 off but that was quite a while back. I...

Even the OEM's don't agree Kimber and STI appear to use 12#, Colt uses 14#, Wilson appears to use 13# flat wire, Dan Wesson Seems to use a 10 or 12# and Springfield uses a 9# ( I am wondering if this is a throwback to when they used the ILS Housing with it's 28# mainspring) This seems to...

That was in the ILS Mainspring housing; They use a standard non-ILS MSH in the Ronin (and I believe other 1911's now) I am pretty sure SA is using a 23# mainspring in the non ILS MSH's) My question is specific to the 5" 9mm. Recommendations: Stay with the 12? Go back to the 9# or drop back...

A question again on recoil springs. In particular Recoil springs in a 9mm full size 1911. Per Wolff Gunsprings: COLT 1911 FACTORY RECOIL SPRING NOTES 1. Factory rating for super .38 & 9mm is 14 Lbs. 2. Factory rating in .40 S&W is 19 Lbs. 3. Factory rating for the Colt .38 Spl...

I looked at the Ed Brown but I went with another Wilson 920 magazine. The Ed Brown trade in is attractive but doesn't seem especially cost effective for only one magazine. At $10 + $14.95 postage + Postage to send old one to them ( 30 - 35 ) If I accumulate a few more bad ones I'll likely...

I want to get 1, maybe two more magazines for my Springer Ronin. I currently have two 9 round SA stock mags with the base pad and one Wilson 920 flush 9 round magazine. I like the flush magazine for carry and looks. I am considering another Wilson 920 ( same as a McCormick flush base magazine)...

But does it have MIM parts? Nice platform; I like the retro look.

I finally got around to doing something with the rear sight dots. The original paint was yellowed and dull and since I like black rear sights I re-did them. I used a small drill bit turned by hand to remove the old paint, cleaned with alcohol and using a toothpick and paint from my old black...

Ow. I must be lucky as my old Series 70 Colt never bit me. No problem at all with my SA with a beavertail GS.

Shades of Mexico and other regimes where Military calibers are outlawed for civilian use.

I love the .45 Colt in a revolver. I used a S&W 25-5 in that caliber for many years.'

As Margaret Thatcher famously said; The problem with Liberalism is that eventually you run out of other peoples money to spend.

Not for making legal to own firearms; he was making class 3 controlled firearms.

You need to know what to look for. Those have been faked, reproduced etc. I have a friend that collects Carbines and according to him assume it is fake until proven otherwise.

Shoulder Holsters have their place, It is excellent under a coat when driving, especially for long trips. There are other times it is a good choice but a waist holster either OWB or IWB is usually the better more comfortable choice.

Lobo Gun Leather. This one is an Original Lobo by Ray but I understand the current one from Minnesota are quite good.

while the Echelon etc are made in Croatia, the SA-35 is listed as made in USA and still has a 1/10 twist. I believe the SA-35 parts are obtained semi finished from Turkey and finish machined and assembled in Genesco, IL. I am assuming the barrels are semi finished and already rifled when they...
