Looks great! I may just have to buckle and toss my T3x CTR into one of those stocks.

I might have to track down it's .357 cousin...

Stupid work...

I'm very interested in those stocks for the money. Curious to hear what you think of yours. Also, GPO has been getting a lot of attention in the binocular world lately. Solid choice from what I can tell. I have the same stock on my other custom Tikka. I flat out love it. The first one I bought was ...

Those are the best looking factory stocks I have ever seen on any Ruger.

When I was in a place in the sand box where the options were buy the food from locals or live on MREs for months on end, the SOP for the local cuisine was to immediately take it back to the platoon area and microwave it again before touching it. Outside of our medics' supplies, I assure you there wa...

AND most of these CO laws pass by less than a 60% majority popular vote. CO is the most textbook case of Tyranny of the Majority I can think of in modern politics.

So I have recently stumbled on Pakistani mechanics fixing truck broken down on the side of the road. It is trainwreck awesomeness. They will tear these axles and hubs down from a 10 ton trucks right on the side of the road with cars truck and motorcycles going by 6 inches behind them. The will use ...

I didn't try to get on here yesterday, so I guess I missed all the excitement.

Someone had to run down to the data center and put more coins in the server.


On that topic, bullsi, anytime I can pitch in a $20.00, send a message.

Agreed. Sign me up as well.

Me 3.

Update:

I found a Dan Wesson Vigil on Gunbroker that I think will work perfectly:

Thanks all! Looks like we are going to track down a SA Garrison or a Fusion 1911.

I appreciate the Tisas suggestion as well, and their slides are actually pretty clean, but Made in USA will carry some significance in this gift.

Given that they have similar Police Magnums for like $80 more, it may be worth paying the extra coin.

A close friend is finally tying the knot next year, and as his groomsmen we are all pooling some money together to take him snowboarding, and gift him a 1911. The handgun will be lightly laser engraved, with some variant of name and momentos of his life thus far. Since this isn't fancy, hand done sc...

"It depends." For my bulk ammo, 9mm and .223 fodder, it is not worth my time, even if some money is saved. I'll even go a step further and say for my low volume hunting ammo where I've found a suitable factory load, it isn't worth it. For match grade ammo or specialty hunting ammo, it is s...

You know it's a great group when the snow starts working its way towards you, everyone just kind of stares at it and grunts, and goes back to the fire without saying a word... and it was an absolute blast! That was funny! Secretly Tom and I had our “we have to pull the plug if it gets too deep. We ...

Not keeping abreast of the gamer side of things, what's currently trendy? I'm guessing it's comped guns, as we're starting to see them in the duty market too. Kinda hard for me to wrap my brain around the notion of a brake on a full size 9mm, but then, I never was one of the cool kids. :oops: :oops...

I've got about 500 rounds through the gun now, and it's definitely a soft shooter. Not one single malfunction with 7 different mags, both OEM and MBX, so also good. I won't get it on a timer until later this summer, so we shall see. I have a feeling that the XL in particular outlived its niche since...

I simply do not understand how you could be getting rained on from a covered shooting position.

Got out to the range today with the best testing squad within 250 miles of the Rockies... Rang out roughly 200ish rounds through the Staccato, plus quite a few other great guns today! The Staccato ran flawlessly with the OEM magazine and the 4 MBX's it came with in the deal. Handling was what you wo...

Lovely photography too - I saved your B&W to my rotating "wallpaper" directory.

Thanks!

I wish I was that jacked. #PoorDiscipline

Great, now I'm going to kill an entire evening trying to find a 10 pack online.
