I'm giving serious thought to a Kart Easy Fit barrel from Brownell's. Tam's gunsmith pals at CCA have done all of the work on my 1911s so far and I may ask them to put it in; it's slow, exacting work.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-18521768097240973912015-09-21T00:08:26.558-04:002015-09-21T00:08:26.558-04:00http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/barrels.aspx

The sandblasted wood stocks became standard with the 70 Series. That vintage pistol probably came with the plastic "Coltwood" panels on it.<br /><br />I'd be interested in hearing how much your groups improve with the updated barrel.JPGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224444263429720535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-9671228686732736152015-09-20T13:02:00.014-04:002015-09-20T13:02:00.014-04:00I'd recommend contacting either Cylinder and S...I'd recommend contacting either Cylinder and Slide or Clark Custom guns, either of those folks can help you get it set up the way you want.Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-31888076525346749872015-09-20T10:57:13.747-04:002015-09-20T10:57:13.747-04:00I am intrigued and want to know more.I am intrigued and want to know more.New Jovian Thunderbolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452246769246304612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-8008395742317209562015-09-20T10:37:35.870-04:002015-09-20T10:37:35.870-04:00Now that 'Short Wave Craft' looks interest...Now that 'Short Wave Craft' looks interesting!<br /><br />'Radio Electronics' back in the 30's!<br /><br />(The Colt in .38 Super is nice and way out of my budget *sigh*) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-34274072272369388552015-09-20T06:57:20.240-04:002015-09-20T06:57:20.240-04:00(Mark's Commander, OTOH, sounds like a kewl gu...(Mark's Commander, OTOH, sounds like a kewl gun!)Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-1461723803275625522015-09-20T06:56:37.666-04:002015-09-20T06:56:37.666-04:00Ew, why?
