One of the guys at pistol club turned up yesterday with a brand new Ed Brown 1911. Wow. The quality and build of the thing was incredible. He said it was very accurate from the first shots fired through it.

I built this little rifle in the shop using a 308 Remington XP 100 pistol receiver, F J Shaak stainless barrel and a foam core composite stock. Light weight and accurate, built with junk just laying around.

I have one of those in .221 Rem. Fireball and have not shot it in 30 years. What a nice use of the action, Pretty cool Henry.

"Slick as Snot" is an apt description for Mr Browns work.

WOW :eek:

That Ed Brown 1911 is freaking gorgeous.

Byron posted a picture of my next one. I need a small revolver, probably S&W. I love revolvers and would like one that I could carry, because my 6" S&W and Colt are a little on the big side.

The Magnum Carry from Jim Bremner's post is something I lust after. Byron's Agent is sweet. I shot a Cobra, it had a heavy trigger, and I wasn't impressed, until I actually shot it side by side with a S&W J-Frame. It didn't feel better in my hand, and the trigger seemed worse, but the results down range were markedly better with the Colt.

If you're serious about a small revolver, check out Ruger's LCR. Far from a beauty, but small, light, sweet trigger, and comfortable to shoot for such a light gun.

Test drive..............
 

If you got a Colt with a bad trigger pull then it was an anomaly. Every Colt that I own (more than several) has a nearly ideal trigger pull in both single action and double action. In addition to two Detective Specials I have a Cobra and an Agent. All have great triggers!

I'm not saying the trigger was bad, just noticeably heavier (both single and double action) than the J-Frame I was also shooting. I thought that would make it difficult to shoot well with such a short barrel, but it it was smooth and consistent enough to out-shoot the Smith in my hands. And light enough I'd think carrying would be so nice. I'd love a D-Frame in .357.

Like this?

Nice Ed Brown pic. Haha, the Rolex of 1911s.

Does anyone know about 7mm Rem Mag?

I bought it today at an auction because it's a Sako and in as new condition. But I don't know too much about them.

Has anyone got one and know what brand and projectile weight ammo they like. I have a Sako .223 and use Hornady ammo in it so I guess I'll use Hornay but I don't know which one. I'll just use it for 200 meter range stuff occasionally.

Yup, pretty much nailed it. I really like my 686, S&W makes some good stuff.

Rare Colt............
 

Like the man says, If you know, you know.............. This is a very early 1860 Colt with serial number 83! Yes, a 2 digit Colt Army! Also, it has the rare brass grip frame in even more rare Colt Navy size! Probably one of ten made like this. It also has the long flutes on the cylinder! Oh, yes, it has a 7 1/2" bbl!!

OH... :eek::eek::eek:

I do like the rare stuff. That must be worth real money.

Very nice Bill. I'm guessing that's a larger caliber ;)
