Notice their position in the box. It explains why "gandstas" hold their pistols sideways.





And for Fred a restored 1903.

Great looking 1903 Pocket Hammer! If you want to shoot it and don't have any 38 ACP ammo, I have found that 9mm Browning Long ammo works pretty well in my gun. It is within a thousandth of an inch in all dimensions but is a slightly lighter load than the 38 ACP. Empties can be reloaded using the 38 ACP/Super dies. The only problem is that you will occasionally get a stovepipe jam when the slide catches the empty case.

Nice "in the box" Commanders. By the way, all "Commander" models are built on the lightweight alloy frame. The steel frame version is the "Combat Commander".
The only problem with the alloy frame Commanders is that a steady diet of hot loads can cause the slide to batter the frame or even crack it in extreme cases.

Henry, you have an amazing collection!

The only place I know is guitar reranch and they only sell rattle cans. Gone are the good old days of squirting nitro from a gun. VOC regs.

Thank you

It's not a stock, it's the sig sb15 forearm brace. It is not designed to be shouldered thus it's ok for now in the eyes of atf

That Sig is cool, but I don't see how it is a "handgun". The Hi-Point Carbine seem closer to a handgun as they fire the same calibers. I think I need one of them next.

Sig has a letter from the ATF about it to.

You have to use a pistol buffer tube, as it won't slide over an adjustable/rifle tube.

Not pretty, or technically advanced but accurate, eats everything and has awesome warranty/customer service. 100% Lifetime warranty, regardless if you buy it new or used. Lots of fun to shoot too. Did I mention cheap? Trigger improves with some flitz and a buffing wheel on your dremel.

If you can get past the bias that hi-point has for their handguns, the carbines are a lot of fun, and a good value.

It may have been your previous posts that got me looking at them, I know it was someone on Pelican. Any idea if they offer an extended magazine?

Aftermarket. Seems to be a mixed bag from what I've read about them. I have never used anything other than the factory ones.

I just finished building this. My son and his sons are visiting for a week or two and I wanted something we could blast away with but not worry about breaking. I built it out of parts laying around the cave.
Crown city frame, Colt slide with Bomar sights, Colt rubber grips, stainless grip safety, STI trigger, Karl Lippard hammer and sear assembly (3lb pull), Colt Nat Match barrel and bushing.
Trigger feels pretty good, I guess well see.

Caliber has nothing to do with the pistol/rifle/SBR differentiation. It is entirely based upon OAL, Barrel Length and presence of a Stock. In the eyes of the ATF a stock is a device constructed with the intended use of shouldering to stabilize the weapon.

Woohoo! New (to me) optics for the AR! Now if the ATF would just hurry up and approve my stamp...

A different form of art than the plastic assault rifles of today.

Is that 7.5"?

[weseeeee]

Henry, that's some old school craftsmanship, very nice!

Yup, 7.5 inch noveske with a dpms levang linear comp that brings it to roughly 8.6. PSA receivers, ALG ACT trigger and ceramic coated SMI BCG

When the stamp comes back I'll likely go with an MFI minimalist stock...been thinking about swapping to a CASV rail as well

stunning! nothing like a Parker. DO NOT chrome this one.....

Note** those screws are waaaay out of time. try swapping those two on the floorplate. I bet they mixed them up when they had it apart. They are not swapable ...well they are , but you see what happens.
