    Member Link Up Puget Sound Area Shooter's Group

    Unfortunately I think I'll be out of town this weekend; heading down to Lacey to help my sister move. However, I do make a number of trips to the Seattle area as my company is based in Bothell- maybe we can figure something else out? Thanks!

    Hi guys, There doesn't happen to be anyone up in Whatcom County with a KRG Whiskey 3 chassis; does there? I'm in Bellingham and would love to get behind one prior to ordering. Glad to meet up at any local range or wherever we won't get the cops called on us for shouldering a rifle. No need...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1961 Colt Detective Special

    Very cool! Beyond long range rifles I am really into older revolvers; specifically Colt's and S&W's. That looks like a killer gun; I'd love to find something like it locally.

    H1000

    Third Gen = great place. Got H1000 from them a couple weeks ago when they had the 8 pounders.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Les Bear or Ed Brown 1911

    I don't doubt that there are good Springfield Professional's out there, but this review scared me away- Hype vs. Reality, The Springfield Professional PC9111

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Les Bear or Ed Brown 1911

    I own an Ed Brown (SF Carry) and love it; I've also got a Wilson in the safe and the Brown seems very similar in construction to it. If you've never handled a Baer you really need to; I'm not sure I've found a 1911 that is fit as tight as a Baer and I've played with more than one full-blown...

    Same experience here; Badger's left marks on my scopes while Seekins did not. Running Seekins on all my stuff now.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking for a custom 1911

    I have a Wilson, Ed Brown, and Nighthawk. All three are excellent pistols and all three are highly recommended. If you're thinking about placing an order with the manufacturer then Ed Brown will have the shortest lead time. Personally, I feel like the NH's are spec'd to a higher degree in on...

    "Backpedal" and "reserve judgement"? That is not how we do things around here!

    Gunsmithing Wasnt going to do the oversized recoil lug thing......

    You're not going to get out of it that easy! I went to school in South Dakota and shot all winter, every winter. Can't imagine you're snowed in for the entire time. Time to find a new place to shoot!

    Which progressive press

    Re: Which progressive press Had a Dillon 550, was going to upgrade to a 650 but then I talked to my friend who owned a 650 and Hornady LNL. After trying the two next to each other I went with the Hornady (which is the one he recommended). Been going strong for about a year now, load 10mm...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns A Bit Off Topic: Value of a Colt Anaconda

    Re: A Bit Off Topic: Value of a Colt Anaconda I buy and sell a lot of Colt double action revolvers. I'd agree that that missing outer cardboard sleeve and lack of original grips makes this a $800-$1000 gun. You can find the original grips for around $100 online.

    Re: Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it! Thanks for the advice everyone, I appreciate it. I think I'll skip this project as it sounds like there's a lot more involved than I was initially thinking. Chad, you bring up a lot of interesting points that honestly I've never heard from anyone...

    Gunsmithing Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it!

    Re: Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it! Sean, Maybe the trigger would be a better idea; did you punch the hole through the trigger face when you've done this?

    Gunsmithing Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it!

    Re: Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it! It's a GP100 and I intend on locating the set screw in the trigger guard (which is a detachable piece on the GP100). I've seen it done on Redhawk's which share a similar construction, which is why I want to attempt it on this gun. Here's a picture I...
