I have 3 45-70's and the heaviest is the chiappa takedown. The other 2 (sbl, cb) weigh around 7.5-8#. Even at that weigh recoil is mold as my 15.5# 243win recouls more other considerations could be 454cas or 44mag and I'd love to have 1 chambered in 480ruger!
Guy, you should check this optic out. large window and i love the 1 i have on the cmmg 5.7x28

it's been 40 years since i last shot a 1911 in any cartridge or caliber and hoping to be better with it from reading on how to shoot 1. the amt i had had so many fte/ftf it wasn't even fun to shoot. i put 1k rounds through it trying to be better with it, but no luck and traded it to a friend...
@Guy Miner i was doing a search for some 4.6x30hk cmmg mags and i came along this

i ordered the same upper, but not the same color as Gavin's. i placed an order for 1,500 rounds just yesterday. i...
since neither have a stock or brace and both have an 8" barrel it seems too be a pistol............................
i bought the 10mm and 45acp versions thru bud's. not sure when either will arrive, but will post pics when they do. i was looking at their handguns as they show too be grand...
i get it as i tell myself about certain cartridges i don't want anymore, but keep buying them OR brands of handguns...............i'm sure you'll be 1 happy camper with it
1911's haven't been very friendly to me, but I think I've learned some technique to shooting them from reading forums. Part seems to be my grip pressure on the grip safety for 1. I think that explained why I hso many fre/ftf's rather than it being a mag or extractor issue. 40 years older...
I fell off the wagon after 4 years w/o a sip. I don't know what came over me. Just to grip it will get feelings back i don't think i want. I guess my age and possibly early stages of memory issues, but for the life of me I lost control...........what should I do about this hideous eye...
I love the levers and you can't have enough of them! Im on the boring side as I have only 4 rimmed levers and a 270win blr.
R92 44mag
1895 sbl
1895 cb
1886 chiappa wildlands takedown
Hoping to get a 500mag from Bigjorn Armory , but I don't like the cost.
Glad you had a great day at the range!
1911's aren't for me as my wrists don't like the grip angle. i'd say have at it and enjoy the building. the only handguns i've built are s/w, sig & glock. i plan on building some hk's and cz's
