My Pre Ban Colt HBAR Match is still one of my best rifles. It is in the “no sell section of the safe. Did switch it over to a flat top reciever as my eyes got older. Have a 1x6 lighted recticle with a back flip up BUIS. And the original front sight. Added a nice sharp single stage trigger. Blue has the original upper reciever
Very true. My Dad is buried up in Fort Snelling cemetery in Minneapolis. So is a guy I knew who didn’t make it back from Vietnam. Visit when I am there.
I do. Only because it is a 1x6 power. At 1x the lighted recticle makes a passable red dot. Actually it is also useful against dark backgrounds where you can lose the cross hairs.
Trying Hornady 212 gr ELD-X bullets for subsonic hunting loads. Originally designed for the 300 WM so a longer bullet. Have not had a chance to test them yet.
I am starting to look for one of these 1911’s in stainless or chrome. Either 45 acp or 10mm. I already have two Iver Johnson 1911’s and have had good results in terms of accuracy and reliability. If any one runs into one at a LGS let me know. I am thinking IJ might be closing their doors soon as everything is out of stock or close to it. But I would be ok with a used one for the right price. Actually would prefer that.

In shorts and T shirt, a S&W Shield M & P 9 in a Desantis Soft Tuck holster. With more clothes on a Kimber Pro Carry II 45 acp also in a Desantis Soft Tuck holster.
Wait until you see the Camelbak pack I modified to carry coolant! Willbird, you will get used to this, don’t worry. Somewhere or somehow in the next three months we will get back on thread.
