Take a look at this thread. Fill in as many of the blanks as possible .

It would be real commitment if I lived in a condo!

So range report The 1911A1 fed the 230gr ball ammo like a champ, spring a little weak maybe after firing a couple rounds slide was slamming the guide rod head into the recoil shoulder hard enough to leave marks on the head, added a rubber recoil bumper ran out several clips 10mm had a light primer strike about 50% of the time. Shot really nice other then that. In my opinion, light primer strikes are usually caused by anything but the spring, so looked it over really hard, put a longer hammer spring in anyway, looked it over really really hard, seems like the hammer was just nicking the slide on the extractor side. Removed some material and polished back up, ready for range test 2. Edit, couldn't wait. Torched a few off in the basement, seems good to go!

OK, ready for the range!

Nice!

Nice looking build. What jig do you use? Edit DUH, never mind... Did you use their lower also?

Sneak Peak: Porting this afternoon. (Spent the morning fitting the barrel but nothing sexy about that unless you're into blue dye....)

Pretty cool. No spacers, rough finish what is up with that? I always held Heavybuffers in high regards

Right! Waitaminute, who? what? Thanks for the info on the appleseed, plan to get out to the next one here in WA. Dad just got out of the hospital, C-19, he's 84 but I bet he would give it a try also. So question, information says bring a rifle sighted in for 25M, target "presents" as 100 , 200 , etc, does that mean the targets are all set at 25M? 250 rounds sounds like a great time.

That is one beefy barrel. (.936-.263)/2 would be the thickness, no? .3365+/- Thats a deep hole.

Long story. After asking Fusion if a 7in bull barrel works in a 6 in slide and assured it would, ordered one. Was going to slot it to match the slide. Well, at the 6in mark it was undersized. Already fitted the hood when I noticed. No problem they said, send it back they will send another one. That was a month or two ago. Good communication from Fusion, just no barrel. Problems on a couple other orders also. Cool stuff there, but lacking execution. I'm sure they will get it straightened out eventually. So, just ordered a 6in oversized bull barrel elsewhere and yes, will port it to align with the slots. Build something else with the 7in barrel if I ever get it.

welcome!

thought I was ordering a .18 bit, got to be careful at McMaster Carr, miss the decimal place, no problem, they still have the bit! Correction, just put the mike on it, 0.0110. Then it broke...

Loaded up a couple ladders for the 6.5CM, 123gr SSTs and 143gr ELD X with H4350. Then 500 rounds of 45ACP. Got 10 lbs of the cleanest brass I've ever seen, bro got it off Facebook something or other. Problem was it was about 15% small primer 45. What a pain, if you are listening Speer, Federal, Blazer, WTFO? Man it's hard to tell the difference by eye! And sorting brass with the progressive is not the way to fly. At least the blazer headstamp was all the small, but Fed and Speer headstamped brass came in both large and small.

Still no barrel, did some hacking on the slide...

If I keep building AR's I would need yet another safe, 1911's are a bit harder to build but I can keep squeezing them in until maximum densityis achived. This is the one that got me started, helping a bro do his bobtail commander. He used the matrix jig and a complete kit from 1911 builders. Very complete, high quality parts, slide nicer then the one on my my E-Series Smith, very minor fitting required. I keep telling him to shorten up the dust cover, but he refuses.

Next one will be pretty. 10mm long slide all cut mostly fitted just waiting on a new barrel, first one little out of spec. Sneak peek

Just finished up a 1911A1, Advanced Tactical 80% CS frame, Sarco "If you want cheap, we got cheap" build kit. Lots of fitting. Only thing I didn't use out of the kit was the sear spring, just couldn't do it... Need to find a slide stop not so shiny, other then that not bad for a $400.00 build

Yes, the 260gr bullets I was thinking of were .452 FAFPs, bought a bunch from Freedom Arms a while back. Doesn't look like they sell bullets any more. Brain getting a little fuzzy.

May have misspoke, 265 gr. 260s are for the 454.

24 of H110 behind a jacketed bullet is a tight fit. What do you end up with for COL? No whimps 44 loading for sure! XTP mags or corelocks? Ever try the 260gr Interlock? Designed for 444 marlin but a good bullet for the 44.

The 99 dollar barrel was there the other day, saw that. The 65 dollar barrels (now 75) say 10 left, don't see the PSA on those. Edit didn't see PSA on the 65 dollar barrels, it's on the 75 dollar ones. So good barrel?

Still there or there again, but 74.99 now. Don't see where it says PSA, but they told me they were being sold to PA. The BCA barrels I looked at had blue/black extensions, these are raw looking extensions. To get there I use the gunbroker search for " 308 barrel spectre " That good or bad?

Spectre supply on gunbroker https://www.gunbroker.com/item/875072664 I have bought a few items from these guys, all good stuff, asked about these barrels they said DPMS pattern, US manufacture, were being sold to Primary Arms but couldn't tell me who made the barrels due to NDA. Any idea? Rule 65?
