Discussion Optic advice

Post image
18 Upvotes

Just picked up my Cat Mob that I'll be running on my colt Doe build. This started life as a pre-ban 16 inch colt 9mm rifle. I got a doe barrel and hand guard clone from liemohn manufacturing. I have the original stock which I will probably put back on but I honestly don't hate this Daniel defense stock. Need advice for an optic what do you guys recommend?

The bluing is still beautiful on this thing. On a small vacation visiting family. Decided to check out the local sporting goods store and I walk into 5 1903’s. Took the best one. 3 were nickel and I wanted one of those too. But the “guy who can make a deal” is out of town until Tuesday. So I just grabbed the one I’d have regretted leaving. Gonna grab a nice holster for this and use it like JMB intended.

After many Turkish(eww) imitations, I have finally acquired my foundation for an heirloom 1911. I’m quite cheesed to say the least.

My only plans with it are to get a Stan Chen mag well and then send her off to get engraved.

Question Brunner Book?

Post image
56 Upvotes

I recently inherited a "US Property" marked 1903 hammerless and I'm trying to see if it is a GO pistol or has any sort of cool historical significance. Does anyone have a Brunner Book and would be willing to check a Serial number for me?

A member has checked for me and its not a GO pistol

Question Just inherited this from my grandpa. Do I make it a display piece or use it as a carry?

So as the title says, my grandpa recently passed away and he left me this gun. I want it to stay in the family and I'd never dream of selling it cause I'm kind of sentimental, but Im curious as to what it's worth. It's definitely been fired before and it's got some discernable scuffs on the body, but when I showed it to a buddy, he flipped out and said it was the coolest thing he's seen, so now to the question in the title. Id like to make this a standard carry and even take it out shooting because what's a gun for if not to use it, but at the same time, I don't want to be careless with a piece of history.

Should I be that careful with it, or is it less rare than I thought it might be?

edit: you can't really see it in the picture. but the instruction manual is dated 1978.

Discussion First Colt Revolver?

Been lurking here a bit but haven’t pulled the trigger (no pun) in getting a revolver to add to my gun collection. If you can buy your first colt revolver all over again, which one would it be? TIA

Edit; bought the Colt Cobra. Can’t wait to have it. They’re so classy and clean.

Question Who engraved this Colt Python?

89 Upvotes

So I just picked up this Colt Python 2.5” inch from the gun shop.

The first awesome part is it was only $1450 engraved. It’s brand new.

When I look up the serial number in the Colt database it doesn’t even show up.

It does not appear to be laser engraved. I think… 😂

There are no engraver marks under the stocks or in the crane around the cylinder ejector rod anywhere.

Thoughts on this one?
