  2. Customized Guns all depends on what you call Custom. Replacing Parts aren't really Custom to me I can do that and have done, replaced some Triggers, some Internal parts that were worn out or just cheap cast pieces that some manufacturers use. I've known some guys that when it comes to the 1911's they seek out the top builders to do the work from the ground up and some run $10,000 depending on the Smith, you have Jason Burton, Chambers, Ted Yost, and a few others that comand a premium and they may take a year or two to be completed if you can even get your name for a spot on their books. When it comes to Customized Guns those that I named if I had the funds and a chance I would jump on it. As far as having Custom work done again not just replacing parts it's more of an individuals preference to what they want done. I've seen some guns custom engraved with someone's name or initials and that would affect the price and value to the gun in negative way unless you had the same initials. Some go way over board on engraving a gun, to me less is great, now if you find a notable engraver then I could see paying a premium, there's a fellow in Mexico that owns a little restaurant and he hand engrave's in his spare time and he's very good at it and his work demands a premium, I'm not sure of his name or even if he's still living. It all comes down to your individual tastes as to wether you purchase or want to pay up for one if everything about it appeals to your taste. But someone saying they have a Customized gun and you ask what's the custom work done and all they had was a Bbl replaced, or a Trigger Group that you can drop into any AR and certain Bolt Action Rifles isn't considered a custom gun even if Larry Vickers put the Trigger Assembly in, just my opinion. Sorry for the long post.

  5. With me it depends on what the mods were and who did them. I won't touch a gun Bubba has worked on or built no matter how good he thinks he is or even if he actually is that good. I just don't want to take that chance. OTOH something like a Wilson Combat 1911 or C&S Hi-Power are well worth the price. These will actually gain value as time goes on. I am guilty of tinkering with my own guns. But I know what I'm capable of and what to leave alone. If i chose to sell it, I generally put it back to as close to stock as I can.

  6. As deerslayer pointed out, what's the first thing you do when handed a gun? You check it yourself! Baldwin didn't. The gun was in his hand. He pulled the trigger. HE is responsible for that bullet. Until now the armorer's part in all this has been unclear. Now they're saying that she loaded the gun. I'm afraid that girl is screwed. The producer that handed Baldwin the gun made a plea deal. Other wise, he'd be up on charges too. He knew he had screwed up and covered his ass. Bottom line: if someone hands you a gun, its YOUR responsibility to make sure its safe. So now charges have been filed. But given the state of our justice system, it could still be years before this actually goes to trial.

  7. This has me wondering about other movie stunts that are inherently dangerous. If actor A throws actor B off a roof as part of the script and the safety harness or crash bag fails, would we be talking about how actor A is responsible? A stunt coordinator was supposed to setup the equipment properly. Why would we expect actor A to be knowledgeable about inspecting the safety gear? That's what the stunt coordinator is for. Or if actor A is handed a real knife instead of a collapsible prop knife and stabs actor B. Is actor A supposed to check the knife to be sure the spring works? Again, someone upstream is supposed to be getting all that stuff right so the actor can, you know, "act". Other than having different procedures for a gun vs. a prop knife vs. a fall harness, what makes an accidental shooting different from an accidental stabbing or fall for the actor? I get the negligence issues for the armorer and producer (and whoever brought the live ammo onto the set). Yeah, we all here on TGO know the proper safety steps with a firearm, but in that sense we're closer to being the stunt coordinators/armorers than we are being the actors. It seems that as an actor it's a stretch to charge him. In that situation, even if someone hands him a revolver on a set and says "cold gun" AND he checks it and see shells in the cylinders, I can see where he might still think they're dummy rounds so the gun doesn't look empty. The cylinders need to have "bullets" in them or we'd be the first ones pointing at the screen saying "stupid liberal! his gun's empty!" He may not have the gun knowledge to make that determination and as an actor he shouldn't be expected to.

  8. The armorer did NOT hand Baldwin the weapon. Which begs the question WHY they had the weapons out & were using them w/o the armorer present. The assistant director Dave Halls handed Baldwin the gun (not a "prop" gun) & stated it was 'cold' to indicate unloaded. We know that was a lie. Three people were charged. Dave Halls, who already pled guilty & struck a deal with the prosecutor to testify against Baldwin & the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed. Baldwin accepted a gun from a person who was not the hired armorer, accepted that it was not loaded w/o checking it himself, pointed it at a human being (Halyna Hutchins), cocked the hammer, & pulled the trigger. That makes him guilty & liable for the subsequent results. As the movie's director, he's guilty for not following safety rules on his own production. I am pretty sure Mr. Baldwin did not intentionally shoot two people, killing one of them. But he's the big boss. It's his production & his movie set. He hired a young, inexperienced armorer, then handled weapons w/o the armorer present. He and Mr. Halls were sloppy in checking the gun & handling of the gun. They are both guilty. Hall has already pleaded out to that fact. You have to wonder if the script had called for Baldwin to point the gun @ his own head or chest & cock the hammer & pull the trigger, would he have been so sloppy in accepting someone else's word that the gun was 'safe'? I doubt it. So, now he gets to explain to a jury why he was so negligent when it was someone else's life on the line.

  11. Great shooting gun, don't really want to sell, but looking to fund another project. Taylor and Co. From what I understand, they take Rock Island guns, and trick them out a little bit. This has G10 grips, extended ambi controls, and a full length guide rod that does not require any special tools for takedown. I think I have 2 or 300 rounds through this gun, all flawless, not a single hiccup. Comes with 2 10 round mags. $450

  15. First it should be noted that as a state, we are governed by our Constitution. Article 1 Section 1 of our Declaration of Rights: That all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness; for the advancement of those ends they have at all times, an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper. Section 2: That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind. ARTICLE II. Distribution of Powers. Section 1. The powers of the government shall be divided into three distinct departments: legislative, executive, and judicial. Section 2. No person or persons belonging to one of these departments shall exercise any of the powers properly belonging to either of the others, except in the cases herein directed or permitted. Section 3. The legislative authority of this state shall be vested in a General Assembly, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives, both dependent on the people. ARTICLE III. Executive Department. Section 1. The supreme executive power of this state shall be vested in a governor Section 10. He shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. Section 11. He shall, from time to time, give to the General Assembly information of the state of the government, and recommend for their consideration such measures as he shall judge expedient. The General Assembly has sole authority to decide which measure shall pass from the General Assembly, after debate and consideration and a vote in both chambers. Article 3 Section11 enables the governor to make suggestions to the GA about issues that office considers "expedient". Those issues, called "Administration bills" are carried by the Leader of both houses, currently that is William Lamberth in the House and Jack Johnson in the Senate and as such that provision of the Constitution is adhered to. (a side note, the so called Constitutional Carry bill of 2020 was an Administration bill) What does not appear in the Constitution or in our TCA Code, is any provision allowing the Departments under the control of the governor to assume a position of power over the legislative branch. For decades I have watched as the Department of Safety and the TBI have exerted pressure as envoys of the governor to deny good, restorative bills passage in our General Assembly. Old hands will remember Colonel Trott, the head of THP testifying against handgun carry permits in committee. Currently the Department of Safety's "Legislative Director" Elizabeth Stroeker brings her "philosophical opposition" to any bill that loosens the strangle hold of government on our 2nd and 14th Amendment rights. One only needs to watch any of the Civil Justice and Criminal Justice committee hearing from last year dealing with 2nd Amendment issues to see the validity of my point. I contend that going forward, any testimony by these Departments that does anything other than answer questions as to the cost of difficulty of administering any law passed, if that testimony serves to defeat the issue is in fact an act of "Official Oppression" as defined in TCA 39-16-403: TCA Part 4 - Misconduct Involving Public Officials and Employees 39-16-403 - Official oppression. 39-16-403. Official oppression. (a) A public servant acting under color of office or employment commits an offense who: (1) Intentionally subjects another to mistreatment or to arrest, detention, stop, frisk, halt, search, seizure, dispossession, assessment or lien when the public servant knows the conduct is unlawful; or (2) Intentionally denies or impedes another in the exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power or immunity, when the public servant knows the conduct is unlawful. (b) For purposes of this section, a public servant acts under color of office or employment if the public servant acts, or purports to act, in an official capacity or takes advantage of the actual or purported capacity. (c) An offense under this section is a Class E felony. (d) Charges for official oppression may be brought only by indictment, presentment or criminal information; provided, that nothing in this section shall deny a person from pursuing other criminal charges by affidavit of complaint. [Acts 1989, ch. 591, § 1; 1990, ch. 980, § 11.] These Departments are peopled with attorneys, paid by the tax payer (although the tax payer has no input in their hiring or direction of duties). They should be cognizant of the edits and ruling of SCOTUS, it is why they are paid. In 2010 the Supreme Court of the United States incorporated the 2nd Amendment against the States through the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, making the 2nd a Civil Right. The Governor is surrounded by employees that we fund and he directs that should know the facts regarding our right to arms. SCOTUS says we have an unfettered right to carry on our person, open or concealed, in public, firearms in case of confrontation and yet from 1801 to date is has been and continues to be a crime for a non-criminal Tennessee citizen to do so. (TCA 39-17-1307 (a) (1), it is an offense to bear a firearm with the intent to go armed). I for one am tired of paying Lobbyist to testify against and deny my 2nd and 14th Amendment rights. The Department of Safety and the TBI as arms of the governor's office should simply faithfully execute the laws of the state, not try to make them.

  23. As Grayfox54 says, know what you're capable of doing before "customizing." My skills are such that I would not attempt many things I see done. My eyesight and hands are not good for many changes anymore. I personally buy stock condition and generally leave it as is. My only exception to this is a few I've bought from 2 gentlemen here, whose abilities are known to me and this forum. Although these pistols were slightly modified, I knew these men and their reputations and work for items like triggers and sights.

Anyone seriously interested and not just ill-informed speculation as to why Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter, can watch this excellent presentation by Andrew Branca, a noted legal Self-Defense attorney. The Legal Charges Against Alec Baldwin What counts is not the opinions of laymen, but what the law is. Gun owners should realize this law also applies to them.

  30. If I'm buying at a private sale, I want a fresh firearm. If I don't know that you are an expert gunsmith (not an assembler) I don't trust you with a Stanley screwdriver, a Dremel, your wife's fingernail file, or your handloads fired in that gun. Particularly if your first name is Bubba. That changes if you're Wilson Combat or a host of reputable outfits as they stand behind their guns. A private seller doesn't. I don't see the need to send my CZs off to Cajun or any other outfit - not because they are suspect -but because I can do things for myself within reason and can save big bucks. I don't fall prey to the concept that if I spend more money the gun will shoot better. I also don't expect to pay for someone's customization at what they paid for that work, much less if they did it. That's ludicrous and may drive down the price. There are a few gunsmiths where their work is legendary and worth the added cost. Then there's everyone else. That's just me.

  35. On 24hourcampfire.com, you’ll find a subforum titled Savage Collectors. If anyone on earth could answer your question without having the pistol in hand, it would be one of those guys. Without seeing the pistol, I’d only be guessing it was disassembled and not reassembled correctly, or perhaps something is broken.
