I stopped going there for a long time, I bought a 1971 NIB Colt series 70 Gold Cup from another forum and needed a transfer done. I stopped in and talked to them and they even called the FFL that had the gun and set up the transfer. I thought that was pretty good of them, my Colt came in and they called so I went over to fill out the paperwork and pick it up. When it came time to pay I was a little shocked and mad, I was charged $65 for the transfer. I'll admit I didn't enquire as to what they charged and that's on me, I figured that they charged similar amount as the other shops, $25 + $10 background check. Never really went back other than use the range. Just looked at their website, I definitely won't use them for a transfer,$45 + background

I was there last month sometime with my nephew. I haven't been in the old Hendersonville store for a while but did notice the Outpost Armory sign about six weeks or so ago but haven't stopped by there to see anything.

Thanks, it took me for ever to find a set of Stag Grips for a K Frame. I like the way they feel and are more squared off at the bottom and they fit my hands great.

They change the way the whole gun looks, I think so anyway.

I found some real Stag Boot Grips on Roger's Grips website. I've been searching for a set of Stag Grips for this one, and lucked up on these, they weren't cheap. Here's some new pictures of it with the Stags and a Smith&Wesson Box I have that I'm going to reline it and darken it a little more, I have two boxes one older that is an orginal Smith&Wesson Revolver Wooden Box, and the one showen is home made but looks good. The orginal pictures in this post had to be sacrificed with some other's to make room. Here's the new ones.

I have afew Staccato's, I had the P model and purchased the EXTREME Shooter's Grip Module with their Grip Reduction. I think they offer the grip reduction on the orginal P Grip Module also, you would have to remove the Staccato P's Grip Module and send it to them or purchase one of their's and install it. I really liked the EXTREME Shooter's Grip Module with the Dragon Skin texture and chose the grip reduction as an add on. Go to their website and see what they have, you may luck up and find someone who does stippleing and can do the reduction but I don't know of anyone local that does that.

Like a few others have said put up some type of gate even if it's a plain one that you have to use a padlock and log chain. If that's not an option for you right now get a couple of game cameras or a security camera system that you yourself can install, at least with the game cameras you can get a picture of the car. It really sucks this day in age that you can't trust hardly anyone.

I've done every one of my 1911's and 2011's Trigger's and other parts and I haven't spent thousands of dollars on tools.

Thanks, I just wish that the vents turned out better but I'll clean them up. With the rails in place they cover enough of them but I have to even them out. Pictures to follow once I get it dyed, hope that turns out good.

I got everything installed and fitted up. Now all that's really left to do is clean up the vent slots and dye the Grey USC upper to match the lowere. I didn't pay attention to the router bit I used and they are larger than what the orginal ones should've been. Oh well live and learn, I installed the new aluminum mag release and it works as should. I then mounted the stock and I just had to do a little fitting on it to get it to fit the stock block. So far I'm pleased with the results except for the vent screw up. The second picture shows the size difference in the mag release's.

Update, got a few more parts in. Stock, 25rnd. mag. and a Mag Release Paddle made of aluminum and larger than the plastic one.

Those look great. I had twenty Smith&Wesson Revolvers in my collection at one time, but things happen and I sold most of them. I still have a couple. Nice collection

I bought a pair of Nick's Boots in the Mock Toe with a Leather Sole and Dodger Heel. They are expensive but the quality of them is great bit your right about the price, plus I had to wait for about Twelve weeks for them to be made.

Moved on to the Stock Block, had to do a little fitting to get it to slide into the UMP Lower. It fits nice and snug, all that's left is to install the stock and a few more little parts and cut the side vents put everything back together and function test it then color the upper black and this project should be done.

I then put the bolt in without the spring, attached the Lowe with the mag and a round in it and tilted the upper and lower downward and gave it a "jolt" by hand and it stripped the round off the mag and the bolt captured it perfectly.

Got a few more parts in. Got the Mag Well inlarged to accept the UMP Double Stack 25rnd mags, it just needs cleaned up a little.

Got some more parts in today. Going to see about making a "jig" for cutting the side vents, I did the bottom slot without a jig and it came out okay, just a hair off but the rail will cover it, not perfect but pretty good for free hand. Going to work on the Mag well since I got one of the 25rnd UMP Mags in hopefully tomorrow. Pictures to be posted soon. Thanks for checking out my thread, it's been a fun project and learning lessons.

I always bought my regular size and they fit great.

I hope it turns out good lol.... I'll post pictures of the project as it goes along and when the parts get in.

That brand of boot I've worn for years at work. I have two pair of their Moc Toe Steel Toed Boots, and a pair of the Slip on boots, most comfortable pair of work boots I ever bought. They were comfortable from day one and only got better. Buy a pair and you'll see.

That's what I'm working on now, almost got it done. I've got a UMP 25rnd Mag coming in with the stock block and a couple other things. I'll finish that up once it gets here. Now I just got to figure out the vents next.

I got the UMP Lower fit to the USC Upper, I took a Round File and used the old USC Lower as a guide and marked it with some tape. Lightly filed the Hooks on the UMP Lower till I got it fit up to the USC upper, turned out pretty good, next will be enlarging the Mag portion of the USC Upper to be able to use the UMP Double Stack Mag and lay out the Vents and figure out how to cut them and all that is left is to put it all back together and check functions before coloring the Grey USC Upper to Black to match everything else. So far it's been a good project, can't wait to get it done. I'm going to leave the 16"USC Bbl. for now still deciding if I want to go the form 1 route. Stay tuned for the finished project. Thanks for looking.

I bought this H&K USC 45acp last week. Got to reading and searching for some upgrades that I could do. I purchased a new Complete UMP Lower, Stock Block to add a Folding stock to it, XS Tritium Front Sight, and a few other things.

Nice blades, if you ever make the #1 with the OD Green handel PM me I'd like to have one. Great Knives by a great maker, keep up the great work.
