Superman

Guy is wanting to trade a 1911 for some stuff I have. I haven't seen it in person. He says it shoots good and has been refinished. Says it "one of the original" 1911s. Going by the serial number and this link, http://www.m1911.org/serno_mi.htm, it was made in 1917. 6 digit serial 208xxx. Any idea what something like this might be worth?

Thanks for the invite, but thats a 6-hour round trip for me.

Well I went to the match on Sunday. Had a blast. Looks like they do an IDPA match the 1st sunday, steel match the 2nd sunday, and a "mixed" discipline match the 3rd sunday.

No, it was dropped off with someone and I picked it up from them. When he handed it to me, he says "I hope there aint no dope in there" LOL

Got mine today. Thank-you. 1000 Tula 223 SRP and a pound of CFE223 powder. I think I can put that to good use. :up:

I may try to head up there for this. Should be fun. But dont know if I'll have time. 4hrs of driving cuts into the day.

Primary arms has some more good deals. 30% of surefire, 20% off harris bipods, and $9 M3 pmags

WOW! That was the best price on ammo in years.

I will cast some out of stick-on weights and see if that changes anything.

Stayed in the 2nd AF jug Retained weight 126.3gr Expansion barely deformed the HP

Thats what he was doing, passing the slower car in front of him. Left lane isnt for doing 100mph, its for passing slower traffic.

I would have laughed and let him go. Or maybe pointed in front of him and screamed "Watch out!"

length divided by bore 66ft-8" is 800 inches divided by 16 inch bore equals 50   so a 16/45 caliber had a 16in bore and a 60ft(720in) barrel.   I dont know why they would call it a 16in/50caliber, that makes me think a 50cal round with a 16" barrel. Sounds like an AR15 chambered in 50 beowulf.lol

Ok, the 10rd thing isnt that big a deal. I can understand only loading 10rds, to force a reload during the COF. Looking at MCTS website, their COF is more along the lines of what I think I am looking for. They seem to be giving  a lot of leeway in how you shoot and when and how you reload. How do the matches in Manchester compare to MCTS matches?   I am not interested in winning any matches. I will be using my Glock 19 in a supertuck, always drawing from concealment, and likely use my Shield 9mm from time to time. What about my mag carrier? I have a single horizontal mag carrier, carried at about 11 o'clock. I know it is against the rules, but would I be allowed to use it and just take a time penalty?

I agree on the SS 9mm, but it depends on if they do it right. For $540 its going to have to be right.   ETA-I am not getting my hopes up on them releasing anything I want.

Forgot about that, I ordered a couple of those to

Also can I load my mags full instead of 10rds? I dont carry my 15rd mags loaded with just 10rds. And shoot the course more the way I want to as long as I follow the safety rules?

Cool. I ordered a BCG for $80 from AIM and a microdot for $60 from Primary Arms. Probably use Brownells 10% discount before it expires.

Thinking about going to the IDPA match Sunday. Its listed on IDPA website and shows time is 8-9am. Its not listed on the MTSC club website. But they show the mixed discipline matches registration is 11:45am on the 3rd Sunday. Anybody know anything about what time I need to show up? I have never done any kind of competition shooting.

Primary arms has the PA micro-dot with quick release riser mount for $60, among other items on sale   https://www.primaryarms.com/Sale-s/5169.htm

Well thats good to know if there is a way to tell the old vs new.

I've heard WW has gone down hill the past several months.

I reckon they are going to spend the rest of the season fighting the governor again, so I am out.
