Anytime I start a project I haven’t done before I always use YouTube for tips and how to videos.

Somebody needs this...

Up for sale is a classic. A Series 70 MKIV Government Model 1911. This gun was made in 1980. I have other 1911's that I shoot and this one just sits in the safe. Time for it to find another home. I do not have the box and it comes with one magazine. $900

Here is the information from the link above: Re: using a 45LC in a 454 « Reply #20 on: January 13, 2011, 09:10:34 AM » Quote The 45 Colt is .100 shorter than the 454 Casull. When shooting the 45C in 454 chambers, lead and powder residue is left in the chamber just ahead of the case. This build up of residue can restrict chambering the longer 454 cartridge and can cause excess pressure by not allowing the crimp of the 454 to easily open up to allow the bullet to exit the case. Another potential problem is when the revolver is cooling down after firing it collects moisture. This moisture mixed with the lead and powder residue creates an acid which can etch the chamber underneath the lead and powder residue. With this condition, even if the residue is cleaned out of the chamber, the longer 454 case will now stick in the etched area of the chamber when fired and can be difficult to remove depending on the amount of etching. Over the years we have seen this problem more from guns in high humidity areas than from low humidity areas but it still occurs in the low humidity areas. For some folks this seems to be an emotional issue and some folks even claim that all we are trying to do make extra money on extra cylinders. What we are actually trying to do is help our customers get the most trouble free life from their FA revolver as possible. I know of some customers that have shot thousands of 45C rounds in their 454 chambers with no problems but they thoroughly clean the gun when finished shooting. Other customers have ended up with one of the above problems fairly quick also. All we can do is put out the information, it is up to the individual what they do with the information. Sounds like the model 97 may be better suited to shooting 45 Colt.

Welcome

Post some pics when you get it. There are a lot of Savage 99 fans here.

Unless the wear is really bad seems a pretty solid deal.

Looking for a 5.5” model 83 in .45 colt. Let me know if you have one to sell.

One of the new ones or a vintage one?

Up for sale is my Colt Pony. I was considering this for a little pocket carry gun but I think I am going to stay with my PM9. I am the second owner. Not sure of the rounds count but I have not shot it. $450
