Let's see that shooter

[Kettenhund]

I went a different direction then I initially thought I'd go. After much thought and research, thanks to all who posted their recommendations for flash hiders, I decided to go with a muzzle break device over flash hider. I went with the Surefire SOCOM. Pricey but reviews were very positive and after weighing what I really to accomplish, disperse flash signature or reduce felt recoil/muzzle climb, I opted for the SOCOM.

OK, it's loud but the muzzle does not move while firing so that's a trade off I can live with! It's a bitch to time and to put on. There are no flats for an armorer's tool except at the side openings. A GI muzzle tool did not give enough purchase on it to make me feel i could put 35ft/lbs without slipping. Thankfully I had a 3/4 inch crowsfoot.

Is it the best thing since sliced bread?? No, but for now It works for me. Oh, the other new addition is the 4x32 M150 ACOG. I replaced the standard Trijicon mount with a GG&G lever mount. Much nicer!! Love this optic!! IMHO, better than my Ecan Spector.

Sweet!

PPX, picked up pretty much free unexpected bonus.
Then shot it and fell in love. Replaced the 5shot snubby for house pistol.

Fun with a branding iron, or soldering iron whichever you prefer. Yes I burned myself....

Nice work. What tip did you use?

 

[busdriver]

Two actually. A "pattern transfer" tip and a "shading tip" both from a wood burning kit. I checkered both first at 30 lpi. I think I need an intermediate size tip too. Also lesson learned, start with the smallest tip in the tight areas and work up to the big tip to cover the flats. I did it reverse of that and I think I could have hidden some of the "tool marks" by switching it around.

OK gents, just took this out of its case after about 20 years. Rossi .44-40 Win, made in Brazil.
Can't find a whole lot of information as I can't really tell if the numbers are model, serial, or NOTA. It does not have a 92 anywhere so I'm gonna guess it isn't a Model 92, but that's just a guess. I don't know when Rossi stopped putting Amadeo on the barrel so I can't even date it. Other than a "gun that won the west" reproduction, I'm lost. Any help?

That has the same lines as my 92 so I'd say it's a fair bet it is. My info is under the lever except for the caliber which is on the barrel. Mine is posted here, the front sight decided to bit my index finger so more pics will have to wait.

That is a very dangerous weapon, you should ship it to me immediately.
I'll make sure it is safe (in my safe)

I saw the one RP posted which reminded me I should ask about this one. It just has some peculiarities that I can't find info on. Example: The spelling of "Brasil."

Nice try.

Well, Portuguese is the official language of Brazil and in Portuguese Brazil is spelled Brasil. That would explain it.

Er, I meant that none of the other imports are spelled that way so this may have been a weapon which was never intended for import to the U.S.
No model, no import stamp, etc. My bad. Should have been clearer.

Ah. Gotcha.

My new 1911. SIG Scorpion Carry

SIG does a nice job with their grip safeties. The fit on my Springfield is annoyingly crappy.

It's ugly and awkward, you better send it to me so you don't have to worry about it anymore. :-"

Here's my commemorative deployment pistol. Kimber Custom 2 1911
Ignore the wedding ring, I've gotten rid of that accessory.

Just got this one back from the Cerakote guy.
