Oh crap, he's in here

Don't worry, his bat is soft.

I'm kinda in a firearm flummox right now. Many thoughts going through my head. I'm not sure that I'm totally happy with a scope on my American rimfire, I just prefer irons. My goal was a sorta mini sniper rifle to use as practice on the cheap. It's a great shooter, but the scope has taken all the enjoyment out of it for me. It is my critter rifle should the need arise, but it's not getting shot for that duty any further than about 50 yards.

There are many people that will tell you that I like the abuse. I cannot confirm, nor deny that.

 

[ChrisK]

So what happened with that one low left?

I'll slap you low left......

 

[RustyHornet]

I'll slap you low left......

Why is everyone so violent in there? Just avoid the boys please, I'd like to have kids someday.

 

[ChrisK]

Start saving you penneys folks, when you shoot this gun and see the quality of the build you will want one for yourself....

Hey now, that's hitting below the belt. Be nice, it happens to all of us at one time or another.

Pictures are on page 408

The tribute.
It is not fully tuned yet. Still some details to complete but it could be ran if need be.

There is a major amount of fitment represented here.



All the controls have been fit. No roll marks. Hard to see but the slide has a belief cut along the bottom There is a ball cut along the flat right at the curve.



Slide is machined for the rear sight. Flat topped and ball milled.





Hand fit barrel Bushing. It is still a touch to tight in the slide right now.

One sweet 1911!

The Tribute gun looks spectacular and, apparently, shoots that way as well.
Congrats to ChrisK.
There aren't two better to work on such a project than AllenM and the Mouse.

I got a call yesterday afternoon to come and look at the Redhead. They aren't saying it's done but they want me to come and look at it and say how much more I want them to do. It it's anywhere close to my original vision I'm just going to take it. I'm tired of waiting. It's already been a month.

 

[Birds Away]

I got a text from the Wizard also yesterday. The Phantom and the blue 85 are done. They both now have a 10x bushing and TFX Pro sights. Friday I ordered five more bushings for guns that already have sight upgrades. I hope to receive that order either today or tomorrow. More bushings for the Wizard's freezer.

Once these are installed the Ghost, Redhead, #6, the Green Machine and TnT will be complete.

Morning all...

Sounds like your plan is well into the implementation phase BA. I can't wait for shoot some of those beauties when you're done

 

[88E30M50]

Morning folks!

You are really making progress BA. What are you going to do with all of those non-TFX night sights? With all of the new CZ folks discovering the pistols, I imagine there should be a decent market for fresh but used sights.

I'm finally nearing the end of the reloading room redo. I still have not mounted the presses yet and the shelving needs done, not to mention the gang strips for the electrical. But, it's getting very close to being finished. I've also made a fair amount of progress on fixing the son's car. The spare fender from the yard barn is in great shape and cleaned up nicely with a bit of work.

Morning All...Still basking in the afterglow of shooting the Tribute...One of the most accurate guns I have ever shot. I need to thank Bradis for selling me the RO at a great price. CM and AllenM are the best...

My account was hacked this morning. Some nefarious characters out of a sand box country that I can not spell or pronounce.

To say I am Pi$$ed off is by no means covering this.

Now this makes me smile. Thanks. Needed it.
