That is one fine looking 1911 you just got 88

Thanks. I just hope it works as well as it looks

Does anyone have anything that needs run up to the Fort next weekend? I'm meeting T-D and Jon to pick up Shiney. I need to swing by the house of mouse here in the next week or so anyway, and can take part in the CZ train if needed.

Must be a spur of the Pantsless Railway.

 

[churchmouse]

I have to get ready and get out the door.

Have the best day everyone.

 

[Birds Away]

Have a good day, CM.

Sure does seem like it runs pretty often.

Yes it does.

 

[RustyHornet]

Yes it does.

Thankfully I'll just be along for good company this time.

Another noob CZ question, sorry. I'm working on my pre-B 75. There are a few patches of surface rust, and a bit of minor pitting. Is it possible to sand off the pitting (very fine grain paper) without creating a bright polished area on the gun?

As to a pre-B, it seems like bluing would be more fitting than cerakoting, if I go the refinishing route.

Off to the range tomorrow to see if it cycles correctly, extracts casings, etc.

Here is a thread that covers stripping and rust bluing. You can ignore the other parts. I really don't know what to tell you about the pitting.

A person was murdered just down my road last night. Still no news this morning. This just goes to show that no matter where you live you need to stay aware of your surroundings.

As pits are actually exactly what they sound like, "pits" in the metal. It's not possible to sand them off without creating an uneven finish. I am not familiar enough with the bluing process to know how or if they can fill in the pits. There are products out there that you can fill the pits should you choose to go with Cerakote.

 

[RustyHornet]

Wow. Sorry to hear that Chris. Hopefully they find who did it.

Yeah, that's scary.

Yeah, I actually think Cerakote is the way to go if it is badly pitted.

I can't wait to get home today so I can veg out for 36 hours.

Morning all. BA, RH, 88. Chris, sorry to hear about your neighbor. Very scary

 

[llh1956]

I installed one of the new Disco's from CGW with the new grind on the DA wing. It went into BA's tricked out satin nickel and like the on 88's gun the da went up from 5.5 to 6.3. I will try it on another compact and then will be talking to David in the near future!

Late riser, morning fellers.

Pack-Indy loaned us one of the new disconnectors while he was up the other day. The only gun I had with me yesterday was my satin nickel compact. So, the Wizard is going to put that disco in it. I am very apprehensive this morning. I haven't heard if surgery has been performed yet or how the patient is.

Im anxious to hear how this turns out...crossing my fingers.

Sweet! Excited to hear the reports! I like that P-I guy. Don't tell him I said that though.

Our little secret.

He brings the best donuts and

Headed there this morning with my roommate.
