Post a number between 1-1000 here: Contest Read the rules  .As for the 1911, spectacular. |
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I gotta tell ya, Mark, you are one lucky guy to have a wife like that!! I thought I was lucky to have one that lets me feed my addiction without bitchin' about it. But I can't imagine her actually be complicit in such behavior. Oh...Damn nice 1911 too! Makes me want to use my Springfield Champion as an anchor... |
In life you WILL make mistakes. The measure of a man is how you deal with it.
If you don't think you have time to do it right...when will you find the time to do it over?

That is one gorgeous 1911. I love my Springfield Loaded, but an LT 1911 would be....well...I don't even know! I just want one!

Well, shit. I have always appreciated the vast amount of workmanship that goes into building a reliable 1911 pistol, but after a couple of negative experiences of my own, I swore to never invest any more of my money into any 1911 platform pistols again.... Now , I swear that if Mark & Co. start making 1911's I will be one of the first in the loooong line to buy one, as I know it will be built correctly, and will function like it should. That is one damn fine lookin' pistol you got there Mark! |

That pistol is the devil! ITS A FALSE IDOL!

When asked if people point their muzzle up or down at the range when not shooting, bblake00 replies:
"I just point them at people walking to change their targets and dryfire while going bang bang with each pull of the trigger."

Very Nice Sir. So what else do you have in your nifty bag of tricks that you would like to share with us?

Sorry, I raced out the first time. I did make a point to come back. Mark, that IS a gorgeous 1911. I certainly looks a lot better than my Plain Jane Kimber Stainless Pro Carry II with Kimber Rosewood grips. I really like the work on the slide. I would be nice to see the slides offered, but it would take away the uniqueness of your 1911. Again, beautiful piece.

A bad day shooting beats a great day working!
Sure we're gonna crank back up on the Bovax, but I'm certain the "Gang of Four" is already eyeballing this thread and licking their lips. The conversation is probably going like this ... "Did any of us check to see if LaRue has any protection on this?" "He doesn't?" "Damn, he's that stupid ?" "Yep, and since we've seen rear sights before, we're free to build ours exactly like his and dare him to say anything about it !!" "Yeah, and since we've got guys on the board that are like-minded guys like us, they'll cover our a$$es when word leaks out. " "Hell yeah, and we'll have Stickman take pics just like Fingar's !!" "Hooah !! Lets all have a drink. We're a f*ckin' bunch of genius sonsabitches !!

I own ONE 1911 ... and it is my primary off-duty piece. Build these, and I'd own TWO 1911s. LaRue Tactical: Total World Domination, one new product at a time. VJ |

Mark, That is a real honey you have there - dang, both of 'em, the 1911 and your wife. I thought I was lucky by having my wife let me back into an M1A a few years ago, but sir, you are definitely in the major leagues with that STI. Besides the down hill chamfers and the Bovax site, what are the specs on that piece? |

Ahh yeah, it was I that pioneered the wire-EDMing of breech-faces. And the bore ... ahh yes, the bore ... the bore was only excelled by the straightness of the rails themselves. Plus we "surfed" the tops of the rounded ones ... first to do that too. Machined from a solid bar ... yep, we've been CNC Billet-machining for a couple decades now. Caspian advertised back then that it took them 7 years to perfect their slide setup ... it took me 7 months.

anybody else whisper in their head as you were reading this, like it was going down in a back alley somewhere? or just me? |
