The Longbranch / Re: This is extremely well done
« Last post by Baltimore Ed on June 06, 2023, 10:24:11 PM »This is a very cool film with the WW1 footage, eyewitness comments, news reports and ‘Martians’ but I wish they could have did a litter better with the cgi Tripods and not repeated the same images as often. You might want to try a film called Mutant Chronicles, it’s kind of steam punky with airships, steam cannons and the aliens rebuilding humans into their mutant soldiers. Has Ron Pearlman in it. I liked it.

1911 & Wild Bunch Shooting / Re: Recommendations for a better 1911
« Last post by Coffinmaker on June 06, 2023, 06:54:09 PM »
Doc H 
I'm really no help here (almost no help). When I first started shooting Wild Bunch, my match gun was an AMT Hardballer. Loudly panned by the "all knowing" scribes. After I started feeding it with good magazines it ran like a Goosed Gorilla. Ran well enough I also carried it as a LEO Duty Gun. That Good. I've mentioned above my next Wild Bunch guns (yep, Plural) were a pair from Springfield Armory. Same story. When fed with quality magazines, dead reliable. Had to be as I shot 'em as "Last Man Standing."
"Others" said it well. Price should not be the "Prime Directive." FUNCTION should drive it all. And function should come right out of the box with quality magazines.
Just my Two Bits. Six actually.
PS: Why oh Why did I ever let that Hardballer get away. It was some sweet.

1911 & Wild Bunch Shooting / Re: Recommendations for a better 1911
« Last post by Major 2 on June 06, 2023, 03:06:23 PM »The first 1911 I had was a Mixmaster with a Colt slide on a Remington Rand frame,
It was assembled of miscellaneous parts; it was loose and sort of rattled if you shook it.
But it was fool proof and I never had it fail to feed.
To be honest, the only reason I let it go was pure and simple greed.
I had maybe $350 in it, and an offer of $875 was just too tempting.

A guy who ran a high end shooting school said from his experience, if it wasn't a Colt or a Springfield Armory they didn't tend to make it through the whole class without problems. He said he knew he was going to get blown up by the Kimber, etc. guys, but those were his observations. I don't know myself, as I shoot a 1918 Colt. Best of luck with whatever you get!

CAS City Classifieds / RARE Kenny Howell "Factory" Conversion of 1858 Remington New Model Army
« Last post by Dusty Morningwood on June 06, 2023, 09:52:00 AM »Mr. Howell has confirmed that "5816 was built in 11 of 2002 and went to Cooks Sportland" in Venice, FL.
This is for you Rarities and B Sides folks. An excellent example of Kenny Howell's early cartridge conversion of a Uberti 1858 New Model Army chambered in .45 Long Colt. It is in very good, lightly used condition. Chambers are dusty and show some machine marks (?) and bore is bright and sharp. The faux ivory grips, just like The Dude's rug, really pulls it together. There were some minor rust spots on exterior that I took care of during photography. These do not come up very often. Back when Howell was building them, he charged about what I am asking and you provided the parent revolvers. This is about as close a copy of a Remington factory conversion as you will find. $1450 + Shipping to your FFL. More photos available.
