No this one isn't one of my play toys, I'll just send it off and get a new bolt built for it.

That would be great I'm working up there during the week, I'll look them up when I get there

Yeah that's why I want a one piece replacement bolt from PTG, but don't know any gunsmiths around TN to do it, I really don't want to mail off my action to somewhere when I could drive a few hours to drop it off.

Here's one more, not sure if this can be fixed

Here's what it looks like.

I need a Gun Smith to fit and head space a new bolt for my Remington 700 in 308. I have a custom built Remington by RITTEN PRECISION no longer in business, It came with a PTG Two Piece bolt, I sent the bolt off to be fluted and refinished well long story short I managed to drop it and break the handle off don't ask. I'm not sure if it can be welded back it doesn't look like it can. Does anyone know of a gunsmith in TN. that would order me a new PTG One Piece Bolt and fit it. Thanks

Looks good, glad you found what you wanted.

Looks great who ever got those they are going to like them for sure.

Can't wait to see what sheath 1911alltheway comes up for this one, I'll send you a pm tonight when I get home. Thanks again for the opportunity to purchase this one.

I would challenge you to that task, if you made it in Damascus steel with a 3"'-3 1/2" blade, I would most likely buy it. You know me I like to challenge your skills.

No problem, I've got another style, a Bruce Nelson that I would like to send you also and see if you can maybe make one like it also. I would like a Rhodesian in smooth leather with a little more higher ride and to fit a 1.5" gun belt. Just PM me and if you want I'll send them out to you for you to look at.

I can't wait to see this in person, from the pics it looks great you did a great job on making that sheath, thanks again.

Looks great, the only thing I can see that you could change is the angle of the belt loop. On my Thad Rybca Rhodesian Holster the belt loop is straight. Other than that you did a great job, I would be proud to own that holster. I could send you my orginal for you to examine in person, just PM me.

Thanks that pic you sent me with the leather sheath is awesome, can't wait to get my hands on this one.

Can't wait to get this one. Thanks again Grand Torino as usual you nailed exactly what I wanted.

Thanks, that is some good information, it had to happen sometime.

They should have just left everything as it was. If it "ain't" broke don't try to fix it, same with the "new" style of Drivers License, what since does a Star make just to fly or enter a Fed. Building. All this does is create a problem that didn't exist till the Government sticks their nose in.

My two out of the "box" Wilson CQBE's have never taken a dump. I've got 18,000 rnds. down one and have only had to replace the springs, the second has 12,000 rnds through it and both have ran flawlessly since I had them ordered and built(not out of the box) I've had two ED BROWNS both of those ran without a problem, also had a NightHawk GRP that once it hit 15,000rnds the ejector tip broke off but it kept running, several LES BAERS now they all had some little problems but mainly they were Magazine related. I carry both Wilson's. I've had $3000+ guns and $300 dollar 1911's all of them have functioned except for one and that one was a Kimber I couldn't get that thing to run at all so I sold that one, but I have owned two more Kimbers that ran fine. It doesn't matter what brand or how much you spend you just have to make sure they run.

Your welcome enjoy it, let me know how you like it. The offer still stands when ever you want to try out some of my 1911's when I get back home from work.

Not really worried about it. Explain to me how gifting or giving a firearm to someone, is any different from me going to a gun show and buying one from and individual who I don't know if they traveled from out of state, the only time that I've been asked or I ask for ID, is if I sell or buy here on TGO. So I guess all the guns I inherited when my father passed away, and he was a resident of PA and I moved here to TN. and established this state as my residence that I violated the law? I'm not saying what took place with the OP who started this thread was right or wrong, I just have a hard time believing that what I done was technically illegal, but that's just me.

I guess I've broken the law a few times, I've bought some guns in the past and gave a couple of them to my brother-in-law who lives in PA. I really never thought about having him take them to his FFL, oh well I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Kydex is faster to draw from for me than leather, I guess like all leather it needs to be broken in but still retain the gun, were Kydex is usually pre molded to already fit, but also remember don't be a cheapskate when buying either make sure they are of good quality. I've got a J&M Kydex Holster think it ran $60 and I also have a Raven OWB that was $70, both hold the guns nice and tight but are easy to draw from, now my leather ones cost me a lot more, I have and Andrews HY-Bird that is full Shark Hide OWB, Milt Sparks 55bn OWB, and a couple of others. A good Gun Belt is also needed and make sure it fits the loops snugly I prefer a 1.5" width belt when carrying either IWB(inside the waistband) or OWB. I tend to stay away from Paddle Holsters unless they have a good retention to stay put when drawing your gun( it's funny but I've seen and had it happen to me when practicing with a cheap one the whole thing comes out) do some searches and find out what works best for you.

I suppose so but that's the only type of handgun that I do and will carry. I do enjoy shooting them but I bought them for me to carry and use as a defensive tool.

I've got 5 1911's, two Wilson Combat CQBE's .45cal, Les Baer TRS .45cal, Springfield GI .45cal. and a new Colt in .38 super. I carry both of the Wilsons all the time I just rotate them out, One has 15,000-18,000rnds. ran through it, the other around 10,000, as far as wear goes I could care less you can always have them refinished if you want and I replace the parts that show wear but so far I've only changed out the recoil springs and main springs in them when needed or recommended . I switch off form Kydex Holsters, to Leather Holsters, the Kydex will cause more "wear" on the finish. Both of those guns cost me $3200 to have them built. The Les Baer I have only two mags shot through it since I bought it just to check for function. The SA, and Colt I just recently bought and have yet to shoot them. So I guess to answer your question yeah I'm fine carrying them and I'm not really worried about wear, remember they can all be refinished. Hope this answers your question, enjoy your 1911 and carry it they look better with a little wear marks on them anyway.

I learned the hard way a few years back right after sandyhook. I couldn't find anything in stock anywhere. I now have 48lb of powder and 110,000 primers and well over 100,000 pieces of brass all for my .45acp I won't get caught off guard again. I usually wait till I have enough saved up before I place an order just so I can save on the hazmat fee.
