This says it all.

Received the knife today, and I have to say you and 1911alltheway out did yourselves on this one, It's ten times better looking than the pictures could show, the stag handle is amazing and feels great in the hand, the sheath is just unbelievable the camin alligator skin accents just set off the sheath. Thanks' again guys. I'll post some pics of all the blades you made me this weekend.

I would like to know what or how they determine short barreled rifle ammo, and some handgun ammo is used in rifle's. I'm glad I reload, I've never bought ammo from them but it's sad day's ahead.

Grand Torino thanks again, I'm gonna have to get a display stand for this one. You and 1911alltheway really did a great job on this project, I'm sure glad you decided to make this one.

I can't wait to get my hands on this one thank's for doing this build for me Grand Torino.

Andrews Leather is tops, I have a full Shark Hide Hybrid style for a full size 1911. That's a good looking rig you have, should last a lifetime or two.

He is a very good knife maker, I only have three, two of them I had him build for me the other I go out of the classifieds. I need another Bowie Style Knife, I still would like him to consider making me that ( "SASQUATCH" ) style but we'll have to see. Here are the two I had him build for me.

Well I guess I won't go through the hassle to get one now, I'll just wait and see what happens next.

Man you really have a rare one there, only a few 100 were ever made with a 10"Bbl. You need to put that one in the safe. From your pictures it looks to be in really good condition, the cylinder only has faint turn lines on it, is that the original box you have?

My correction, I just seen were your Ruger was made in 1960. The 357 Maximum was developed by Remington and Strum&Ruger in 1982 according to a book I have.

This is chambered in the 357 Maximum correct not 357 Magnum.

That's a great find right there, I've only seen a few of those and they weren't for sale. I'm still looking for a 10"Bbl. 44 to replace one I had from awhile back. Enjoy your Ruger and welcome to TN.

Nice find, enjoy that COLT.

Sorry double post.

Your welcome sir, enjoy it.

Hey "you're melted brick" went out today by USPS.

I sent you a reply to the PM. you should have it by next weekend, and no it's not a melted brick or anything else you have my word that.

PM me your address and I'll send it out to you, I only have one and you can have it. But once you get it you need to post a pic of it.

You can have mine, I'll never buy or trade for one ever again.

Thanks for the advice, do you remember the size of the pin.

Yeah I have about 8000 loaded and ready to go. I can't wait to run some down it and see how it shoots.

I recently ran across a deal(at least I think so) on a Colt Gold Cup National Match 70 series on another forum that I belong to. I've always wanted one in 70 series and passed on a few due to the price($1200- $2000 plus) this one I got for $850. I checked the serial# on Colts web-site and it showed it was made in 1981. The slide to frame fit is tight with no movement or rattle, has the original box(has seen better days but it is original to the gun) has a collet bushing and it fits tight to the Bbl. front strap has the vertical serrations, original grips. I haven't had time to put some rounds down it yet, but hopefully soon. Here are a few pics.

Post some pics. of the gun with the mag. inserted so we can see what going on. Could be the brand of Mag. or as other's have said it could be the Mag. Release Button, or the Mag Catch.

The sad thing is the day that he shipped it to me I left town to go to work in Evansville IN and won't be back till sometime in November, so I may wrap it up and open it at Christmas lol.

Here are the specs.- 1/4" 1070 Carbon Steel w/ AOL- 14 1/4", Blade is 8 1/2", handle is Cocobolo w/ Red TRU-STONE and White G-10 accents, Guard is the same material as the blade. This is the second knife I had him build and I purchased one of his smaller knives last month that he had listed, I'll post some pics. of all three once I get this one in hand. Thanks for looking.
