Does anyone know if any of the Walmart's sell Marlin long guns? and if so can the be special ordered

Mac, Thanks for Banning him, he ripped of some good folks on a couple of knife forums that I frequent

Actually for the money the OP is talking about spending, you could get a nice Case XX and a Buck 110 for him that gift I am sure would please any knife fan

I am researching this with some mods on the knife forums, I will update this when I find out for sure

Well Gentlemen, it appears that our friend 10mm4me may be the same ass clown from Tennessee that has ripped off several people on knife forums that I frequent. His age and location as well as user name are all the same he claims to be a knife dealer with over 500k worth of merchandise that made several trades with people and never delivered on his end

I ordered a 110 S30V steel, Nickel Bolsters, Asian Water buffalo horn scales, with rivets I will post pics when it arrives it could be a couple of months for the custom order but it will be worth the wait!

I have always liked Buck knives those are Very nice OhShoot!

Very nice knives, I love that Warrior I have the Chris Reeve Pacific

That is awesome just to have the choices they offer, I just ordered one thanks again!

I had no idea you could custom build them nowadays, thanks for posting this!

sorry, i misread someone recently asked me about a knife for his father my mistake

Does your father like Guns? if so these are very nice M1911 Folding Knife with Black Oxide CPM S30V Blade and Checkered Laminated Cocobolo Grips

I never said the pistol did not work, it is a Nighthawk Custom by the way I said it would not feed certain ammo that the Ruger did namely Winchester Silver tip I still have the pistol and it feeds 230 grain Remington Golden Saber like a champ so that is what it eats personally I shoot a minimum of 500 rounds through any pistol before I carry it. I am not sure how much 1911 experience that you have but I myself have a bit and when a $700.00 1911 feeds the ammo that was ran through it by that smith without a malfunction that says a great deal about it I am a fan of 1911 pistols and one that is made in America and sells for what this one does that gets a review like this one did is worth folks considering that is all

Exactly, I have a 2.7K 1911 that will not run some of the ammo that Ruger did in his test feeding all these types of ammunition proves more reliability than firing several thousand rounds of ball ammo

You and me both they are hard to find at the moment

Joe Chambers is a very respected Professional Gun Smith, I copied his review of the Ruger SR1911 from GlockTalk's 1911 section it is pasted below: Professional Gunsmith Review of SR1911 Well, it finally dried out enough to go to the range today. Just so happens that a friend of mine wanted to go also. He has never shot a 1911 before in his life. So I thought, well, this will be good. Let someone who is totally a novice at the 1911 have a spin at a gun to see if THEY can get it to malfunction by limp wristing, jerking, or whatever...the results were astonishing... First off I'm going to list the bullets and or loads that were shot out of this gun. This is not necessarily the order as at times we were shooting whatever our hands could get hold of to put into the mags. I will say that the pricey self defense stuff was shot by me in an order and manner in which I have experienced it would most likely cause malfunctions. I will also mention that the SR1911 I purchased came with one seven and one eight round mag. - 230g ball Armscorp factory load (1999ish) - 200g Cast LSWC 5.8g Unique - 185g Star swagged LHPWC 3.8g CLAYS - 200 Sierra FP 6.0 W231 - 185g Zero JHP 4.1 Clays - 185g Nosler JHP Atlanta Arms Load - 230g Sierra HP CorBon Factory Load - 185g Starfire HP Factory Load - 185g (?) Winchester Silvertip HP Factory Load - 185g Cast LSWC TZZ (old milsurp load with short button nose bullet) - 200g Speer Gold Dot Factory Load In all, 225 rounds were fired in about 30 minutes. In total there were 11 different loads with 10 different bullet types tried. There was not one, and I mean not even a single solitary malfunction. Not when I put it in the hands of the newbie, not when I shot the softest wad loads I use (the 185g Star LSHP 3.8 CLAYS), not when I shot it sideways, upside down, soft handed or off the bench...it just ran and ran and ran. Now, that being said, I will be the first to admit that 225 rounds is not that many. However, putting 11 different types of ammo through it of all different nose types and o.a.l.'s is something that I have seen many other stock production, semi-custom and even custom guns choke on while trying to handle. Honestly, I was shocked...and impressed...and for those of you that really know me, you know that is pretty hard to do. This is not to say that the potential issues I listed in the initial review are not relevant. The slide stop nose and mag catch nose are still bumping which does affect accuracy. The extractor is still mis-fit, in my opinion, as is the ejector. The slide to frame is still loose side to side and etc. What it is to say is that this gun, out of the box, functioned with 225 rounds of 11 different loads and that is a good thing. Ejection: It was consistent with ball...6-7 feet at 5:00 from the shooter. With the self defense loads it was rather wild and all over which indicates a need, in my opinion, to tune the ejector and extractor a bit. With the soft loads it just dribbled them out of the gun and onto my feet, which is pretty normal when a gun sprung as this one was actually functions with them. The trigger: Ah, the trigger, yes, that funny little thing that can change on a whim if you are not careful. It went from being a VERY crisp 4lbs 14oz with a slight tick from time to time at the beginning to being a looong roll of just over 4lbs by the time we were done. This is the way I would expect a trigger with .026" hammer hooks and little to no relief on the sear to feel. It actually doesn't feel bad, but it is long! And this is pretty much what I expected to happen when I shot it as I knew that the fire control parts would mate together over time. Accuracy, well, ya. I shot it off the bench at 25 yards with both my accuracy hand loads of 185g Zero HP 4.1 CLAYS (a load that has consistently given me 10 shot groups of less than 1.5" at 50 yards out of custom built and re-built guns) and with a test load that I got from Atlanta Arms that has tested sub 1.300" 10 shot groups at 50 yards in many guns. Both targets were ten shots in wind that was about 20-25mph from left to right. The sights on this pistol need to be adjusted a bit but the groups off the rest were around 4-5". Considering the wind, as it was blowing the target and me pretty wildly, I don't think this is terribly bad and is certainly not out of line with what I have seen from other stock production guns. Although, I think that with better conditions it could shoot better. I did have one 5 shot group during a lull that went into 2.5" with the AA ammo. Overall, I was and am impressed with this gun out of the box. I'm not going to bother shooting it another couple of hundred rounds to see if it will fail. Instead I'm going to modify the things that I feel need to be fixed and sell it as my work with this particular piece is done for now. I hope it was as educational for you as the reader as it was for me as the smith. I personally would have no hesitation in purchasing one of these Ruger SR1911's at this time to shoot, enjoy and maybe even fix up for an everyday carry around gun if I was looking for something on a budget or just wanted something that was less expensive for outdoor use. It is, in my opinion at this time, an excellent value for the money. Thank you for reading, leaving your comments and feedback and supporting all of us smiths in what we do for a living.

If the bore is clean, Jump on it that appears to be one of their earlier models

Do you know the model number?

Grow up would you

According to RJ Martin my favorite custom knife maker, S30V is the best bang for your buck in todays knife steels. Crucial is the company he buys his steel from. The Zero Tolerance knives use this steel as well they know it is the best on the market for the money the best steel period in his opinion is S110V he hates working with it but loves what it does it is very expensive I own one of his knives in S110V he will be making me another after the Blade show with S110V and after that sheet is depleted told me he will never use it again You will be well served having an EDC blade in S30V, S90V or S110V i spoke with RJ at length about steel choices for an EDC blade

I would love to see that as well I hate the prick

Not a dumb question at all I think it is better than the Ruger double action models since you have big mitts you will love the size check one out before you buy something else

They are excellent 1911's that is for certain

Try a Glock 17, if you can deal with the trigger it will be an excellent choice for you

For me the only issues with them that I see is I hate the looks of them, do not like the parts that they use IE Storm lake barrels, sights, for the money they want I can buy a not so flashy Les Baer with what I consider superior parts however I think it is awesome that a local company is making them and if they appeal to any of you go for it by all means
