from pistol_purview Colt 1911 by Jim Milks, but this one kind of took a virtual village to build. Here’s how she came together. First, with the help of 1911 Addicts (my favorite internet forum) I found this unmolested large letter Colt 70 series, and after buying it, my buddy @captainbigshot transferred it to me. NextContinue reading “Jim Milks Custom Colt”

A B-ARFCOM user reported this Kaboom today and there is much discussion on the cause. I pull the trigger and Kabloooey!!! Shit flying, smoke all over and both thumbs are numb on the pad.   I look down, magazine spring hanging out, follower pieces on the table.  I checked myself to see if I wasContinue reading “Parts Gun Kaboom”
