New Colt 7.62×39 M4
Looks like Colt has decided to jump back into the x39 AR15 market. It’s been a long time since they offered a rifle in the commie round. The last one that was sold on the civilian market was the R6830 which I had one of for a while. You may recall I wrote a reviewContinue reading “New Colt 7.62×39 M4”

Charlie Thompson Custom Colt
Pistol_purview Colt 70 series .45 1911 by regional smith Charlie Thompson out of Toledo Ohio. Karl Beining found this abandoned gem at a local gun show and the hard chromed Bomar and the swaged magwell made it worth the cost of admission for me. Still wearing its original hard chrome, it’s now “cleaned up” aContinue reading “Charlie Thompson Custom Colt”

Swenson “Ugly Man” Custom 1911
From Custom_Handguns “Ugly man” is coming to town. The latest #ArmandSwenson to the collection. If #custom1911 gunsmiths are to be compared to artists, Swenson is the Picasso.
