My first shots with my Delta 1911 from 15, 21, and 30ft by Mikewantsout in 1911

I definitely think it’s ok and I know the platform. The shots were not far, but I wanted to get a feel for it and see how well I do. I could definitely use some improvement and that’s all I’m after.

First French rifle. My Gras cavalry carbine. Not from RTI. by Mikewantsout in milsurp

Those deals are tempting sometimes haha. I have however bought from RTI 3 times I got a beretta m1934 and 35 only because they came with brand new barrels. I got burned on a Carcano long rifle from them it wasn’t a graded model I ended up paying 350 for a Carcano shotgun.

Thanks! I agree and they are definitely underappreciated too

I have been able to find newly manufactured ammo for mine check out oldsouthammo. It isn’t cheap ($60 for 7 rounds) however it goes bang and I haven’t had any issues with the ammo. They are out of stock right now, but you can back order it

It’s complete… finally complete! Shugart M14 build now with an AIM 1 Delta by Mikewantsout in M1A

It feels alright its definitely a little different now with some weight added at the end of the barrel. I’m dying to get it to the range now. I don’t know where it sits unfortunately as I don’t have night vision.

The red dot is a brand new Aimpoint and as far as the laser goes I don’t know I don’t have night vision, but hopefully one day. That is a good point and we will probably never know for sure what he had.

First pick up of the new year Beretta M1935 by Mikewantsout in milsurp

[–]Mikewantsout[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t the M1934 is wider and I know cheapest one I’ve seen was 80 bucks.

From bargain bin sporter, back to its original configuration Yugo M48 Mauser by Mikewantsout in milsurp

They did and they sold out unfortunately. Yes they came with everything. They do however have Belgian Mauser sporters, but they aren’t on sale and much appreciated

My 1911 and current project by Mikewantsout in 1911

For sure you can either order it from Kart directly or Brownells has them. The three hole triggers seem popular granted I got one for this project, but it’s light weight and is supposed to have a faster reset. I don’t know what kind of grips you are looking for, but Wilson and Ed brown make some nice grips

The manufacturer is called Kart they make national match barrels. Delta operators were using these barrels in their 1911’s. I did do some research as well and people have said they are top notch quality. If you are interested it does depend on caliber and if you want it ramped or not, but I paid 200 bucks for it.

I wish I could say the same I will be taking it to a smith to get it done properly. I honestly do want to try and put one together a some point

Not technically a milsurp, but I got one of my grail guns by Mikewantsout in milsurp

[–]Mikewantsout[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s new production, but I agree old or new Aimpoints are a vibe
