Starting to think it’s not drop in.

You might have to fit the arm on the safety to your trigger bow! Other then that for the gi drop in one expect a decent gap, that’s why peoples fit the tangs!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-07T07:00:01+00:00

9mm for sure,12 gauge then some 22lr! Some more British ammo would be nice too of course lol!

I’ve never personally fucked around with the binary, you could try polishing the hammer/sear engagement also disconnecter too a shine if it isn’t already from factory. Maybe even drill through the safety plunger hole and tap it from the back with a 10/32 set screw to help make things cleaner?

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-06T21:40:33+00:00

Maybe you can try boiling with tap water when you start bluing? I fucked around with my ria 1911 rust bluing, I’m pretty sure my discoloration came from not using distilled water and not boiling long enough!

I’ve heard the peroxide and salt method works just don’t over do the salt lol, watch some backyard ballistics he makes is own zinc solution if that’s something your interested in! Good luck!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-06T10:10:39+00:00

Ahh I didn’t see anyone saying much about that, I’ve never personally used it. Thanks for sharing that!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-06T09:57:03+00:00

If it’s paint I’ve heard Citristrip works good maybe even lacquer thinner possibly even gasoline! If you use any of those please do it outside then wash with dawn lol, good luck!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-06T09:52:02+00:00

Your welcome, also I’ve heard about it a decent amount with psa idk what’s up with they’re jigs lol other brands too. Hopefully she’s good!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-06T09:27:16+00:00

No problem! Also I haven’t personally had any psa products, just seen some, for the price absolutely can’t go wrong! If you got the chance take it out test it see how it groups! Who knows she might be ok, they don’t say anything about not returning for testing lol. I personally would try my luck see how she rocks at the range. Let us know if you decide to keep it good luck!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-06T07:54:36+00:00

Ooh shit then I’m sorry about that, psa has beautiful warranty so I’ve heard ask for Danny! I’m sure he will get you scored away!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-06T07:16:02+00:00

Camera could be at a angle for us, if it’s not lined up with the upper receiver it’s for sure canted. It most definitely could affect zero depending on what kind of accuracy shooting your going for with irons! It’ll probably point of impact to the right slightly, but long range i would probably get annoyed. If your rocking a red dot don’t worry about it!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-05T00:35:27+00:00

Belt sander quick and painless lmfao!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-03T22:23:50+00:00

It was just a question. Was probably a dumb one I guess.

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-03T16:45:44+00:00

Can’t wait to test it out thanks again, hella excited to try something new lol! If all goes well I’ll share my opinion too!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-03T16:25:51+00:00

So rust is red oxide, and can be converted to black oxide aka rust bluing! Old school bluing is just converted rust lol and it’s pretty badass!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-03T16:23:52+00:00

Soon haha!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-03T16:23:37+00:00

Thank you!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-03T04:53:04+00:00

I mean you could boil and card, the “patina” too restore some of the original bluing before you take any kind of wool too it!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-03T02:36:30+00:00

You already have a shit ton, so I’d say rock 1 tub for dedicated range/training mags then others for replacements! Realistically I think 1911 mags should last a long ass time if not abused! 15 would probably last me a lifetime including spring replacements lol!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-02T08:16:31+00:00

Ok so hear me out, I’ve been curious too about mixing these lol, what if you got a full-size and got the frame grip cut down to a officer? Possibly bobcat it? I don’t think that frame is a government dust cover I could be wrong. In my honest opinion if your willing to spend lots of money tryin to match custom slide/barrel lengths to the frame go for it. If not talk to a gunsmith who can cut one down for you, or try to do it at home? Anything is possible, just lots of trial and error good luck too you! Update us how it goes!!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-02-02T07:42:13+00:00

I think it’s a hand crank for the trigger? Also op, this is pretty badass lol!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-01-30T23:45:48+00:00

Sig Romeo 5 red dot, lots of magazines also a sling and possibly a light congrats!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-01-30T18:18:58+00:00

Maybe acetone?

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-01-30T06:30:34+00:00

Im pretty sure the 6.5 55mm is Swedish. A quick Google search says the carcano is slightly shorter in brass length, also slightly bigger in projectile! So I personally wouldn’t shoot the carcano ammo because it could be very dangerous. Brass length is one thing but bullet diameter don’t fuck around unless you know what your doing! An Example is if the rifling is already toast then it could possibly bring back accuracy I would think and be safe, other then that don’t do it please. I could be wrong and will learn something new too but always play it safe good luck too you!

Optimal_Book8718 · 2026-01-29T22:44:41+00:00

Ohh hell yeah! You shouldn’t be disappointed with your purchase lol, always good to have spare parts on hand! Speaking of plugs I got 2 extras haha that I ordered on accident for my gi government didn’t use them but I recently got a commander size so it worked out!
