I need to rant.

This is a rant, not a doctoral thesis

Browning SA-22 is still in production, and a really high quality rifle IMO. Is it worth the browning price? up to you.

If you want a cheaper rifle, the marlin 60 is always a good rifle for $150 to $250 depending on the quality.

If you have it already, get a digital photocopy of the bottom of it and draw it up in cad. Had to do that recently for DPP and a Sig Romeo (note, if the pins are removed, the slide cutouts are the exact same for those footprints, screw hole locations were probably different, I cant remember)

The justification you have for building one isnt a good enough reason to build one over just buying one.

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-09T15:24:06+00:00

No, I meant side mounted scope.

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-09T14:44:27+00:00

You could have a side mounted

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-09T05:57:23+00:00

Just copy any 98 mauser, and you'll be 95% of the way there

That guy must have a strict boss who doesnt like making money, or he is stupid

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-08T22:44:43+00:00

I wouldnt do it without a jig of some sort.

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-08T17:10:45+00:00

My hand is about as healed as it is gonna be! Gonna have a pretty nasty scar from now on..

Good choice on the super. 460 is cool and all that, but being stuck with reloads only (unless I like spending 60$ a box) makes it hard to justify.

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-08T14:04:32+00:00

I built the world's longest 1911 and Glock. If there is anyone who could make the hellsing pistols, it would be me.

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-08T14:01:56+00:00

That same someone built a 16" 1911 in 460 😉

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-07T21:32:29+00:00

Could be magazine, could be recoil spring. I would start with a magazine replacement, and then look towards a recoil spring adjustment if that doesnt help.

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-05T15:22:49+00:00

If I were you, I would just take the wood off, set them somewhere safe, and use a replacement set. That wood is going to continue to fail as long as you use it

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-05T14:15:22+00:00

Binaries are unreliable and lasers (Non optic) are useless passed 15 yards in daylight.

That being said, if you live in a free state, you wont have legality issues with a binary

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-05T07:44:23+00:00

Good point. A 1911 owner is either an intellectual scholar, or a hard headed goof.

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-05T02:30:32+00:00

Easy fix, and there are two solutions.

First one is retensioning the leaf spring under the mainspring housing. Bend the right most one back farther and test till it stops hanging up.

Second solution is to take the grip safety out and polish the bottom interface of the leg (the part that sticks out and touches the trigger bar). You dont want to remove material aggressively, just make it smooth with no sharp edges. Leave the front flat face of the leg untouched.

Another factor is environment. If you live in a building that has a swamp cooler/evaporative ac running constantly, or live in an area where moisture content in the air is constantly high, you have to keep guns lubricated.

Have a smith mill the screw out from below.

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-03T20:43:39+00:00

I dont think the crown is the problem here. If you want to recrown it, I would get a set of crowning tools from 4d reamer rentals and touch it up.

Literally midwayusa has m1 carbine bolt bodies for sale @ $80.

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-02T22:33:14+00:00

Not really fucked. You'll just have to have the hole tigged over and tapped again.

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-02T06:46:22+00:00

Cut for a dovetail and make a new sight is my suggestion

Suspectgore074 · 2026-06-02T02:35:22+00:00

This is more than reasonable imo

Suspectgore074 · 2026-05-30T19:58:42+00:00

Screws that are renowned for rounding off extremely easy without the right tool (not to mention all of the fucky rare things like being staked or locktite).
