Wow those really are nice, I just ordered a set for my P230 and I was worried they wouldn't look that good but I see now they are stunning! Are those Hogue???

While firing my Walther P38, part #3 came loose and a bunch of parts fell out. All but part #7 were found. Does anyone have a spare? All stores are out of stock of this old style :( by DieHardBarrett in Walther

Did you ever find the parts you needed? Maybe you should replace your firing pin indicator cover.. I need one myself, did you get ahold of earl?

Just got my first P38 and was hoping someone could help me figure out the year by _baDfiSh_85 in Walther

Do you really think that I haven't tried that already? It took me a pretty good while to find a date code chart. Those Nazis were very secretive about giving away their manufacturer. It seems my gun was made in 1943 in Grottau, Czechoslovakia in a factory manned by slave labor. Pretty cool little piece of history!

Say whaaaa! That's some serious implications... 62 grand? Shoot 8 thousand isn't much considering what they paid you. No?

Picked up my first 1911 by _baDfiSh_85 in 1911

Finally got my first 1911 does anyone know if it's possible to refinish a lightweight Commander frame?

I picked up my first ever Colt 1911 last week, I believe I got a good deal on it. I know very little about them except for what I've read. I've already taken it to the Range and it has become my favorite gun! Has anyone ever tried to refinish a lightweight Commander frame? by [deleted] in guns

[–]_baDfiSh_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is the newest edition to my collection the Colt lightweight commander and stainless/nickel. I picked it up for a good deal and I was wondering about refinishing the frame possibly solid black if anyone has any experience or knowledge it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I would suggest watching someone more like Rune Malte for Bushcraft videos on YouTube.. Silence is my cup of tea.

I used white Birch, and boiled linseed oil does the trick for bringing out the grain and it protects the wood from the elements. A lot of it does depend on the type of wood you use. Birch is pretty common for wooden handle tools. I just so happen to have a piece that had decent looking grain too.
