S&W Model 19 and FN HI Power

 

This is just a general picture but it shows a S&W Model 19 that I have had for 27 years. This old gun has gone down many a dark alley and building search.
The other at the bottom of the picture is my FN Hi Power which I plan to do some customizing on. I've already done the trigger job. I just need to add better sights and an extended safety. Call it a work in progress:-) Posted by Picasa

C&S Series 70 Colt After Adding Beavertail & Flat Mainsping Housing



This is a Wilson Combat drop-in beavertail as well as a Wilson flat mainspring housing. Granted the drop in beavertail is not as good a fit as filing the area for a custom fit. However, the cost is $27.95 compared to $95.00 for a custom fit. In addition I really don't want to cut the frame on a series 70! Wilson and C&S make the best aftermarket parts in my opinion. Yea, I know most people probably don't like the skateboard tape on the front of the grip. Granted it's not as pleasing as a fine checkering job but we get back to not cutting on that series 70 frame!

Cylinder & Slide Colt Series 70 Commander




This is a Colt series 70 Commander customized by Cylinder & Slide. There are way to many improvements to list but needless to say it shoots like you would not believe. C&S really does magic with a 1911. I'm adding a beavertail grip safety and flat mainspring housing to make a more comfortable grip at least for me:-) Grips are by VZ grips. these are fantastic grips made in three types of finishes and come in several colors of Micarta. I also use what I believe to be the best mags around also from C&S.

DPMS M4



This started out as a standard DPMS AR15 carbine. I added all the accessories to make it an M4. I added a new stock, single point sling, front light mount with Surefire light, rail foregrip as well as a vertical foregrip. I also put a Tango Down rear grip on it and added Magpul's to all my mags. Last but certainly not least I mounted an EoTech holographic sight. The only thing left is to add BUIS.

DPMS Lo-Pro AR15



This is my favorite AR15 from DPMS. It' the Lo-Pro model with a 16 inch Douglas match barrel. I fitted it with the Leatherwood ART scope. This rifle shoots 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards! The Leatherwood line of scopes have their own interesting story. Created by an Army officer to cure the deficiencies in then current scopes the ART stands for automatic ranging and tracking. Measurement scales are viewable as you look through the scope so that you can gauge the size of the target then adjust the ring for distance. The scope can be set for the type of ammo you are using from 17 HMR to 375 H&R magnum. Just set the cams per the simple instructions then lock the cams and your ready to go. DPMS supplies a hard case and two mags with the rifle. A fine rifle with great balance.

Colt Series 80 45 & Sig GSR Revolution



On the left is the Sig GSR Revolution which is Sigarms version of the 1911. A very fine gun as well as being one of the most accurate 45's I have ever shot. While not an eaxact copy of the 1911 the internal workings are the same. Only the slide is a variation from the original. On the right is my series 80 Colt 1911. I've customized it by adding Novak low mount sights, trigger job and Wilson Combat match trigger.

Savage 10FP



This is my Savage 10FP in .308 (7.62X51 NATO). I put a Choate Ultimate Sniper stock on it right after I bought the gun. This is an excellent stock with many features not available in most other stocks. It has multiple adjustment settings and will accommodate any accessory made for Anschutz rifles. This rifle is one of the best rifles out there for long range shooting and will shoot sub MOA groups. It's also one of the most affordable rifles you will find. It also has the Accu-trigger which is user adjustable from 1 1/2 pounds to 6 pounds. This is one great rifle!
