"And that's when the fight started..." But seriously, glad you still have all your fingers.

I'm pretty sure it's Rijas himself ruining his reputation and not his ex wife.

This is it exactly. That man is a poor gunsmith. He told my friend kenny that no SKS was worth his time working on and that he charges......$200 an hour labor on gunsmithing!!!!

I am thinking if she is the one in the middle, I would help her with her 1911 problems.

That's the only good thing they bring to the gunshows.

P.s good call on the divorce, congrats.

Thanks! I have been getting that a lot!

The disconnet was rounded and the 1911 guy told me to toss it. He replaced it with a new one when he tuned up the trigger and checked what else was going on. Thanks for explaining all that to me. I really appreciate it. I think most of these issues will be fixed between getting a new barrel and the tune up. But it might still be something I pass down to my ex-stepkids as opposed to selling to some unsuspecting soul. And I might pick up a new 1911. My purple grips will go on any full size model.

Someone asked about the mag. They make 1911 mags in various calibers. I bought two at Wannemachers. I will need to get some 45 ones when I go in April.

Have a wonderful day!

I'm confused.

My sweet pistol. Custom 40 S&W on a 1911 frame. Fire Dragon barrel. Awesome purple grips. And shoots everytime. I love it!

My 1911 was having many issues with feeding, not firing when pulling the trigger, and jamming. Now, understand that before we divorced I didn't have lots of time to do anything beside fire a round or two out of it due to working a full time job and working in the business. When I started target shooting I found this gun would not fire normal factory ammo without the above problems.

I had Rick look at it at least twice, even had him fire it once to see what it was doing. Saturday it was acting up. I would pull the trigger and it would not fire, I would pull the hammer back again and it would fire. It was jamming so hard on the next to the last bullet in the mag that it left a 1/4 inch dent. The rounds that did fire were ejecting over my head instead of to the side.

LOL. Similar MO to someone trying to sell a Hipoint or Taurus in the classifieds.

When "Fires everytime I pull the switch" really means "This jammamatic bastard can't even feed a whole clip without an FTF".

I'm confused.

When I was working full time and had a business that takes your nights and weekends you don't have time to shoot more than a round or two. I never shot an entire mag out of the gun until after the divorce.

I had someone else try to shoot a mag full out of it while we were married and was told the Magtech ammo was too cheap to fire in my custom gun. I had only shot hollow points he loaded out of the gun to test it before that. I asked him to look at it then and still didn't have time to go shooting.

After we divorced I went target shooting often. (It's fun!) And each time I got it back from repair with him it was progressively worse.

I still love the feel. It fits nicely in my hand. I will NEVER part with my purple grips as that color is not made anymore that I can find.

Hope that helps.
