Learn from my mistake on Gunbroker

[Shark1007]

I guessed the guy was a hand loader and or was shooting hot stuff, in fact, he put a note in the box as to his fave hand loads. It took me forever to get lead from barrel, finally heat and froglube got the rest out. It's supposed to keep frame from being battered. I use them for .460 Rowland.

Those buffers can shatter and cause the gun to malfunction. I use heavier recoil springs. Toss them, IMO. In fact I am waiting on a whole shipment from Midway, all 1911 parts....ALOT of 16# and 18# springs.....You can probly use 20-22# springs for the Rowland, but not buffers.

BTW-----Midway is implementing new shipping procedures that they claim will save buyers money. Fair enough. I haven't gone over it yet. I keep a list of parts I need and make sure it exceeds their Free Shipping price, then I order.

Yes sir, I got the Midway notification this morning. On the Rowland, I haven't shot it yet. The buffer is buffering the inside of the safe. My cervical fusion limits my hot load shooting these days. It's custom 1911 that has a heck of a recoil spring already. I did buy at a reasonable price, but hate to have to fix a "line new" pistol.

My two cents......customize the pistol. I have pistols I won't alter, but ones that have seen their fair share of lead downrange are fair game. Short triggers are my first swap, always, have two on the way. I have much disdain for long 1911 triggers. But, IMO, the trigger is a strong part of the pistol's looks...cannot be just any short trigger!

Thanks, . I sorta suspected you weren't buying shoddy parts. I'm checking this out and making some purchases.

gunbroker is a tough place to buy...I only buy NIB and froma highly rated seller...its tough when you can not touch the gun first I know. Hopefully the gun I just purchased and will pick up today will not have any issues. Its new in box but you still never know!
