nice

dead barrel after that?

i had a squib last time out and im thankful only the front half of the bullet made it into the rifling.  It was still shallow enough to prevent another round from chambering up.

I caught it because it jammed, and when I cleared it spent brass fell out (never had that before.)

So that triggered a red flag and I took a closer look.

I must have not charged that one somehow when I loaded.

Which is odd, because I have (or had) pretty thorough quality control.

I think alot of the guys that would be crying about abuse of a stock barrel either bought the piece as an investment  or hate cleaning the carbon from cruddy ammo!

i don't know, all i've ever shot through my 1911 is swc leads, and that barrel looks the same after 10 shots as 250.

bullseye powder if it matters.

Is it more the powder or the quality of lead?

Or both that make dirty ammo?

i'm for banning the polygamous barrels. one barrel and one gun, that's how Dad did it, that's how America does it...and its worked out pretty well so far.

polygonal barrels will foul super-fast from lead, which over time can increase barrel pressures.  cleaning lead out is a pregnant dog, but of course it's doable.

Anybody got any FHE with the Ballester-Molina .45s?

What's a good price? A co-worker has a nice one for sale.

Yeah, sorry, I know, looking for a fast answer.  ;D

I posted in the 1911 thread asking the same question but was quickly swallowed up by volleys about magazines.

Hard to get any respect around here.

How much is this coworker asking for it?

These guns are Argentine made 1911's with some changes to avoid paying royalties to Colt.

The mags are the same as a 1911, and I think the barrel's are also the same.  The mainspring housing is not removable, all the guts come out the top I think.

As I recall, I don't think they're worth as much as an argentine made 1911 (which all the books I've read say to consider these guns equal to a colt 1911)  I valued my Sistema 1911 (argentine made) at $400 in poor condition.

I thought I did well because that's what I paid and I think my gun is easily in fair condition.  Nice ones are up in the $600-$650 range.

If this gun is in fair shape, used but not abused I'd guess a decent price would be about $400.

Make sure he lets you test fire it first.
