Wow, thats very kick ass. Grats on getting his handgun, I'm very jelly.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;36383948]Wow, thats very kick ass. Grats on getting his handgun, I'm very jelly.[/QUOTE] So am I, especially since this gun has a few scratch marks on it, and it has a few kills. I fell like I kinda' disrespected it with the awesomely lame shooting I did with it today: [URL=http://imgur.com/Lm1Ul][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Lm1Ull.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
The spetsnaz used the Tokarev? I always thought, when in Afghanistan, used the Makarov or it's variants.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;36384576]The spetsnaz used the Tokarev? I always thought, when in Afghanistan, used the Makarov or it's variants.[/QUOTE] It was his personal gun, the service gun he got was a Makarov, I think, never really asked him really. He [b]loved[/b] it for some reason.
I'd personally take a Tokarev over a Makarov anyways :v:
I shot it for the first time today, was different than anything else I've shot (anything else pretty much being glock's ). My dad says he used to hit groups of 2-3 cm at 50m with this gun easy. damn I sure would like to shoot like that. spetnaz training can do miracles.
You sir, are a winner. I will acquire a TT.
My grandfather recently picked up a piece very similar to this beauty. Same model, Iver Johnson: Model 844. Shoots a little to the left, but by god top breaks are fun.

I feel awesome.[/QUOTE] My grandpa got himself a Hungarian TT during the Vietnam war. He was thinking about donating it to the Marine Corps museum but he changed his mind and decided to give it to me at some point. War trophies are wicked!

Soviet Russia Master Race [sup]tm[/sup] I'll try to get a pic of my dad's personalised TT. the gun is from 1937 if I'm not mistaken.

So it turns out I was wrong. The actual problem I have is that my reverse recoil spring plug broke and now I'm out a recoil spring as well as a reverse plug. I am having one hell of a time finding the parts I'm looking for. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Complex enough?

It's a Rock Island Armory 1911 Officer's Model. The schematics that I have been able to find have it labelled as a 1911-A1-CS.
Believe me, if I design a trigger mech, it'l be way more complex than that.
[QUOTE=imarawrus;36391318]It's a Rock Island Armory 1911 Officer's Model. The schematics that I have been able to find have it labelled as a 1911-A1-CS.[/QUOTE] And why won't any standard 1911 part work?
Because that part might be different than on the 1911a1 liek that one.
[QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;36391360]Believe me, if I design a trigger mech, it'l be way more complex than that.[/QUOTE] I designed a trigger and bolt mechanism for a break action gun that consisted of 6 parts total. I'd like to implement it into a firearm design but I don't have much in the way of metalworking tools [editline]18th June 2012[/editline] or 6 moving parts rather,
I want to design a single shot breechloader in .45-120, get a Green Mountain barrel blank and go at making a receiver out of some 1075 or something then case harden it. Something like a cross between a Sharps, Snider and Martini Henry with an obscenely long barrel. Would be terribly sexy. And the cartridge doubles as a jumbo gray crayon.
lead is good ja
[QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;36391488]Because that part might be different than on the 1911a1 liek that one.[/QUOTE] Why do you think that??? RIA's 1911s are all mil spec. The Officer's model is just a shorter barrel and slightly shorter grip.
The recoil spring design is different. The schematic: [url]http://www.armscor.com.ph/img/pdf/M1911cs.pdf[/url] The recoil spring is on the recoil spring guide which is held in the frame by the recoil spring reverse plug. (How many times can I say recoil spring in a sentence?) The assembly is different in terms of a regular 1911. I really don't want to have to take it to a gunsmith but I'm thinking that I might have to cause I cannot find the piece I am looking for at all.
While the Remington Nylon 66 isn't that complicated, it's still a fucked up and cruel gun to put together. Also, I've decided that I'm not gonna be a gunsmith. I'm just not handy enough for it, so I'll start looking for other things to do, maybe look into some gun-historian/museum-curator/auctioneerthingy
Off to range in 30 minutes, posting results later today. I'm super excited for the .38 lever action :v:

I shot a revolver for the first time the other day, .22 mag. I didn't like it nearly as much as the other pistols I've fired in my foray into target shooting, it just seems far more difficult to get a shot on target with the trigger pull. Then again, I'm used to shooting my dad's Colt .22 target pistol so that probably has something to do with it :v:

I found out that I'm no craftsman, and I really don't have the hands for it all. So I'm looking more into history and rare firearms. I'll try to get in the collector association thingy we have here in Norway, see if I can get a collectors license some time down the road.
Come on mang. Don't give up because you don't have hands for it. Something called perseverance will do you a whole load of good. Besides, you can always become gunsmith and collector history auctioneer guy. What do you mean you don't have the hands for it? too shaky?
Here's something: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1170460&highlight=[/url] I kept remaking some (uncomplicated) parts over 8 times and still not getting it right, whereas classmates kept doing stuff that might land them jobs at Purdey (Constructed a revolver, a Purdey rep saw it at a fair where we exhibited some of our stuff). I'm still interested in guns though, but I think I'll rather go over to selling guns, and/or collecting So I'll think I'll take a look at CNC while I got sparetime and maybe see if that's something for me so I still can get a job/make stuff when necessary.

[URL=http://imgur.com/68749][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/68749l.jpg[/IMG][/URL] My dad's TT, I am so jelly, it's from 1927 and the magazines are the original ones also. I'll try to get some higher quality photos up later on today.
