Been shooting PCP's for about 18 months and own 4 good rifles don't need any more at moment. Someone gave me an old 1911 that didn't work so I dismantled and it was clogged with lead BBs. Got them all out and was left with box of bits. Quick look on the youtube and someone showing how to put it back together again. Sorted. Didn't like Black bear written on it so out with the wet and dry to remove it. Looked a bit patchy so out with satin black spray paint and a couple of light coats and then a little 1200 grit to rough it up a little and yes I like it now. Need a box for it so made a distressed box up did some research into the 1911 and put a history of pics inside the lid. Well that started it off now another interest I have so just done another project with a DW 715 6 inch. Now looking for a SAA 7.5 inch which brought me here, and have other idea's. Oh where will this end ?

Hello Rich and welcome to the Forum. I know you don't know me so you won't know what I'm going to ask next but.........any pictures of the 1911? As and when you've settled in and had a mooch of course but, I thought I'd ask.
P.S. I realise how ironic it is of me to ask for pictures because I've been on here a while and I STILL haven't learned how to post pictures!

That's you all set now buddy, feel free to have a 'mosey' about and post where ever you like now. The two members only sections (the Saloon and the Bargain Basement sections) are now open to you. I'd love to see some pictures of your guns, especially the DW715-6"
