Why not just fit a 9mm slide/barrel on the 1911 you usually shoot? The grip angle and lack of similar controls isn't going to help with training.

Its going to be cheaper than a new gun, you won't have a ten day wait, you hate Glocks and while somewhat blasphemous (9mm 1911) you can shoot the 1911's more.

how much would it cost to have a .50 slide and barrel made up for my 1911?

Shit, how'd that happen? Ricochet?
I'm pretty much terrified of getting shot by all the idiot rednecks that go out there. I'll probably have to start going to a range soon. There are too many first time shooters out there more or less unsupervised, especially on holiday weekends when it's really crowded

it scares me that high caliber rifles are becoming popular with shooters that have no experience.  it can cause an accident so much further away. haha.  A kid close to where i live got hit in the head by a stray bullet last new years.  someone just shot their gun off and it nailed him in the head.  no idea who did it or where it came from.  the kid lived and they dedicated a local skatepark to him.  glad he lived, shitty story though.

How did you get that paint job like that?  Curious your method.  The smoke appearance looks really awesome.  I <3 spray painted bikes.

I put a few coats of gray primer on the frame/fork/bar and a friend airbrushed all of the detail on with a bunch of stencils he had for splatter detail.  then put an entire can of matte lacquer on it.

I've always been a fan of Marvin Lotterle's bikes back in the day. I came to the realization that I had most of the parts on hand to make a similar build happen so...
I started assembling a "trail" bike. Started off by painting it an Aitken S2i brown, added an Aitken seat and front tire, some King hubs, Thomson stem and post with Zodiac work, custom headset cap. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect 33 tooth sprocket.

thats not a fit...

Kinda interested in buying a "sporty" WWI-WWII era rifle. Thinking like a bolt action. Or any other rifles you think are of interest. Not looking to drop a shit ton of cash this is just kind of spur of the moment want.

m1 carbine is pretty sick too though.  i know its not cheap but its really a sick gun

Love how people try to act like WD40 is useless, just to try catch people out.

WD stands for water displacer so it is in fact the opposite of a lubricant.  WD40 is helpful in some applications but is for the most part something that doesn't need to be close to a bicycle.

James, do you only do custom covers with bases you have or will you let people send you their seat/foam to be recovered?

if it happens to be a seat i do not have...  I like to use new seats cause typically a seat is pretty nasty under the cover once it has been used for a while.  I don't mind doing a seat for someone who wants to hold onto a seat that is not readily available anymore though
