The ejector usually has a tang that sticks off the front. I've seen some real short ones but that looks way too short...



Can you take a photo of the ejector area from the top?

Broken ejector?

Leaning towards the Magpul UBR stock and MIAD grip for the lower assembly. Everything I have read says it is a very solid setup. A little heavy but gives a good balance. I don't plan to run around with it anyways.

Nice.  I really should get a nice shotgun for all of the waterfowl hunting around here.  It always seems I'd rather spend the money on my rifles though.  I mean, my 870 has never failed me but a nice shotgun just feels so good to shoot.

The guy with the Supernova also has a Remington 700 in .308... I wish I had the cash to make him an offer on both of them!

Meeting up next week with a guy selling a Benelli Supernova Field. I was going to pick up a Remington 870P last week but the seller sold it the morning I was supposed to meet with him. I can't find an 870P anywhere else so I'm going back with the Supernova...

Out of curiosity- why the integrated trigger guard?

That's just the way Quentin runs them. I'm not that much of an AR guy so I'm not sure of the disadvantages, especially since its big and will allow the use of gloves easily. I personally like the way it looks.

Are there any disadvantages? I can see so if it were small and you couldn't go bigger, but not the other way around.

Nice! Do you already have the rest of the build planned out?

I have absolutely nothing planned yet. I'm leaning towards a pistol, but nothing is set yet.

I finally heard back from the seller of an 80% AR billet lower. Should be getting it within the next couple days.

Suggestions for a cheap home defense shotgun?  I know it won't be ideal but I'm guessing I could still go blast some skeet every now and then with it right?  Changing the choke up maybe?  Not really that well versed with shotguns.

Also, theres a chance I might be moving to California.  I've got pistols and am planning on buying the shotgun.  Anything I need to know?  Do I have to register the guns or anything like that?  I don't conceal carry or anything so that won't be an issue.  

Thanks dudes.

What handguns do you have?

Where in CA?

I've been considering a few other little mods for my G27. Rounding the trigger guard and slightly slimming the grip area. Possibly polishing the slide. I haven't seen one done with all this until this evening when I stumbled upon this photo on glocktalk. Fairly smiliar less the stipling.

I don't have a grip with a laser...

Being in CA I can't even buy just a frame here so building from the ground up required me milling my own. Since you are in TX you can pretty much do what you want. Check out cncguns.com for Justin's 1911 build in the projects section and all over the forum for %builds. Garagegunsmithing.com has quite a few, so does homegunsmith.com

As for 1911 specific forums 1911forum.com and 1911pro.com are great. 1911pro is a fairly new forum but consists of many of the top 1911 smiths so its a very good resource. I have my entire build on cncguns, garage and 1911pro if you want more information.

I haven't shot it yet. I still need to add sights. I simply haven't been to the range in a while.
