Well then a congrats goes out to you! Looking forward to a report and pics when you get it. Saved me also, I posted it to make the evil rifle go away.

mwarren2,
Try here for a muzzle cover: www.e-gunparts.com/productschem.asp?chrMasterModel=1950z1911 and here for an original sling: www.ssporters.com/ Springfield Sporters may also be able to help you out with the muzzle cover. Call them first. hth |

Shh, Springfield Sporters is a bit of a secret, so make sure not to tell anyone else, ok?

Range report | ||

Had the 96/11 to the range yesterday. Shoots excellent. About 3.5 MOA at 100 yards. Still haven't got the camera out to take some pics, but I will this
week.

Well I bet your happy with that one, fine looking 96/11. What were your thoughts when you first pulled it out of the box?

light on the blue on the bottom of the magazine, and a small chip on the inside of the lower bolt knob. All very minor for a piece over one hundred years old.
Needless to say, I'm very pleased. And to top it off, it shoots way better than me. When a freight train passes, no one says, "It sounded just like a

I seem to recognize that porch from a poster who I haven't seen post in quite a while. wes
