I would think fake grips are easy to find. There are tons of them listed in Gun Broker. Marky

We believe the scope on this rifle if a post WWII run made by Jenna. Here are some up close stills of the scope on our website. john1911.com/mounted-correct-scope-on-our-swede-sniper-m41b/ -Marky

Do they still make the REPR? Or did you find it on the secondary market? Marky

Well…take it up with my skin cancer doctor. 😏 Regards, Marky

Truth is, and this is only my opinion, I’d bet between now and the end of time; they make a steel version. Why? They have made officer models. 5” models. Now comped models. Redesigned the grip panel construction into a new format. So it’s not unrealistic that in the future when it’s time for a new SHOT SHOW season and they have done everything else, something like Wilson X9 HD hits the catalog. But…let me tell you, the 5” model does everything you want a steel gun to do regarding felt recoil. Marky

@@John1911 I’m with you on that, they’ve done everything else so a steel frame option would make sense for some of the purists I guess you could say. I know from reading comments on social media that a few people are asking for a steel frame model. Thanks for the reply, enjoy your content.

I’ve been there, Brother. Glad my little corner of the internet helped. If ever YT deletes all gun videos, everything we have ever filmed is still available on our website. Regards, Marky John1911.com

Agree. It is. -Marky

Dang! Really? Great to know! -Marky

I think for the money, they are a good value. Marky

Everyone loves these in the internet. On the range is always a little more muted. 😂

Well, the history of this gun which was known off camera (USPSA Single Stack Division); 2-piece guide rod and a GIANT mag-funnel certainly didn’t lend itself as being targeted towards CCW customers. Could I carry it? Sure. Would I carry it? Sure. But first I would yank that USPSA magwell off and install a more street-practical model from Stan Chen. Regards, Marky

Sun damage. Skin cancer.

@@Larry-ds6ib that’s the point of the video.

@@John1911 thanks a lot for your video man! new to 1911 but i got a new california SA EMP 3" and i saw many complaint about it like broken ejector kinda thing, and after your video what I learned is, lol be very careful when inserting the mag into my new shiny toy! and i like to thank you again for your detail explanation!

The issue is… if you have to be careful inserting magazine something is wrong. The biggest culprits are extended magazines. It’s OK for the round to slightly kiss the ejector. But if the entire stack is getting pushed down by the ejector? That’s a big problem. Not all “1911” magazines are the same. Marky

I think the Tisas is pretty compelling as a “starter” 1911 actually. But don’t let the Tisas fan-boi’s try to convince you it’s as good as a semi-custom. It 100% is NOT. The fit is simply NOT there in Tisas products. Marky

My mask wearing outside predates covid by at least a decade. I wear masks and gators and sunscreen to stop more sun damage. Kinda required to actually. Regards, Marky John1911.com

Yes the 9mm Steyr & 9mm Para both use the same clips. As for where, I bought ours from a dealer’s table. Marky

True. It’s more about perspective and use case. Marky

No. We don’t sell firearms. Sorry. Marky

1. It’s a drift adjustable sight. The key might be locktited. 2. Doesn’t matter if “it’s off center” in the dovetail. Is it mechanically zeroed? Have you shot the irons to confirm? Wilson may have drifted that sight intentionally. Shoot the gun and confirm zeros. Adjust accordingly. That is what the dovetail is for. Regards, Marky John1911.com

We shouldn’t assume everyone knows everything. It’s always good to ask. Glad we could help. Regards, Marky John1911.com

The idiot scratch obsession is really something driven by collectors, not shooters. And says more about the person negging on it than the mark itself. Nobody ever accomplished a great feat of pistol shooting to then have someone in the cheap seats ask about the scratches on his gun. Food for thought. Marky

We do not have any TDP or drawings for these types of firearms. I suggest a Remington Historical society or museum. Marky

@@John1911 Thnx John I was try 🤷‍♀️

I typically do a safety orange, yes. -Marky

Yes. In theory. But here is what is my reality. I never use the app anymore. That’s just ended up being more flash than substance. When running drills for myself or with other shooters, fiddling with the app is just a pain point. If the app disappeared from the app store, I wouldn’t even know it. YMMV obviously. Marky

If a scope comes with one, and most of the really good ones do, sure. But…in the precision rifle world, it is has been my observation that most people who seek these out do so as more of a flex-for-the-gram. We used to see this kind of stuff in the martial arts community when newer guys would eventually ask for the “secret death touch moves”, etc. In short, these kinds of inquiries tend to smoke out the novices because it’s easy to buy more stuff and hang it on your rifle. It’s hard and humbling to go out and train and put in the work. So whens one asks me about buying an ARD, I usually respond with a comment along the lines of have you earned it in your training? I have zero problems with ARDs. Regards, Marky John1911.com

Happens to me all the time. 😂 Marky

Yeah, I have the same shotgun but in Airsoft and I was looking for a video where I can see how to change its spring

They make a LAW-12 airsoft gun?!? Holy cow! Ya’ll be serious gamers!!! 🤯 Marky

@@John1911 My Airsoft gun is very close to your shotgun, this was the reason why I thought that it was the Airsoft gun jajaja 🤣

Most “gun people” don’t now the LAW-12 exists! Super impressed. -Marky

I agree 100% with Dave!!! Marky

You’ll only make that mistake once! ;-) -Marky

It sure is

Glad to hear it. BTW…looking at your profile pic assuming you are Canadian. Is there a chance you guys can get your gun rights back if Trudeau falls? Honestly I am not really versed on Canadian politics. -Marky

Reading this comment, I was like, “Did we?”. Went to the search bar on our website and….yup. That’s us! 😂 Link below. Marky john1911.com/model-1917-with-bar-magazine/

@@John1911 yeah one day I decided to do research on some random stuff like “did the allies made a trench mag of their guns” then on a forum someone had that photo Now I got the full context now

@smallebige somebody on a gun forum shared our content? And it was positive?!? Dang. I don’t recall the last time a gun forum guy wasn’t Big Mad at us for some reason or other. 😂 Regards, Marky John1911.com

@@John1911 I kinda forgot the context I think was just chill convo

They are neat guns. Yes. Marky

I guarantee you some lawyer somewhere, somehow, someway, will try to argue that exact point. 😂

Glock holds these close to the vest and reserves them for LEO, GOV & corporate entities. The mean reason being for the very question you asked. Taking an inert red or blue trainer and converting it to a functional firearm is a surefire way end up in somebody’s criminal or civil docket. By federal law these are treated as firearms and all categorical laws in that regard apply. Including but not limited to liability and possession. As shipped from the factory they cannot be made to fire live ammunition. So please don’t do this. Regards, Marky

I am not saying these don’t have a civilian application nor should they be controlled. We have some for Christ-sakes. So don’t move the goal post. All I am saying is, 99 times out of 100 people inquiring about ARD’s are folks who likely can’t hold a practical MOA accuracy standard out to infantry or sniper rifle distances. I.e. it smokes them out. Why? ARD’s are seductive just like any other piece of gear. It easy to buy stuff, hang on a rifle, post it on the internet and pretend unrealized skill or capability. If two scopes are exactly the same and one has an ARD and one doesn’t, as long as it isn’t crazy expensive, buy the ARD model. But…and it’s a big one. So many scope features come way before the ARD in capability. What range will the scope be used? Eye relief of the eye box in the magnification range. What kind of reticle? How thick or fine is the reticle? This will be a DEAL killer at extended ranges. What does the center of the reticle look like? Illuminated reticle? Color of illuminated reticle? NV compatible reticle. Which way does the elevation turret turn. Is it a single turn vs a double turn? How much range do you get in the parallax adjustment? Do the knobs have tactical clicks for use in the dark? Does it have a zero stop to find it in the dark? How big is the tube? 30 or 34mm. Scope’s low light capability via objective size. How “severe” is the bell’s angle relative to the rings you want to use and eye-relief? I.e. will it collide up front? Does the scope come with covers? Etc. Etc. . . . . . . Somewhere down here is “Hey! It has an ARD”. All the other things are way more important to the actual shooting of the rifle. But an ARD looks good in pictures on gun forums.

Turned out to be just completely fouled up. No previous owner has ever open that up to clean it. Marky

@@John1911 Ahhh good that it wasn't a broken spring.

You never know until you crack these things open and get into them. Marky

We do what we can, when we can. Frankly with all the construction around here this year, and the limited range function; this video was pretty easy to pull off. So thank you for the idea, Tripplebeards. -Marky
