22s for practice, revisted

[Slowhand Bob]

Guys I know nothing of this brand but it does stir my interest BUT not enough to bid.  Look at the photos closely to see the unique differences from what we commonly see.  I t also claims to use all steel construction, like the Colt made version and that mag looks very much like the ones my original Colt Conv uses.  If one of you guys bid let us know!  http://www.ebay.com/itm/120967330837?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_720wt_940

When did Ebay start to list gun parts (again).

[Slowhand Bob]

Haven't you heard about the economy?  They will quarantine us off again when the recession is over!  I have already picked up a couple of parts by specific brand and/or model searches.  Another interesting note, there are a couple of guys that seem to be buying new black powder guns, removing the cylinder, and then selling them as two stand alone parts at pretty good mark-ups.  Ebay is seldom bargain shopping!

I just picked up an Essex frame, for a song,  complete with grip screw bushings, ejector, detent tube with both detents and spring.  I will be fitting the rest of the parts and fitting my Ceiner .22 conversion kit for a dedicated .22 1911 style pistol for practice.

In addition to the Ceinier unit, I currently have a cheap Chiappa 1911-22 and the old Colt style conversion unit.  No doubt that the Colt unit is the premier act to be followed BUT.  With the good Colt magazines now running upwards of the hundred dollar mark, it gets a bit scary supplying practice mags for a day on the range.  I am not sure what is going on but the one company who currently makes a usable replacement mag for the Colt conversion unit, with a follower that should lock the gun open, grinds away the locking tab???  Be sure to always keep a tiny bit of Break-Free on the floating chamber, them do be a booger iffen you let them get locked up!
