Ahaha, sorry. Not sure how I missed your post. Thanks. Sounds like I need to swing by a gun shop and hold one for a minute before I decide on that one then
Good luck. I visited plenty of shops around the state trying to do the same thing without any luck. It looks like you live a stone's throw from me. You can handle mine.
OOC thread here I come.
Im pretty sure I saw them at DFW Shooting Sports in Bedford when I glanced around while I was hunting down a Tavor, but a chance to shoot one would be even better
Come on out to the family reunion. I know of at least one Tavor that will be there for sure.
Sounds like a good time. When and where?
April 13, I believe. At Texas Star Shooting Range in Kempner, Texas. See the TGT Family Reunion thread.

I picked up what appears to be a 1947 browning A5 12ga. At one point the factory non ribbed barrel was cut off with a hack saw to 18 inches.
I am now deciding if I should keep it as is or SBS it down to a smaller size.

I'd love to get one of those. The cost of the ammo and lack of options keeps me from going all in on a P90 and a Five Seven
I think you'll like it. Fun guns for sure.
I have been looking for a Bond Bullpup for quite some time. I finally found one at a great price at the Pasadena gun show today. Unfortunately it was lost in boating accident on the way home.
I SWEAR! And I DO MEAN, I Swear, the next house I buy or live in will not have a body of water within 300 miles.
With my luck though, I'll fall through a rusted manhole cover during a 1000 year flood
It almost seems like it's that far from my place, yet all my guns seem to find that same fate.
MORE pictures please! (From front, back, top, bottom, inside out(!)... whatever you can manage!). What grade is it (Service grade)? Did they send a magazine with it? (Interesting: no idiot scratch). Ithaca manufactured.... any idea what year?

Here's a bunch of pics I took. https://imgur.com/a/IaM9iRy
It's a Service Grade. As far as I can tell both the slide and frame are Ithaca and the frame was manufactured in 1943. It was re-arsenaled at Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) in March 1980. It came with a magazine (see pics).
That's all I know about it, but I would love to hear anything else that anyone here can figure out.
As for the lack of Idiot Scratch, I assume you're talking about the common scratch that people mark when putting back in the slide release lever after a field strip? This is my first 1911, so I've been especially careful when stripping it.
