Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Rock Island 45 1911's?

And not a single person followed through.

Not true at all. Crybaby internet "gurus" seldom grasp reality.

Once again, an offer has been extended to conduct a hardness test and once again it will likely be sidestepped in favor of a war of words.

We have a test gun, Scotts own RIA, we have a rockwell tester.

And no one will follow through with the test. This is nothing more than some kind of white trash discussion with the same f*cking whiners whose only response is akin to "DON'T YOU BE TALKIN' 'BOUT MY WOMAN NO MO'!" What a load of BULLSHIT.

Like I said, you're the one claiming they are too soft, you come up with the recommended hardness figures so your point can either be proven or disproven.

I tested it the last time this came up

Horseshit if you did. I recall there being an offer to test, but no follow through, just lots of hand-wringing and mangina aching. Now these "test results" are conveniently descending from the ether.

My dialogue with you is over.

I have requested several times the real numbers but all you can tell me is it is soft.

I tested it and you you publicly call me a lier.

^Crawl back into your hole.

He's just incapable of admitting he's wrong.

I have provided the RC test results from the importer

TWO people called HIS choice in gunsmiths and confirmed he's wrong; yet he still pops off.

I've invited one of the people who was THERE for the testing to log on and validate what I've said. JamesDunn has logged on, and has confirmed

I've provided the name of the importer and the number; anyone can call Rav at The Dealer's Warehouse and see for themselves.

I've provided my experience as a gunsmith in building guns on RIA frames. JamesDunn has provided his experience both testing and building guns on RIA frames.

I've provided insight into why a gunsmith will choose to work on this or that model 1911.

I've provided EVERYTHING. Bricktop has provided NOTHING to back up his assertion. The only thing he's provided has been disproved not once, but twice.

I also think it's pretty tacky for a blow hard like Bricktop to supposedly speak for a quality organization like Clark Custom. Bricktop is telling people what Clark Custom will or won't do, despite evidence to the contrary. He's telling you that Clark won't guarantee their work on an RIA gun. Clark will guarantee ALL their work; OR THEY WON'T DO IT.


Bricktop has offered NOTHING of value to this thread.

Bricktop hasn't done RC testing on an RIA
Bricktop isn't a gunsmith
Bricktop hasn't built a gun on an RIA receiver
Bricktop has postulated about issues related to welding on an RIA, but hasn't elaborated on when, where and why you would weld an RIA.
Bricktop isn't a welder
Bricktop isn't a metallurgist
Bricktop quite frankly has NO background of any relavence; yet purport's to be qualified to speak with authority on the subject

So Bricktop, again remind us; why would anyone listen to you?

BT - I don't remember if Scot ever posted his hardness testing results before now, but it doesn't matter. Someone else already did.

Face it - you were handed your ass by Kevin, James, and others on this almost a year ago, but chose to ignore that. You left that thread, shamed and embarrassed.

Not quite, little man. There was an offer, but no follow through.

Not quite, Free Willie. I don't have an unlimited amount of time or even the inclination to argue endlessly with a handful of self-important, mouth-breathing tubes. Like you, for instance. Of course you have Little Miss Kevin as your guru. He's worked on ONE of your pot metal 1911s. And he has some Facebook followers.

...Though he is neither a metallurgist nor a gunsmith.

Handled many - worked on one. Reading comprehension/reality problem again. It means only one of them needed work.

Spin it however you want, Free Willie.

I have played with many RIA�s and never had to adjust a single thing. All the one�s I�ve played with worked just fine right out of the box. I�ve worked on a grand total of one, installed some custom sights and other custom parts. There was nothing wrong with the gun, he just wanted to personalize it. Not only do they work well, but every one I�ve shot acquitted itself rather well in the accuracy department to boot.

Guess I may have been wrong too. It might not have really needed the work.
