The one in the forefront is really neat. Do you rebuild them and sell them or do you collect?
That green one, just awesome.

I have been looking at these for a bit. Seems like a decent, fun fun project to work on.

Yes. The older one. New repos are crap

Just got some new rubber for mine

12-gauge slug (smooth bore)
You shouldn't need a kickstand with that rubber.

Is it rough to find parts for them? They don’t look mainstream like a Harley or an Indian motorcycle. Cool little hobby you have there. Quick search of the web shows lots of examples in a fairly cheap price point. I’m not sure I’d have a use for one but dang they are cool

not to bad on parts. Many other collectors have stashes.
I do pre war motorcycles too….
Will an aftermarket trigger like that take the slop out of the Factory Colt's piece?

it replaces the factory trigger shoe and trigger bow. It does take some fitting so depending on how you fit then yes you can eliminate it. I may end up changing it again as I’m not sure if I like the medium length as much as I thought I would. I may end up switching it out for a long length

Is cool.
That’s a factory built ‘49 Whizzer Pacemaker “motorbike” 3hp. 40mph.
They also did a factory produced late ‘40s Schwinn Phantoms. Most that you see are kit bikes, the whizzer kit was sold to install on most balloon tire bikes.
Rounding up some small parts to get this one up and running. Just a ‘50 Columbia chassis with a 300 series whiz factory hot rod… high compression, big valves, higher cooling fins, bigger carb and spark plug relocated.

Most bicycles back then had spring seats. Whizzer did offer a optional larger seat

Let me know how you like it. I’ve been thinking about one as well.

Picked up a henry classic and a tank commander in 9mm that I plan on building out into a conceal carry 1911.
That's the Bomb right there! Iv'e watched numerous comps on guns tested and that one out performs many. Congrats!

Thats one sexy piece! Where did you get it done?
So all the frame work I did myself as well as the Cerakote work. But the slide and barrel were milled by Black Phoenix Customs. I also installed a custom adjustable trigger housing, modified the trigger shoe slightly, and mirror polished all the internals.
For some reason the video of the polished internals won’t load but here’s a pic of some of it.

How big of a deal did the polishing make in trigger feel? Been thinking of doing this on my pistola but want to know if it’s truly worth it or not.
It definitely makes it feel smoother and slightly less gritty. It also makes it a lot easier to clean as well. Unless it’s absolutely gunked up, everything else basically wipes right off.
