My build skills are not that good but I'll take some shots as go.

Having trouble converting 67lbs into gsm. All the converters ask for the Basis Weight and the Basic Size: (Parent sheet size in square inches). You wouldn't know that would you nothing?

Cheers JTF

I think most people that use 65 lb also like 110 gsm

Thank God for that. The converter I look at suggested 252gsm.

I thought it was Colt 1911 not a fecking M60. :D

Cheers JTF

Use 252, buy a real spring and I bet it will really shoot

by the way we gonna get any ammo designed for these? If not, maybe after i get the store running I will try my hand at a simple thing such as that!

did anyone do a build thread on the 1911 colt? on my build thread of the Ak-47 a lad is asking what paper to use so wrote to him just now that you used 67lb card trent, he said is a post on the thread that he uses 110 lb card is that way to heavy for doing the guns not sure what weight that is over here in Europe trent would you like photos of the navy colt I done the thread of to put on the shop i can take a good few with my new camera and send them to chris

the cylinder looks good what i should have done do really was the empty ball point pen idea someone done for ethcing out rivits and marks on cars Next time maybe.

doctormax- i use 67 lbs almost exclusively. i dont know but maybe higher lbs would be hard with the pistols. you can shoot chris the photos but i dont think he has the picture mod up yet at the shop.
