GUNNYSACKRoy Huntington1911 FIXTUREIactually did it once — tweaked a 1911 frame to thepoint I couldn’t make it right again. My $39.95 Chinesevise proved too much for the aluminum frame I wasworking on. It was never right again, and I turned it intoa “cut-out” gun to show the workings of a 1911. That oneleft a mark.A sorta’ heavy box arrived, just today, by FedEx andafter opening, I found a heavy, blued metal thingy. Ipondered a bit but was confounded. Then the letter fromHeirloom Precision dropped out of the box. The “DearRoy” note from Jason Burton and Ted Yost explained itall. It’s actually a custom fixture you snug-up into a 1911grip frame (using built-in set-screws), clamping the framehandily from within. Then — and this is the nifty part— the solid steel rod can be scrunched intoyour vise as hard as you like, in virtuallyany position. It’s truly oneof those “Gads man, whydidn’t we think ofthis?” things. Ifonly I’d hadit back then.It’s about $79.95, is all steel and made in the good oldUSA. And tell me, honestly, if you file on 1911 frames, wouldyou rather spend $80 now or hundreds later on a messed-upframe with your name on it as the messer-upper? This reallyis one of those simple tools that suddenly make a pistolsmith’slife easier. Or for that matter, anyone who has evertaken his 1911 down to the frame-and-slide bits could usethis. Giving the old girl a good scrub? Do it right and don’trisk a catastrophe. Um, let me do the math here … $80 equalstwo bottles of decent burbon. Okay, I can live with that.For more info: www.americanhandgunner.com/productindex.htmlAPG Mission Statement:The American Pistolsmiths Guild Seal Of Approval is designed toset gold standards for the firearms and related industries.

GUNNYSACKRoy HuntingtonZOMBIE TARGETSOkay, wait, don’t turn the page! Hear me out. Full timecop and Zombie Target guru-inventor “Joe” said hewas simply tired of the same old three bad guy targetshe qualified with for the past 20 years. “You know, therehad to be a good use for my college degree in graphicdesign,” he told me. “So I combined my art backgroundand shooting experience and … well … the zombies justcame to me naturally.”I’m not sure what that means, but nonetheless, here isZombie Bob. Beware though, he is, according to Joe, “Theonly target that will eat your brain.” Hey, I had sergeantslike that, and it may explain a lot about sergeants. Joemakes four Zombie Targets — Zombie Osama, ZombieSteve, Zombie Chuck and our friend here, Bob. I thinkZombie Osama is self-explanatory but I’m not sure aboutSteve, Chuck and Bob. But it does make we wonder whereJoe got the names from. Maybe we don’t want to meetthose fellows in a dark alley. Hey, they might eat our brains.You can also get a certified Zombie Hunting Permitwhich allows you no limits on zombies, but does remindyou to “Please decapitate and burn all remains.” Wepromise. There is also a nifty skull sticker with crosshairson it. Now I’m not usually a sticker kind of a guy,but this one now resides onSpartacus, our John Deeretractor. Zombies beware …Spartacus is alert — andhis loader and bucket willmake zombie-mush outof you, I’m sure. Mightmake the decapitatingpart easier too, now that Ithink about it.I took Zombie Bob into“Roy’s Backyard” here on our land and shot himfull of holes. He kept making faces at me and it wasobvious he was frustrated he couldn’t eat my brain. Ofcourse, maybe there’s not much left so it wasn’t worth theeffort on his part? Are zombies smarter than we think?Plus, Zombie Targets don’t look like regular humanbeings so all those pacifists who get upset about usshooting at “people” targets can be happy now. Just don’tget your brain eaten if you get some.For more info: www.americanhandgunner.com/productindex.htmlThe Bidding Starts Now. ® GunBroker.com ® is the world’s largest, most popular online firearms auction,with hundreds of thousands of firearms and accessories up for auction every day, and more being addedall the time.
