Just noticed the ACII is full size and my AC is Commander size. Anyway nice photos of your ACII in the green green grass of home!
That is some scar in the barrel!
The AC Trophy in the same case had that the entire circumference of the barrel!Originally Posted by tekarra
Forget the "scar" in the barrel. Too often we think a perfect bore is necessary for fine shooting.
I've seen this before. A mark in the bore or machine marks in the same or slight rust or pitting.
They say the barrel is the heart of a gun but the heart of the gun that works with the barrel is what makes the gun.
What matters is how it shoots compared to another similar gun whether Colt or Springfield or Kimber or whoever. How does it shoot? If you like the way it shoots the problem with the visual on the bore means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Good to go. I have never encountered anything like this on my firearms. I only have 40 rounds through it since I dont have much free time. Thanks for the input.Originally Posted by SPQRII
Hi again sir. How much would a barsto or other match barrel cost in your area?
The 1911 is an aficionado's weapon, and has a place in the modern arsenal for those who are dedicated to it. With proper setup and maintenance, the 1911 can serve you well. -Hilton Yam
I bought and shot an old Winchester 1890 that shot only shorts. I went to the range knowing the bore was the ugliest thing I had ever seen. It shot perfectly on target grouping tight. From 1890 with pitting and lost rifling and all you can imagine. It still shot straight. It was a gallery gun shot a lot with corrosive ammunition. It shot perfectly when I got a hold of it.
