I would like to ask the members here about finding a Auto Ordnance St Valentines Day "Thanks from the Gang at Auto Ordnance" card that was issued in 1982/1983. This particular card had an oval...

UPDATE... The Ebay guy is back with a great deal on 5 pack sets ...

The guy on Ebay is out. I think I bought the last ones he had. Here is the page from Midway. If you have the large plastic follower with conventional fixed slide stop leg, there is a good chance it...

Here is the original Kahr follower compared to an un modified 45 shooting star follower.

Just what trigger did you buy part number wise? There are a few on the trigger section to choose from. Did you get a picture of the trigger difference side by side shot? That would be an interesting...

Hey folks, I picked up some 1911 mags in a used sale box at Cabela's a few weeks ago and was impressed with the mags that had "shooting Star" stainless followers in them. In the passed I swapped in...

Gez Story, ya found every pic and thought i posted on that build! ol Rick Tracy would be proud....
The seed of this must have been planted back in 82 when I converted 6 FA 1928 Tommies to fire...

jg, this makes a great comparison between the 2 differing lock ups. The slide thickness on the new slide is exactly .150". I didnt measure the barrel lug its self but how much of it actualy rides up...

Seems a couple of folks didnt read page 2 of this post! The gun did go back to CS and the new picture posted on the 1st page is a comparison of the new slide and barrel courtesy of Kahr as was...

Thanks for adding that info to this post. But can you explain if its the "lifetime" of the original owner or they dont care how may owners the gun may have had?

Thanks for the comments. The mag mod involves the use of a 1/8th end mill with a operation to alow the spring a greater depth into the follower, a floor plate mod and a shortening of that extra...

Like alot of folks, I like wood on steel guns. Thats why I put these wood grips on first thing when I got my K40. Tho, I had a minor problem of the mag catch letting go of the magazine during recoil....

I put up a new picture of the lock up area on the new slide/barrel for a comparison back on the first page. Pretty evident as to why they opted a new slide and better barrel. Wheres the beaf? its in...

George Numrich wanted to sell the most inexpensive 1911A1 in the country made from the thousands of WWII mil surp parts he had on hand. The first guns came into being late summer 1981. They were...

Thats a early West Hurley AO gun. It has been built from some Mil surp parts on a Essex frame & slide. If it has "Colt 45ACP" stamped on top of the barrel, it was made in 81-83 (up to E04000 SN). If...

I dont know if they still honor the lifetime thing but the admin here claimed they do not. I'll take his word for it. I would think CS would be liable only for installing a "known" faulty barrel. A...

A as stated on the invoice "test fired" condition on a brand new barrel would not have put the heavy maring over the chamber and barrel OD. Its used, but it works fine and for a used gun 10 years...

Well, I got my K40 back today. Iv been without the gun for just over 2 weeks. Thats not bad for anything to be turned around these days. Kahr CS replaced the slide with a brand new one and they...

I just wish I miked that slide at the "no lug" area for thickness befor I sent it out.:( That would have given me a better picture of if it was gun or use related when compared to a good slide that...

This is their Black "coated" stainless gun. You know, if the gun didnt shoot so accurately and handle so well in my hands, I would just sell it but my feelings are it is not safe. I would rather take...

Thanks for the replies. Folks, my point here is, is this a defective slide right from day 1? I dont know what the thickness of a "good" slide should be from the top of the slide to the bottom of the...

Just got a used K40 off GB a couple of weeks ago. Once over, it looked clean so I put my first 6 rounds in under 1.5" off hand @ 30". I realy start liking this gun right off the git go. I put about...
