Re: I quit procrastinating and ordered a "Black" rifle
My son-in-law has the S&W, it puts the bullets where they need to be. He hasn't had any problems with it. But when we go shoot, I like the original look. Mine is a clone of the Colt 604 model I built using all old Colt parts except for the lower receiver. Lower rec. is a modified Rock River Arms...

Re: What do you all think of these groups?
It's a 1906, not like you can pick one up at Walmart. Unless you really need the cash, keep the gun. Clean it up and enjoy. If you have to reline it, it's not that expensive. A 1906 & Winchester model 61 is on my wish list.
