These facitilies that are assembling the 1911's are obviously not forging inhouse so who does it for: • Colt. • Wilson (just read a thread where it stated that when they started up business, they used Colt and Springfield frame and slide kits but are now onto their own slides/frames as of 1992) • Kimber. • Les Baer.
Hi everyone, I and my son recently tried scanning a bunch of old 35mm slides on an Epson V600, and were highly disappointed with the results. It claims a resolution up to 6400 x 9600, but for practical purposes (including using a SilverFast USAF 1951 target resolution slide), I found it only capa...
PhotoNet Pro. Posted June 13, 2005. Recently I started shooting 35mm slide film for the first time in. almost 20 years, and am trying to work out some of my processing. details. My main goal with the slides will be to scan them at home. with my dedicated film scanner, and make occasional large prints. Having said that, I have to admit that ...

Almost all slides outside of Ruger will be forged regardless of manufacturer. The Turkish made guns and RIA/ Philippine made pistols/ Ruger have cast frames usually but not always.
US Military Slide Replacement Analysis. It is known that most M1911 and M1911A1 slides from the WW1 and WW2 era were not fully hardened. It is thus said that these so-called "soft slides" are more prone to breakage and user beware lest they damage a potentially valuable collector piece when firing.
I've scanned negatives, but never scanned slides. I've watched a few youtube videos, but none matched my specific circumstances and intentions. Here's the rundown: 1. It's very important to me that it is a very high quality scan. 2. There are two formats of slides: I believe they are called formats 126 and 127. Here's a photo:
Dust cover on CS is way too short for FS slide. now that's out of the way, any 1911 slide can fit any 1911 frame. In theory. There likely some degree of fitting will be needed to fit the slide rail to frame rail (You may get lucky on this here as my 2011 slide did fit all the way back on my CS slide.
I haven't done any slides for a few months, but I recall that VueScan instructions (somewhere) recommend that the media setting called for in the first tab should be set to "Image", rather than "slide film" when scanning slides. This worked ok with my Minolta Dimage Scan Dual II. Kodachrome slides scanned best, with the least amount of cleanup.
A while back, I came into possession of some rare, one-of-a-kind slides of the Mount St. Helens eruption on May 18, 1980. These slides were duplicates of some well-known photographs by three prominent eruption eyewitnesses (two of them a husband-and-wife pair of geologists in a Cessna C182 plane, directly over it when the eruption began).
Some slides have lost some of their emulsion around the edges, or look a bit splotchy in the background, but in all cases the subjects of the photographs are clear and identifiable.<br> <br> I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this tread, especially those who provided examples of their own slide scans and those who recommended a ...
