Non-Standard 1911 - Supplemental

An update and supplemental video about the 1911 pistol that was modified to select-fire. Big Sandy Shoot manager Ed Hope shows us his favorite pistol which is now registered in the U.S. under the NFA of 1934. This footage is up-converted 4x3 SD, captured in October 2009.

The Big Sandy Shoot:
A "Woodstock" like festival for machine-guns. 3 days of concussion and noise. Where gun nuts from all over the world connect and support. Northwestern Arizona U.S.A., off HWY 93 near the tiny town of Wikieup, every March and October.

This footage is supplemental to the original video posted here-

Do tell me:

Once you pull the trigger in the autofire mode, does the gun shoot until it is out of ammo or misfires? Can it theoretically do controlled bursts?

Thanks!

@DamazViccar, yes if you are fast enough, you can produce a burst. That was very challenging. Perhaps a larger magazine and some bursts would be something for another update on this weapon. I'll discuss it with the owner at the next Big Sandy shoot. 28-29-30 October 2011.

Hi rob I have 1911 remington that i just love and i wonder if their is a legal way to convert it to full automatic with a selector like yours. if i can i'm serious about converting my 1911 and adding a compensator to it as well.

@r0d1tub2, Side note: The pistol shown is not mine. It's Ed Hope's who's in the video.

OK correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how it works, right?

The selector, was drilled and driven into the firing pin mechanism, but allows enough space not to touch the pin, and the part of the selector which makes contact with the disconnector turns up and down upon shooter's switching. And that's how it kinda work out, right?

@1stMarineCapt, I'm sorry, I can't confirm or deny. Please do not allow this video to find you in court with an BATFE agent at the other table.

RE: larger magazine. The 30rd Magazine for the M3 'grease gun' fits quiet well and functions very well ime.

@IDGAF454 Well, suffice to say, people died partially because of illegal gunsmithing. not saying it was right, but it happened. So I really thunk people should keep that in mind before trying to make illegal arms.

@1lovesoni yeah ruby ridge government funded homicide...rite??

Pointless gun? I think those 50 round drum mags I've been seeing will come real handy with that gun..

@1lovesoni Listen, I don't benefit myself from friendships, and the idea is just for fun. Full or semi auto, it's still a pistol, and I already made my statement, I don't want to waste some 1-2000 bucks worth on an experiment that may only bring me trouble. Are we clear?

[1lovesoni]

@1stMarineCapt Just don't think it's a good idea. Especially when you CAN legally do it. also, I really doubt having some freinds who are local LEOs is going to be worth anything when your dealing with federal agents from the ATF. They don't screw around with illegal arms, are you familiar with what happened at Ruby Ridge?
