Gentlemen,,,,new to your forum and have been reading numerous posts with much interest,,,,I am an architectural blacksmith and build 1911/1911A1 pistols for a hobby. I am very interested in building a DR and would appreciate your wisdom and input. I just finished reading Brown's book and plan on using an L. C. Smith for my first DR. The Smith is a favorite of mine but unfortunately has a cracked barrel. I realize the Smith will restrict me to the minimun area of rifle cartridges (even the .22/.22 mag) but I want to keep "Her" in the field,,,,,,,your thoughts please, thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
