New 45 Colt Carbine
« on: May 05, 2007, 02:11:25 PM »
Hello Everyone... I am back from Iraq... Short safe trip for this fat old man...

Glad to see names I know are still here... really missed you guys... site software has changed I see.

Hope everyone is well and healthy...

Picked up the 45 Colt Carbine yesterday... very handi little rifle.
Going to put the 1-4x32 Bushnell on it, unless someone here knows something bad about it.
Anyone with this 45 had any problems yet?
Is bore size normal, I will slug it when I get a chance.

Thanks, Mike

Welcome back Mike from your duty!

The Bushnell Banner 1-4x32 is the one I am using on one of my setups and so far i like it a lot.
