Outdoor Recreation - August 2007

I am looking for a basic model 1911A1 with a parkerized finish. The Springfield GI model 1911A1 is out of my price range. The Rock Island Armory, which I heard about from another of my questions, has some similar 1911's for 300-350usd.
I have a few problems with the pistols I have seen so far, I want one with checkered grips and the "US" stamp on it, all of their grips are smooth. I don't mind spending a little extra to replace these grips but while considering this another issue came up. Rock Island 1911's are 6+1 instead of the original 7+1, I want the original 7 rounds and this means the 7+1 grips might not fit, right?
Also, I have called 4 gun stores they all carry Springfield 1911's (some are in stainless, which I don't want and some are on backorder) but I have not found a single Rock Island. I have searched the web endlessly and have not found a website for them either, where are they and why no website? Can I get a 7+1 RIA 1911 and replace the grips?

Out of curiosity I sat my rifle on the couch.After teasing and taunting it in everyway I could think of it still just sat there motionless.IF guns kill people then why didn't jump up and shoot me??Be real anti's...gun's don't kill pepole at all.it is a useless tool until put into the hands of an idiot.the same can be said of driving drunk,was it the cars fault or the drivers?if guns were unavailable people would just use something else..knife,rope ,rock,wooden stick,whatever is handy.mankind has been killing each other since the dawn of time,no law will ever change that.

Right now I am currently looking for a new lever action rifle with the magazine concealed within the stock, either with a box mag or a short tube mag. I would love for it to be a carbine but I would settle for a small rifle cartridge like a .243 as well. I was thinking of a Ruger 96/44M, a Savage 99 in .243, or a Winchester 88. Any comments on these guns or further suggestions would be great!

Is it just me or should we cut back on answering what are obviously hunter-safety class students having us do their tests for them?

Random questions here and there, OK. But there is a flood of questions with multiple choice (A, B, C, D) answers in the additional info part of the question. Quite obviously, its a student asking answers for the test.

Examples:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aue43mclueMn3E82wcfhpdBRxQt.?qid=20070824162237AAyuFs8
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Anhgqz2rkDnXyzvosB.e3apRxQt.?qid=20070824163222AAKemFS
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap.B7aSngltXnJAOFySmX_FRxQt.?qid=20070824163824AAoiJml

I really don't want this person in the field next to me with a loaded gun or bow if they can't do the test themselves. Honest - I'm all for answering questions, but this test is supposed to make sure the student understands the material and retains it, and can answer extremely simple questions. My 2 cents...take it or leave it
