Plenty of horor stories about almsot every gunsmith.

I've ordered the court transcripts for the forum, and will post them once they arrive.

I did several hours of research into the Beretta 92 after reading through this thread and then called Dr. Nick. He returned my call (at 11 at night which doesn't bother me at all but i thought it was rather funny) and then proceeded to talk to me about anything and everything to do with his manufac...

1) Yeah, I'd have to agree that the Gunny could probably shoot with almost anything and shoot without much in the way of issues. He's a machine. However, equipment does make a difference... Comparing a Cabot or MCP to a woodsman, well... that's a severe handicap. I doubt that in a ransom rest at 50 ...

So, Current news: The MCP Pistol team had some sort of internal issue that lead to the team being disbanded. It appears that a specific member of the team was running around and presenting himself as speaking for the team, etc., and it caused serious issues. Since MCP now it at a point where they ca...

I don't think anyone reading your ideas on here believes them, however, I hope your circle of friends does not act on them without consulting a gunsmith. Ben Ok, so then the question comes down to: What did I misunderstand when Dr. Nick was explaining it to me? Specifcally, I was told that they wer...

GB, with Brian Zins shooting Cabot Guns, and the rest of the team having previously left, do you know if MCP is planning on putting a new team together? Did he say why the team left? Unless something changed significantly... I don't think that's the case. Honestly, they are in business together, ho...

Freepistol: So that would mean that I have the overall idea correct, but the terminology wrong? So MCP is setting the "freespace" after the headspace on the 45ACP barrels so that it is specific to 185gr wadcutter / Nosler 185gr JHP. [I've been told 185gr JHP from Nosler, but I've got to as...

No, there are actually specific reamers for standard .45 barrels and match barrels. Additionally, you can order reamers from PTG, etc. specifically to your specifications. MCP does this with the headspacing being set for a 185gr nosler JHP. I know in rifle shooting, such as with TRG-42, the head spa...

I would call them up on the ammo thing folks. Especially the packaging issue, and the manner the ammo is sold. I do agree that if there isn't an easy way to distinguish between the two load types, then the ammo isn't as useful as it could be. In so far as the velocities... I wonder if the folks havi...

After posting my situation to the former Bullseye-L, my money was returned. BTW: during one of my phone calls today, I brought this up and indicated that if someone had my money and didn't hear back, I'd be PO'ed. The folks at MCP indicated that they were going to probably stop accurizing 92SFs at ...

BTW: To the other person that was giving me a hard time about Brian Zins testing pistols, being injured, etc. (The person that mistakingly quoted me as saying that he was testing "every" pistol...) One of my phone calls also revealed that Brian hasn't fully recovered by an injury he sustai...

I live down the road from STI and know Dave Skinner (owner) and several engineers. I asked. They told me they make MCP frames and slides. STI will make any parts you need if the quantities are high enough. Then you would be familiar with a guy nick named "Rabbit," that had MCP make STI ab...

I just got off the phone from talking to STI and they said all their frames are made in house and MCP makes nothing for them. Ben Maybe they are no longer doing business... maybe they have an NDA and what I overheard I shouldn't have... maybe it was short term work... I've got no idea. Either way, ...

There are definitely quite a lot of information being posted here about MCP and Dr. Nick and frankly some of these postings seem to be pure baseless accusations. What I do know from the years I have dealt with Dr. Nick is that he is a exceptional gunsmith and quite a knowledgeable person. There are...

I live in Eastern PA and I don't see any dealers closing here. I buy from a few who still operate from their house basement. We haven't noticed any BATF agents hiding in the bushes. The biochemist analogy is a really good one. If I was a drug dealer I would surely send my drugs to have them tested ...

There have been many claims regarding MCP that are so far out there, like the 1 in 5 pistols being stolen. Those claims alone are hard to believe. What pushes me to not believe anything from them anymore are obviously false claims, for example the one on his website stating that he makes his own fr...

PS... WHOOPS, I stand corrected... the health and nutrition part of hte site has not need updated.

GBM, In #1 you say they don't work on other people's guns, but in #7 you say turn around time has been greatly reduced. If they don't work on guns sent in, how can turn around time be reduced? I doubt very much that Brian test fires each pistol considering he is presently recovering from an injury ...

After posting my situation to the former Bullseye-L, my money was returned. Man, that is really sucky. The amount of time it takes to build those pistols (by adding the rail system to them) is considerable. While they've been trying to stay on top of the orders, the reality is that 1911 based pisto...
