Same here, but probably not the same guy.I have a friend who is a machinist for cabot guns ( Cabot Gun | an American Gun Company) and there machined, assembled, and tested here in Fort Wayne.....
But I'm not a 1911 guy.....

Didn't Cabot buy the Shroeder Bauman company in FW?
and the guy seemed okay with whatever they wanted to do to him.Here is a pretty ugly example of Ed Brown Service. You have to get to page 2 to see how bad it really gets...
Ed Brown Kobra Carry going in for repair - AR15.COM

What are the odds of buying a Dan Wesson and an Ed Brown and both having to go back at the same time. Some bad luck right there.Some people ask to be taken advantage of.

That's what I was thinking too. Hopefully, the DW side of the situation works out better for him.What are the odds of buying a Dan Wesson and an Ed Brown and both having to go back at the same time. Some bad luck right there.

So a company famous for "bargain bin" AR-15's now think they can make a $2,000 1911? That is laughable at best considering the already well established competition in that particular market segment. That and after what they pulled with Springfield that Rock River can take a long walk off a short cliff.
Well, speaking from first hand experience, they were making accurized 1911's many years ago before the great AR-15 boom, when they suspended production. I handled many of their pistols in the past and they are very impressive. The best machine rest group I've ever seen was shot with a Rock River Wadcutter pistol. It printed a sub 1" group of 10 shots at 50 yards from a Ransom Rest. My buddy was using his own reload of 4.6 grains of Alliant Bullseye under a Nosler 185 grain JHP. I don't own a Rock River 1911. I do own one of their national match rifles and I think it is higher quality than "bargain bin". I'm unaware of the politics of which you speak, so maybe you can enlighten me.So a company famous for "bargain bin" AR-15's now think they can make a $2,000 1911?

IIRC, the two brothers who founded Rock River Arms, used to work for Les Baer. They had a big falling out with Les and decided to go out on their own.Can't speak about their current product, but RRA used to manufacture 1911's on par with Baer, Wilson, etc. That was before they went strictly AR-15's.
