Hi everyone, I and my son recently tried scanning a bunch of old 35mm slides on an Epson V600, and were highly disappointed with the results. It claims a resolution up to 6400 x 9600, but for practical purposes (including using a SilverFast USAF 1951 target resolution slide), I found it only capa...
Pre-1925 slides typically lasted only between 5-6000 rounds. WW2-era slides doubled that life expectancy, but post-war and modern slides easily last in the tens of thousands of rounds.
Hey all, What's the best way to insert slides on a Nikon Coolscan 5000 in terms of which side is "up"? I am using this scanner for the first time and don't know whether the emulsion side should be towards or away from the source. The slides I'm using were developed by fuji and thus appear normal ...
I have a Pacific Imaging Electronics PrimeFilm 7200 scanner that I bought about 10 years ago. I had started a project of scanning old slides from years back and scanned about 1,200 slides until I got sidetracked on other things. I was using VueScan Profesional for the software and was quite happy...
A few had original 1911 frames non modifiecd to 1911A1 configuration, most were frames of 1911A1 . SLides, hammers, triggers....every pistol we had was a mix master of parts. The pistol issue to me had a Rem Rand frame, Colt WWII slide, original long 1911 trigger and flat main spring housing, and all rest of parts WWII.
What we know is, slides prior to the hard slide tend to crack, which is why we advise not to shoot valuable pistols. All those many thousands of U.S. pistols with replacement slides is the proof.
Someone mentioned putting lightening slots on the slide of their 1911 Build in one of the FaceBook posts in their 1911 Builders Group. My comment: "However, I'm not too impressed with the lightening slots lots which folks are machining into their slides these days [on all types of pistols, not...
The left and right side roll marks on your hard slide are consistent with Colt Government Model (commercial slides) manufactured from 1949-1955. The same marks were used on Colt (USGI) replacement slides Google up Colt Government Model slides from 1946-mid 1947, 1948-1955 and then 1956 onward. You'll see the changes in the corporate name, the location of the rampant Colt, calibre to caliber ...
