    Hello from Dayton Ohio :)

    Hello from Ohio, I am a long time shooter, semi collector and ccw holder and lover of fine 1911's, & just about any kind of quality built pistol or rifle and just picked up my first colt a 1977 satin nickel combat commander 70 series so thought this would be a great place to learn about it

    Todd, Welcome to the forum. Being from the Dayton area, Do you ever run into any John Oberlies related items.-- He was a well known Custom Gunsmith from Dayton, OH.. I have a Shooting Master lettered to him, & I am trying to put together a display.

    I have heard of him, I believe he built custom rifles ? I have'nt seen any of his work first hand but have heard his name mentioned at a couple of my local shops, What do you have that he built ?

    Yes, He was known for custom target rifles, From what I can tell, Very Expensive Ones, I have a Bone Stock .38 Shooting Master, I don't know if it was his personal gun, or he may have had a small retail operation, But that is unlikely, as the gun was "Shipped" to Shapleigh Hardware in St. Louis, & "Sold" to John Oberlies, Dayton, Ohio---
