A couple questions about my Range Officer

[WarPig1976]

200 grain lead semi wad cutters.

Same here, loaded with 5.1g Titegroup.....

Many years ago I shot these in a Thompson Auto Ordinance GI 1911. It was quite accurate with them but there of coarse was no reliability at all. One of my fathers old drinking buddies was an armorer in the army and said he could get it shooting them reliably for cheap so at that time being a cheap skate with a new wife and baby I let him work on it. I don't to this day know what he did to it but I don't remember that gun ever missing a beat after that no matter what I put through it.

And... that gun is gone...right? I have an Auto Ord that I use mostly 225 gr lead RN and ball when it comes to hand. It works as well as the mags...which is the weakest part of that system I think. My mags are everything you can name from WW2 onward.

yep gone lol. Traded for Remington 700 ADL in 243 just because I thought I needed a varmint rifle and didn't have the money to buy one. This and a couple other foolish deals I made when young and stupid is why short of a life threatening emergency I will not sell trade or otherwise part with a gun once I own it.
The 700 I got was of coarse a piece of garbage and I didn't have the money to fix it's issues so I sold it.

This and a couple other foolish deals...a piece of garbage

Please my brother...as if we don't all have that story.

I had a Costa Mesa AR 180.(1976) After shooting it a bit, I traded it for a very nice Navy Katana...after having that a while, I traded that for a Scottish un-dressed basket sword that I later determined had been stolen from our local Scottish Reserve unit. I traded that for a US issue cavalry sabre that was in poor shape...I sold that for $100...the AR 180 originally cost me $500...the basket sword was valued later to be worth $800 to $1000...I was very sad.

That's just one.

Couldn't it just be that the extractor needs a slight tuning so that the case does not get thrown against the ejection port?
