That is a nice rig Stan. It would make me look good missing.

Whoowee that's a pretty one! I like it! That is a nice rig Stan. It would make me look good missing. And in my hands it would look like a shotgun pattern at 50 long paces, much less 50yds.  |

I had the opportunity to shoot a Clark 1911 one time about 35 years ago, a Heavy Slide version, and it even made me look good! Easily the most accurate 1911 I have ever fired.

Now if I found something like that, it would have to go in my safe.

In my stupid youth,, I passed on a Ruger MKI Bull Bbl, with a full blown Jim Clark custom job. Sleeved bbl, action work etc. This was in 1977 or 1978. The cost was $200,,, OR,,,,,, $100 & trade in my Ruger Standard Auto. Stupid me,,,,,!
Older & wiser,, and green with envy of that NICE gun there.

Clark "Tiger Tooth" stippling. The only other paper punch I've seen with this type stippling was a full up Kart conversion by Fred Kart himself. The significant difference was the Kart version did not have the staggered rows seen in the Clark gun.  |

Under the slide of a Clark custom you will see the last three digits of the serial number and the month and year the gun was built. "5 74" means May of 1974  |

This version of the Bomar rib is called a "Tuner" rib. The piece behind the ejection port adjusts up and down on the barrel hood tang to take up wear.  |

One last shot of the tuner and a closing remark. My gunsmith did not like the tuner rib. If he built a gun using a tuner rib he backed the tuner all the way off and instructed the gun owner to NOT use it to adjust lock up. Bomar made good stuff but IMHO my gunsmith was the best who has ever walked the planet.  |

I had three guns that Jim built / accurized: A series 70 Gold Cup, an early10 mm Delta Elite, and a Pin Gun. They were all okay, with the Gold Cup the best of the lot, but none of them came anywhere close to the accuracy of my Combat Government Model built by famed NC armorer Janos Videcki (he of Videcki trigger fame). Jim also installed his superb triggers in several of my Ruger Mk. I and II Target Mdl. 22's. He was a great guy and quite an innovater.
