WTB Lar Grizzly mark1 parts etc

I am Interested in Buying reasonably priced LAR Grizzly Mark1 Parts and conversion units especialy a 357 slide stop please Email with items and prices etc to waymore_1@yahoo.com

Sounds as if you have the best calibers for this pistol , I only have .45 Winchester Magnum as this is the most usefull round here in Alaska , yet I understand that the 10mm can be very effective when loaded to the orginial F.B.I. specs . Is your Grizzly full hard chrome , blued , parkerized or two tone ? Short or long barrel ? Old style beavertail or new ? In the near future I'll place a photo of my collection of Grizzly's here as soon as I have the proper system to do it.

Hi from Norway!

I'm the proud owner of a Mark I, in caliber 10mm Auto, which is fitting for an european, born with 10 fingers and used to metrics.....

Mine came with two magazines, and have been sparingly fired, as the ammosituation in 10mm has been hard around these shores.

I have a box of original Norma loads, I got hold of a few boxes of Winchester loads recently (they where expensive, just like the Norma!), and just a short while ago I got a case of 1000 Partizan loads, manufactured in the former Yugoslavia, in Serbia to be specific. These was quite cheap, about on par with 9mm Para around here (easily double of what you pay).

The gun came with two extra caliber kits: 357 Magnum and 45 Win Mag, but so far hasn't been fired much: only the 357 has seen a bit of action, and that dinged up the brass, which is kinda discomforting.

Anyone with good tips on how to fix that?

Mark 4 barrels

I was wondering if the Mark 4 barrels can be interchanged with either barrels from a Mark 1 or a Mark 5?
Thankyou

Loading .357 Magnum Magazines For LAR Grizzly

Wow... I thought I had seen it all... I have never had any trouble loading my .357 magazines for my Grizzlies, but apparently it was a problem at some point. I just picked up a Grizzly that I purchased from an indiviual online and I found this little peice of paper with these instructions on it. Interesting...

The gun was great! New in the box parkerized in .357... it even had the original bill of sale from 1995 with it.

How The 1911 Design Works...

Here is a link to some diagrams that will help you understand how a Grizzly or 1911 design pistol actually functions How M1911s Really Work. This may shed some light on how a barrel bushing compensator is in fact effective to a degree.

GRIZZLY RECOIL COMPENSATOR

I appreciate Paul's post about the compensated barrels. I have only seen one of them ever... I always wanted to find another one and now I am not so interested. Does anyone know how many pistols were ever shipped with a compensated barrel.

The other question I have is... how effective is the barrel bushing style compensator? I can feel the difference, but it doesn't seem dramatic... Is there any data regarding their true effectiveness?

First Year Grizzly Win Mag Price List

I was able to get my hands on a "first year" pricw list from L.A.R. I find all of the Grizzly Win MAg memorabilia to be very interesting. I hope you guys do to!

Wouldn't it be nice if these guns were still being produced. I understood that LAR experienced overwhelming response to the offering of these pistols. It would be nice to know the real story of their demise. I have heard rumors that LAR at one time got in some trouble with issues and/or lawsuits revolvong around some government contracts and shortly after that they discontinued production of the pistols.

Does anyone know the real scoop?
