This reminds me, I've been meaning to get a 1911, I'm thinkin get a base GI model and then shoot it a lot and replace parts to turn it into something a little racy. Thinkin parkerized then replace with SS ext beavertail, SS skeleton trigger and hammer, SS levers then maybe go match internals, not sure yet.

One gun I always wanted German Luger idk y I just like em

My moms husband bought one in France while he was stationed in Paris during WWII.

He lent it to me to inspect and clean. It's original, matching, including the holster.

I dissasembled and cleaned it. It was very difficult to reassemble due to the close tolerances. It had 2 magazines. One was a lite weight alloy one piece excrusion and the other was an alloy/wood combination.

I fired it, took it apart, cleaned and reassembled.

As I studied it it was very disturbing how advanced the design and mfg. The quality is equal to match. The design is an extension of your hand. If you can point your index finger you can hit the target.

For sniper use a stock can be attached. The caliber is designed to maime to instill terror and to cause the enemy to use resources to care for the wounded.

To think it was mfg 60 years ago was very scary!

Hey, PM me. I used to hold an FFL for gunsmithing purposes. I have the jig to contour the frame for the Ed Brown high grip beaver tail safety and jigs to stone/polish the hammer hooks and sear face. I can also give a few other pointers on 1911's.

Very nice. Whom would be considered the authority on Mauser broom handles that would
be willing to answer some questions?

I have several questions regarding value, provenance and history of a certain model.
I would like to go on Antiques Roadshow but have neither the time nor patience.

Guns kill people and should be outlawed.

Lol! I've never seen a gun go to jail for killing some one.

I just seen an M1 Garand in the paper for $475. That has to be a good deal, right? I've never seen one for less than $600.

I'll be in the market for one of these in January.
