      Help me identify this USGI 1911A1

      Slide is marked "G" behind the retainer. Is that correct? Any other markings I should be looking for while it is disassembled? EDIT: frame is also marked "G" and has a few very small markings on the inside that run toward the front

      I'm hoping someone can chime in about the frame markings. I was led to believe that it was mostly correct Remington Rand, but I am beginning to doubt that

      Help me identify this USGI 1911A1

      I've been looking at the sites and the No should have been switched to a capital O by 1 million. Also some put mine in 1944, others in 1943

      Help me identify this USGI 1911A1

      Hey guys, I picked up this example today, but I'm having a heck of a time figuring it out. I believe it is a mismatch due to the serial and No instead of NO, but the font seems like it could be right. Frame possibly Ithaca? Slide is Remington Rand, barrel is HS, thumb safety is checkered, hammer...

      NFA Tax Refund?

      Yes, you can. Keep in mind that the refund will not be immediate. It will likely be a month or two.

      I want a new old stock for my M1 Garand

      It's easy to go down that road. For example, I wanted a Vietnam era stock, sling, and handguard to make my M1A look the part. That led to replacing the flash suppressor and sights with USGI counterparts. Which in turn led to changing the barrel, trigger group and complete gas system out for USGI...

      Little over 1k without the stamp. Some variation of costs depending on standard vs rail mounted. The Colts are way up there in price, almost sub gun money.

      Cross another one off the bucket list!

      USGI stocks will fit the loaded model just fine. It's the ones that are really worn that can be loose. People tend to bed those. A proper flash suppressor and stock will really up the style points

      Chalk rounds mostly. Some 12gauge, maybe a beehive (22cal cluster), and some smoke rounds for good measure.

      current ATF wait time

      Blue tip chalk rounds aren't too difficult to find. The factory seconds are even cheaper. Plus there's plenty of smoke, gas, signal, and less lethal round options. EDIT: you can purchase or build explosive rounds, but there's a tax stamp for each one time use item, not to mention no where to...
