That matches my 1903 Springfield rifle. You should send it to me as it's no good to you without it's mate.

Just picked this baby (Wilson Combat CQB Tactical LE with a recessed crown bull barrel) this past weekend. Fit and finish are outstanding.

A Competition model and an Ithaca?

Looks great. Been checking local shops to see one in person before ordering.
I have a friend that has the carry version. I also held one at Cabelas in Michigan. BBP crushed it on price. Very happy.

Rock Island - The Centennial Edition
Here's something I've never seen before... and can't find much info about it.
It's a gold-plated "Standard GI" 1911-A1 FS with scrolled engraving and "Centennial Edition" on the right side of the slide.
The plating is factory - the S/N and "1911-A1 FS" are engraved through the plating.
The grips are unusual too, black hard rubber with a "RIA" logo.
All the small parts, pins, mainspring housing, barrel, etc have a polished black finish.
Note the lanyard ring in the mainspring housing, and the beveled mag well.
I wrote to ARMSCOR and they came back with a Feb. 2011 mfg date (which makes sense), and it's on the books as a nickel-plated gun.
That makes sense too, since you'd want to start with a polished gun vice a rough one destined for a parkerized finish.
I did find an old post (fall 2010) on the M1911 forum from an RIA guy, with pictures of 4 proposed "Centennial Edition" pistols, 3 of which were gold-plated.
He was looking for comments on what folks would like to see...
interestingly enough, an overwhelming majority wanted just a simple park'd version.
