I’m trying to find trades for something complete. Also, I’m not a fan of PSA
He never brought it home
I despise rails.
Where? Only service rifle style AR they make is an A4
I never mention a rail. I said Flat Top as in reciever
Which has a rail instead of a carrying handle.
with this magic part, you can make it all go away
NO. Stop insisting it, rails are useless to me and I hate how they look. I don’t need two big bolts sticking out the side of the upper.
Slightly more expensive than an SP1 for a frankengun that says COLT M16A1 and SAFE SEMI AUTO on it. They weren’t even grey until more recent showings.
That's why Colt is doing so well in the market. And financially.
For furniture look at us collectors ordnance. They have everything you need.
If they wanted money they’d bring back the snake guns and WWI & II 1911s for competitive prices. Thinking they can just sell collector’s garbage and live off non-existent government contracts.
Hey, it's worked for 3 or 4 bankruptcy filings now!
Not building, also i’ve heard on arfcom things are starting to get iffy with them.
I want a Pre-1943 U.S. Army Colt M1911A1
How about the $2500 price tag???
If you’re shooting with a normal powder load 1 in 12 is plenty accurate.
I want the same thing I'm working on a 16 inch barrel version now. It will only take as long as the money to come in. Parts are out there. If you want a 1 in 12 twist barrel at 20 inches that will be that hardest part. There is a company that makes what you want its around 800 for the complete rifle.
You think I havent tried many times? 1: everyone thinks their garbage is gold. 2: I’m trying to trade the stuff I have in the classifieds.
Do you have a modern 1911 currently?
has nothing to do with powder, and everything to do with bullet length (weight also)
Yeah besides price.
You are correct but I want to stabilize a wider range of bullets for a more versatile rifle.
setup an auto-alert with your price point, and let the dog eat. You'll eventually find one maybe not pristine but those things aren't 'rare', it's probably market fatique from people trying to sell $500 ARs for $1200 with 3 mags, a sling and a bag that they paid $1500 for.
Why would I want some rare thing? I need a shooter
There ya go. You can get into a shooter grade pre-war 1911 for around $1500-1800.
Not pre-war, pre-1943 changes Colt made that made it cheaper and looking like a Remington Rand
You do want a rare thing. The A1s are rare. I found this out. There are only 15 billion ARs out there and 1 million of those are A1s. And half of them are on the sea floor, buried in a ditch in Vietnam or other wise useless. So yes rare. Parts not made new are also rare and so are the ones that are made new. I suggest build. What are you wanting to spend? It won't take long to build it depending on budget.
I’d still need to swap the barrel for an A2 profile one, swap the forward assist for a big button, refinish everything grey, and swap the dull furniture for glossy A2 furniture.
When did I say I was looking for an M16A1? I want something like a Colt SP1, pre-A1. Also, what’s this about civilian AR-15s in Vietnam?
