No way, I had one years ago and the sucker rattled so much I couldn't stand the noise. It was jam free but who knows where the bullet went half the time. Sold it off and bought a NIB Sig P220 WG. Still have it and it shoots like a champ. No good reason to go back to 1911.

Nope.
I get hammer bite from the issue guns so I would never shoot it, besides I have a Dan Wesson so the old one would just sit there. It would be a waste besides the price is kinda out there for a "luck of the draw" sight unseen purchase. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This. Way way way over priced for guns that are likely beat to shit. They're parts guns that people are drooling over because OMG WARLD WOR TOOOOO!!! I have hundreds of WW2 General Motors and Kelsey-Hayes 50 cals sitting in my armory right now getting ready to be issued, and no one gives a fuck about them. Why? Because they're giant piles of monkey fuck that break constantly and regularly go back to Anniston for overhaul or melt down. With that said, best of luck to those hoping for a Singer.  Must be racist or something to be expected to learn how to use a headspace and timing gage...

Flip that twice rebuilt Service grade for a $500 profit after you get it you say....Nah, I'm just not seeing it. Someone that does not get selected to receive one from the CMP might be willing to pay a bit of a premium but sure as hell not $500. That said in time you won't lose money on any grade you buy but "the clowns" are the ones that think they are going to flip them for a huge profit right away. |

I saw a large volume of them when I did a short stint in the USMC armory. They were sad then. 30+ years later, I don't think they improved.
If there are any unicorns, I expect the CMP dudes will auction them off. I will take my money to Vegas and bet on black. |

Meh, I sent in an application. Step dad wants one badly and he’s been good to me.
Gives him another shot at the lotto. I have no desire for one, but if I get one I’ll transfer (FFL) to him as a gift. He’s too afraid of getting fleeced on a gunbroker auction one and neither of us know what to look for. Doesn’t give a shit about looks, he is just hoping for a WW2 era gun for sentimental reasons (family in the war), previous heirloom disappeared down the family member jacked it from the estate story. |

if i had to do a bunch of extra horsefuckery for a $700 pistol, that'd be worth it. if i had to pay $1050 for a pistol that was as "easy" to get as a garand, i'd do that. a combination of both though and i'll suffer through purchasing one through a private party sometime down the road |
