My CMP number is in the 18,000’s so I’ll probably never get one of those 1911s. Bummer.
I went ahead and picked up an all original Colt built in 1944 from a private collector. No arsenal marks so it my have never been refurbished and she looks great. The man said his dad was a 1st LT and brought it back from the South Pacific but there are no papers to back that up. Again...bummer.
She functions nicely and seems very accurate and has a snug lockup. That tiny USGI front sight is hard to see against the bullseye but I did ok. I love it.

the Stevens junior stock is glued together, it has tite-bond type 2 glue in all the cracks and thinly lining the interior. now to find a wood splinters to fit into the empty gap and tightened the barrel which is held in place via a flat head screw. Grandpa said he had one similiar to this as a child so it does have a cool nastagia factor to it. the model was made between 1924-1935 with is all thick metal with no dainty, delicate pieces except the cheap stock
