How is the milsurp market these days?

After waiting for almost 2 years i just picked mine up from CGP. She’s a 1944 service grade Ithaca with a Remington Rand slide. Looks like it was rearsenaled and put away...very good condition. Looking forward to cleaning her up and taking her to the range

thanks! I’m trying to decide on whether or not to shoot her.....the only wear on her is on the outside

What barrel did they stick in it, AC.???
Are the arsenal overhaul marks on the left side of frame.???

Personally, that wouldn't be something I'd even think about...lol. I'd have to try at least two boxes of 45 in her.

Yeah, me too. It event felt strange typing that.

Nothing on the bottom of the barrel chamber.???
No P proof mark on the lug.???

I didn’t find any markings in either spot. Finish seems to match the slide. No arsenal rebuild marks anywhere. Strange.......

According to my notes, its a 1949 and later replacement barrel from Colt...
