    For that money, it could be fun to play with. I’ve wondered who you would have to go to for something that’s as close to a war time production 1911 as you could get. Most made today are made to higher standards or tolerances than they could make them back when they were cranking them out by the thousands.

    When I look at the really rough machine tool marks on my Remington Rand, I can’t help but think that even Armscor is turning out a nicer 1911 now days.

    It could be fun to pick one of these up and run it through a WWII usage pattern, whatever that would be. Maybe a test, then train, then some mag dumps as they might have happened in battle, train with it some more and repeat. Anyone have any idea what the average round count of a WWII 1943 issue 1911 would have had by the end of 1945?

    That would depend on the theater of operation. Hard to say but many were just worn the heck out at the end of conflict and again saw use in Korea.
